Blood Gnome (2004)
Slightly above Average Low Budget Horror
The lighting, acting and cinematography are average compared to other low budget horrors. What really made this movie different and somewhat interesting in a bad way was the BDSM present through out the movie. What made the movie above average was the gore shots.
The pedantic AD & D / Tolkien dork in me says that the title is semantically incorrect. Gnomes are nice little humanoids that are close to nature. The worse crime they commit is pick pocketing. So I believe the title should be Blood Goblin or Blood Golem... (sorry I had to).
I believe the only way this movie could have been better (besides not making it at all) would be to have more shocking gore and dark humor.

Extremely well made considering budget/time
I am a horror film junkie. For a low budget horror movie ... this movie delivered. I still can't believe this movie only had a budget of $100,000 and was made in 9 days. The movie had great cinematography... it had a Hitchcock meets Anime feel to it. My only wish was that the movie should have more gore... (I am always in search for the goriest movie.)
You could tell the director wanted to do more with the film but did not have the resources. If you really feel this movie is a horrible movie, you probably haven't seen many horror movies. Horror movies should be in a league of there own when it comes to rating/critique since they are almost always low budget and are usually the first movies done by fledgling directors.
