We find ourselves in Romania, where a flying gargoyle is in the midst of spreading terror and chaos. Two CIA agents are in the country to investigate the kidnapping of a young boy, the son of a diplomat. For some reason, they end up looking into the rampaging gargoyle that’s wreaking havoc across the city.
It pretty much goes without saying that you should steer clear of any film involving living gargoyles. Still, there’s something oddly fascinating about watching these kinds of movies just to see how bad they can get. This one doesn’t quite hit rock bottom — but it gets close.
To be fair, the film does have a few positive aspects. The cinematography isn’t half bad, and the score could’ve been worse. Other than that, there’s little worth mentioning, especially since the movie is far too boring to even work as a so-bad-it’s-good experience. The worst part is probably the monster itself — a tragically bad CGI creation that looks as far from real as you can imagine. The script is nearly as awful, with both plot and dialogue scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Director Jim Wynorski is best known for making softcore horror parodies like Scream Queen Hot Tub Party, The Bare Wench Project, and Cheerleader Massacre — films that combine big breasts with bad jokes. Which makes it all the more surprising that there isn’t even a single exposed boob in this one. Either way, he should probably stick to the more erotic genre, because it’s painfully clear that horror isn’t his thing. Not that he’s particularly good at erotica either — but that’s another story.
