It's Summertime and the SLAYING is Easy: GNOME SICK: 7 SLAYS TIL MITHRAS
The Californer/10317229

BURBANK, Calif. - Californer -- Just in time for Christmas in July (or Mithras in July if you're more the pagan type), GNOME SICK: 7 SLAYS TIL MITHRAS is here to deck your halls with blood, laughs, evil gnomes and Santa Slasher carnage.

Available NOW to rent or buy on Amazon and Fandango At Home, this twisted seasonal satire arrives just in time for the heat!

"Gnome Sick is Joe Dante by way of John Waters," says writer/director Mike L. Taylor, whose background in VFX and viral videos (like Zomboobies) shines through in every gooey frame. "We wanted to make something nostalgic and suburban, while also being absurd and unhinged – a kind of 'Midsommar as a LifeTime Holiday Film.'"

Pete Grunderson returns to his hometown of Christmas, California, only to find his family missing. Did they become victims of the legendary Santa Slasher… and transformed into murderous mind-controlled evil-gnomes? Is his high school sweetheart Anne involved in a strange Craft Faire Cult? And what do gold bones, gorey goo, FBI agents, and ancient pagan rites have to do with all of  it?

All roads lead to the horrifying (and hilarious) truth: Pete is Gnome Sick.

THE CAST:

Starring Bryan Forrest (Never Hike Alone, Video Game High School) as Pete and Lennon Hobson (Bloody Bridget, Cannibal the Musical) as Anne, the film also features Rachel Rios, Ian Reier Michaels, and Pyar Anderson (United, Exposé) in supporting roles.

Produced by Loren Semmens (The Woman, Dead Season) and Bryan Forrest, Gnome Sick blends old-school practical gore, 3D animated gnomes, and Rankin-Bass-style holiday nostalgia with a loving nod to slashers, cult horror, and Christmas classics gone off the rails.
