gargoyle starts late one night in romania 1532 as a peasant girl (daniela nane) travels along in her horse and cart minding her own business when from the moonlit clouds above a living gargoyle swoops down and attacks her and she manages to escape the gargoyle and happens upon a castle of some description where an angry mob of local villagers and a priest are able to put an end to the gargoyle and or so they think. cut to present day bucharest where two cia agents ty griffin (michael pare) and jennifer wells (sandra hess) are about to negotiate the safe return of the son of a rich american ambassador from his kidnappers. in pursuit of one of the kidnappers griffin loses him on the roof of a building but finds a large pool of blood and no visible signs of what happened to him. meanwhile dr. christina durant (kate orsini) and her colleague richard barrier (jason rohrer) are renovating a church when the church labourer gregor (mihai bisericanu) informs richard that he has found some ancient relic and the two investigate and find a cave with lots of slimy cocoons and one very angry and very much alive gargoyle who wastes no time in killing them both. griffin and wells are on the case when they are reported missing and soon realise that local legends of monstrous gargoyles are true with a local priest named father soren (fintan mckeown) planning to flood the world with them. co written and co produced and directed by jim wynorski under his usual pseudonym jay andrews gargoyles is yet another masterpiece wynorski can add to his credits and not. the script by wynorski and ion ionescu and a. g. lawrence and bill munroe is crap and is unexciting and dull and is as simplistic as you can get. for a start i would like to know if there was only one gargoyle left who laid all those eggs because i am pretty sure it couldn not have made itself pregnant. how did it survive in that hole for 500 years. what did it eat. how did the priest know it was there. why has no one else ever figured it out. why did the priest want to flood the world with them. to rule it. the gargoyles are hardly going to take over the world and then let some priest just rule it like a king and if they did what would be left to rule. much like the guys who wrote gargoyle i do not think he thought it through that well did he. whichever way i look at it and whichever way i approach it and from whichever angle i try to figure it out from and no matter how many times i try to square the circle gargoyles just doesn not make any sense and they story has huge plot holes and lapses in logic and isn not that great to start with anyway. the character are dull and clichéd and the action repetitive and unexciting while the film as a whole is a real bore to sit through. people do illogical things and everything that happens is far to convenient like when the priest is try to convince griffin that gargoyle exist and one just suddenly shows up and attacks them. the cave full of cocoons is such a rip off of aliens (1986) it embarrassing and the ending was lame. the bit on the large ferris wheel at the fair was funny though when the guy mocked the boys fear of heights and forced him to get on it. director wynorski cuts costs and steals footage from other films and in fact the best scene from gargoyle is a car chase through bucharest but it was taken from the jean claude van damme action film maximum risk (1996). there are no shocks and scares or atmosphere. the special effects are terrible and the cgi gargoyle looks like it belongs in a computer game and has little interaction with any living cast members and there are lots of scenes of people looking up to the sky and trying to appear scarred. there isn not even any worthwhile gore to make the thing watchable and there is one awful decapitation and that it. technically the special effects are awful but otherwise it passable and the romanian locations look suitably romanian. gargoyle went straight to video and it shows with a pretty cheap look and feel to it. the acting isn not up to much and personality bypass victim michael pare makes for the dullest of dull heroes. gargoyle is a crap film and it fails at everything a decent creature feature should strive to achieve. a total waste of 90 minutes as far as i am concerned and one to avoid.
