THE PLOT:

Two CIA Agents travel to Romania after some high profile and daring kidnappings but while after a known Terrorist to get information they discover the perp is not only not a terrorist, it's not human.

An ancient legend has escaped captivity after several centuries and is on the loose again and no one is safe from the Gargoyle's revenge. But what is this creature of the night really up too and how can they stop it?

ZEDD'S OPINION:

I have to admit I was impressed, allot of the made for video monster movies have been major disappointments as of late but this is not in that list. The effects are impressive, the story works and the acting is first rate. Makes you wonder why this first class movie didn't get first class recognition while crap like FINAL DESTINATION 3 and the SAW movies continue to shoveled in the theater? Now it's not a perfect movie, there are minor character issues. 8 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I agree with Zedd, for the most part. I agree it's much better then some of the dreck coming out in the theaters but there is also minor matting issues to go along with the character issues. For me it's worth 7 STARS.
