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.'"

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.
