Harpies Trailers

Jason Avery is an ex-cop now working as a museum security guard. Armed thieves break in intent on stealing a priceless obelisk that's stored within this vault-like stone structure. The scientist behind the theft talks of the obelisk giving him the power to control harpies, demonic winged female monsters of classic mythology. Through a series of contrived events, the obelisk opens a time portal that Jason promptly falls into, crash landing over a thousand years in the past in a land threatened by evil harpies.

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
lastliberal I tuned into this hoping to see the harpie running for vice-president. The screeching was there, but the harpies were really ugly - like lipstick on a pig.I knew I had seen this movie before in some other form. It just so happened that Army of Darkness was on cable right after it, so I tuned in. Well, what do you know, this was just a remake, and a not very good one at that.I know Bruce Campbell, and Stephen Baldwin, you are no Bruce Campbell. Leave it to Bruce to give us a really funny movie about being transported to the Middle Ages. Baldwin just seemed to go through the motion and pick up a check. There just wasn't anything there.Anyone looking for someone to walk around and look good in their movie could do a lot worse than Kristin Richardson. Of course. I would prefer a movie with Joely, Miranda, or Natasha Richardson in it, but I'll take Kristin in a pinch.This is a move that would have been greatly improved by the addition of a couple of rappers in it.
vamp88 I admit not seeing all of the movie. I came home from Live Free or Die Hard (which was awesome!) and watched the last half of this. It had me literally laughing out loud, too bad it isn't a comedy. The good was Kristin Richardson, she could act and was easy on the eyes. The OK, Scott Valentine. I give him the benefit of the doubt and believe he was just over the top and cheesy on purpose to fit the tone of the film. Stephen Baldwin let his acting chops drop to the level of the surrounding cast, which was just terrible. You rarely get the whole cast to sound as if they can't remember their lines and are just reading them off a cheat sheet just off camera. Horrendous. The CG. Holy crap. This got the most,and biggest laughs out of me. Original Sci-Fi channel pics are not know for great CGI. But this is a new low. WOW, truly needs to be seen it to believe it. Probably the worst CGI I have ever seen. Avoid this even if you liked other made for Sci-fi channel movies, or tune in if you can't believe its the worst acting and CG maybe ever. But please quickly turn it off and save the brain cell or 2 you will burn out trying to figure out how it was green lit to go out to the public.
imdb-registration-3 I am 44 minutes into the 2 hour movie, so I don't think there will be any spoilers.I'm not sure if this piece of crap is the result of a bad script, bad directing, or overall bad-acting, but is most likely all three. Stephen Baldwin is a terrible actor if this performance is any indication. I have yet to see actor provide anything close to a post-high school performance.I'd say Stan Lee is a member of the Ed Wood Director's Club and has should be embarrassed to have his name attached to this movie as director, much less as part of the title. The special affects are worse than some I have seen in 1950's movies.This movie should be titled "Stan Lee's Failure as a Director" Stephen Baldwin should retire from acting, the rest of actors should lay low for a while before their next audition.
Cas Smith I give this a three simply because I am looking forward to seeing just how consistently poor this "Army of Darkness" wanna-be is going to become. Stephen Baldwin (whose acme really was Barney Rubble) plays a wash-out-cop-now-a-museum guard, who is transported back to 9C Moldavia, and battles harpies controlled by a parody of The Bad Guy. All that to thoroughly stilted script and spastic gesticulations. Ah yes, yet another SciFi Original Movie. Oh! While pecking out this Comment, this movie has remained consistent. So at least it has that going for it. Hmm.... now I have to write more to be acceptable. O.....K..... The trebuchet looks like the Stealth Rabbit King Arthur used to attack the French castle under the tutelage of Monty Python. Ah, good. I have now written enough to pass muster. All rather silly really when all that needed be said about this movie is that it really is marvelously poor. Regards all, Cas
