"Gnomes" sounds like it's gonna be scary, Donte Burks.

I don't think you need some of the details in the logline. How about something like: "In small towns across America, tiny humanoid creatures called gnomes appear as strange sightings. When they turn deadly, one family tries to survive as they search for the gnomes' true origins."

I changed "small humanoid creatures" to "tiny humanoid creatures" so you won't have small in the logline twice.

I think if you have the title be "Gnomes", then there isn't much reasoning for the term to be included in the actual logline unless their name is important to the story.

I suppose it all depends on what you plan on focusing on. For example, "in small towns" isn't very necessary and starting the logline with a more active "Small humanoid creatures appear in strange sightings across America" begins the premise with the titular topic. Unless the fact they're appearing in small towns is important to the plot.

One more thing: if the main goal of this family is to learn these creatures' true origins, you could switch the placement of the "learn of the true origins" and "survive the attacks". That way, it makes the main goal learning their secrets instead of surviving, which is a no-brainer if they're our protagonists.

Anyway, I really like this idea. Gnomes have always had a comedic nature in culture so seeing a horror sci-fi rendition of them has really effective potential.

Great points, Alexander O'Dell.

OMG, love the idea of Garden Gnomes as a horror film. Like little Chucky's in every yard.
