As a matter of fact that scene took away a lot of the creature's charisma. The CGI is good, although naturally more convincing when combined with darkness & fog than when chasing a car in broad daylight. THE GOOD That apart, it's still a decent piece of direct-to-video SF. In practical terms, an 'OK way to kill 90 minutes'. That apart, it's still a decent piece of direct-to-video SF. Luckily i didn't run into anything more than another piece of formula: have a cop chase a criminal with climbing skills and have the monster kill the latter to warm up the audience. Dropping into the movie during a chase and a subsequent killing, it looked like the climax.

I don't have those lined out, but GARGOYLE(billed over here as Revenge of the Gargoyle) clearly falls under the Mythology & Conspiracy In Order to Protect the World categories, an approach to the monster flick which I'm particularly fond of. One does not have to watch an incredible amount of creature features to realize that the majority of them is virtually the same, dividable into a few major categories. As John Kenneth Muir relates here, it's a nice little allegory for racial tension with Emmy-winning make-up: Planet of the Apes with Wings.Reviewed by PeterKurten911 6 / 10 Ardeth Bay is missing All in all, a really awesome coffee table book.Īnd seriously, watch Gargoyles. I love gargoyles hell, I nearly put a gargoyle cop on the cover of Murder With Monsters. That's a walking tour I want to take, next time I'm in Manhattan. If that isn't enough, there's a location appendix! You can locate every gargoyle pictured inside. It's one of the few VHS tapes I've kept, but it's on Dailymotion. He muses on gargoyles, why they unnerve us, and he and his son's love of the 1972 made for TV movie. His prose always reads like he's sitting with the reader on a porch, leaning forward, eyes alight, beer in hand. I love Stephen King, and I particularly love his nonfiction, like Danse Macabre and On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. So I flip to the introduction, and find Stephen King pontificating on gargoyles. I fully expected a panoply of awesome and varied gargoyles. Serendipity abounds, because it's even neater than I thought. So I saw this at my local library and decided to pick up a company.
