'Lex' was also entertaining: pity he didn't get a bigger part.
The acting is good enough, with 'Father Soren' standing out as the second most important character, namely the Sympathetic Conspirator, who knows precisely what's behind a series of mysterious murders, has the means to bring them to an end and is willing to collaborate with the Hero, an outsider which is distrusted by the other conspirators. As a matter of fact that scene took away a lot of the creature's charisma. The CGI is good, although naturally more convincing when combined with darkness & fog than when chasing a car in broad daylight. THE GOOD That apart, it's still a decent piece of direct-to-video SF. In practical terms, an 'OK way to kill 90 minutes". That apart, it's still a decent piece of direct-to-video SF.
Luckily i didn't run into anything more than another piece of formula: have a cop chase a criminal with climbing skills and have the monster kill the latter to warm up the audience. Dropping into the movie during a chase and a subsequent killing, it looked like the climax. I don't have those lined out, but GARGOYLE(billed over here as Revenge of the Gargoyle) clearly falls under the Mythology & Conspiracy In Order to Protect the World categories, an approach to the monster flick which I'm particularly fond of. One does not have to watch an incredible amount of creature features to realize that the majority of them is virtually the same, dividable into a few major categories.
