Review of Gargoyles

Gargoyles (1972 TV Movie)
A fun film only slightly scary. (mild spoiler)
29 September 1999
Warning: Spoilers
Gargoyles should be on every film makers list of how not to make a horror film. It makes the common blunder of half way through the movie of letting us see the creatures too much. Cornel Wilde is good as the anthropologist writer looking for myths and monsters for his next book. Overall this is a fun movie if not very scary. Except for the first half of the film when we don't quite know what is after the actors. The suspense built by this is wonderful. So, pop some corn and turn out the lights and spend a pretty good 90 minutes watching Cornel Wilde and Jennifer Salt and Scott Glenn battling the Gargoyles for control of the world!
