Verdict on Gargoyle
Recap
The movie follows two CIA agents who believe they are dealing with a high-profile kidnapping. However, their situation quickly turns deadly as they face an evil gargoyle attacking the locals.
Best Parts
The movie explores a historical creature who has returned. It has elements of a Dracula tale, with people wanting to both fight and raise the creature.
Worst Parts
It has a by-the-book formula and never feels as terrifying as the creature is meant to be. This could have been a lot more horrific and could have dived even more into the history behind the creature.
Final Thoughts – Gargoyle is a by-the-book horror.
