Workers involuntarily release a gargoyle that proceeds to behead those who took her eggs (and some who didn't!).

Reviews
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Monique One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Koko Ko It quite an entertaining show and the story move on nicely and neatly. Basically, its about an ancient site under a church being accidentally uncovered and release those gargoyles that threatened to breed and to overrun the world. Violent murders took place and somehow a professor become a suspect. Finally, it is up to this professor that teamed up with a reporter and her crew and a priest to stop them. Sure, the special effects (on the gargoyles and the weird flickering eggs) might be a bit of let-down but other than that, i felt the overall package more or less deliver. There are quite a number of different scenes in the show too and ensures that it wont be so monotonous or get boring. Finally there was also your usual hero saving the day stuff and i like the somehow "boring" and "predictable" ending. I would rate it 7 out of 10. Cheers~
nfv23 workers involuntarily release a gargoyle that proceeds to behead those who took her eggs (and some who didn't!).the animation effects are not bad, as neither is the actor's performance, so all in all it's a solid and watchable film.there are some absurd situations but the winner is the scene where the policeman is taken by the gargoyle while a criminologist team is processing another victim... though another policeman 2 feet away from them is being showered by blood while calling out for the agent into the air, they keep on with their work, undisturbed and without as much as looking to see what is going on! that's what i call being "in focus" with work!!!
dbborroughs Workmen digging in Paris find a hidden passageway that leads to the burial place of a Gargoyle, a great winged monster that turns to stone in daylight. Its up to a professor and a few other people who know the truth to hunt the beast down before it reproduces.Better than most similar films works thanks to a better script, good effects, a good cast which doesn't seem to be working just for a buck and a director and crew who tried to turn out something other than a TV movie. I really liked this a great deal. I'm a monster nut, I love a good monster movie and will gladly sit down and watch anything with a monster. As a result I've sat through a good number of real turkey's many that premiered on the SyFy network. Most of the films seem to have been cobbled together just to make a buck. here there is none of that. We get real characters, some actors who give good performances and a sense that if the crew cares they may get to make another film. The love shows and you enjoy the movie.Certainly the plot and all that happens are ultimately rubbish, but at the same time its done well enough that you its 90 odd minutes you suspend your disbelief long enough that you end up hearing a good story.Worth a look.
Autobogg Cool CGI with this film since it's shot on video. The gargoyle grows a stone skin during daylight as camouflage and is affected by UV or simulated sunlight lamps. This makes it freeze in place but only if sunlight hits it. Otherwise, it reverts back in darkness. This turning to stone motif is exactly like Disney's Gargoyles cartoon (except Disney's stayed stone all day). This creature actually flies and bullets just nick the skin! Also Eric Balfour reminds me of David Naughton in "An American Werewolf in London". A pretty decent film shot entirely in Paris. This beast is vicious and shows no mercy with moves like a flyby decapitation. I like the underground tunnels and rooms of the egg nest (it's a female) and that they are ..."older than Rome".
