7/10
Great Gargoyle suit!

Mmm.. I admit the concept in itself is good and the Gargoyles' costumes are terrific: I love that kind of "artisanal" make-up, just as much as I hate those crappy videogames-like SFX I'm used to see in recent fantasy and horror blockbusters! The face of the devilish gargoyles' chief was so expressive and I just can't stop thinking of how scary, but fascinating, the whole film would be, if I'd seen it with the eyes of a child! Some scenes seemed slightly slow-motioned and looked creepy and intense.

On the other hand, the TV-movie grade of this picture shows and the arrogance of men (who, at least, do not thoroughly defeat the creatures), reminded me of such silly, conservative 50s b-movies.

All in all it was taller Gremlins meet Creature from the Black Lagoon and Japanese "Megaroman"!

Worth watching!
