There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is definitely the best made for TV movie I have seen.The story makes sense and it's not boring. That's really all it takes to be good in the world of television movies. There's only a couple things that don't make sense. Two gargoyles break into a motel room without making a sound or breaking anything and then the professor chases them. Seems a bit far fetched but whatever. Then the lead gargoyle has taught himself to speak English, a little bit lamer. But the thing that really gets me is that all the gargoyles are very different. Some have horns, some have hair, it's a bit silly. I'm sure they did it because they didn't have the ability to make them all exactly the same so they tried to make it a non-issue by making them all very different. But those are just minor flaws in an otherwise good movie. And I must say that I really joined how the gargoyles gently caress their eggs to make them hatch, comedy gold. This is the best movie I've seen in weeks, watch it.

Pure Crap. Story Sucked, Acting is horrible, music is cheese. It's garbage.Best part is some of the gargoyle costumes. And some of the gargoyle scenes, especially when the one gargoyle got hit by a truck and was dying, well done. Other than that, there's nothing here.OK, this is a TV movie. And it looks like a TV movie. Very cheap. The story/plot/dialogue? Goes nowhere, boring throughout. Acting is below par, no emotion, nothing going on. Music is just filler. Cinematography is just point and shoot.I saw this a few times back in the 70's and 80's, so I had to check it out again. Back then you had limited to what was on TV, and this was there. So, I check it out again, and was very disappointed. No atmosphere at all. These people should not make movies.Rating is an F, 1 star, very much not worth seeing.

An anthropologist and author (Cornel Wilde) who debunks supernatural myths and legends finds himself in possession of the remains of a gargoyle. Unfortunately for him, the other gargoyles don't take kindly to this. So they kidnap his daughter (Jennifer Salt) and take her back to their lair, where we learn all about the history and life of gargoyles.Man, TV movies in the '70s were so cool. These days it seems like it's just clichéd romantic dramedies or murder mysteries, plus that garbage they make for SyFy. Back in the day, though, TV movies were actually quality with fresh ideas. The whole concept is very interesting and, with a real budget, this could have been released theatrically. Former movie star Cornel Wilde is in his twilight years here but does a good job. The very attractive Jennifer Salt provides nice eye candy and gets the majority of the screen time with the gargoyles. Early role for Scott Glenn as a dirt bike punk. Speaking of which, watch carefully for the scene where the cop backs his car up quickly to go chase after the dirt bike punks. The car comes within inches of hitting an obviously startled Jennifer Salt.Notable for being the first movie for make-up and special effects great, Stan Winston. The costumes and makeup used for the gargoyles here is pretty cool and fun. Yeah, you can tell they are costumes but given the obvious budgetary restrictions of a made-for-TV movie in 1972, I think they're damn impressive. I have a lot more respect for the craftsmanship that went into this than most of what you will see today in low budget movies with shitty cartoonish CGI.

I was 8 years old when this came on TV. I have not seen it since, and I ran across it on Youtube this morning. I'm watching it right now. And I now realized I forgot a lot of it. But the scary scene out in desert with the shadow of the gargoyle was creepy and scare today.Now the father and daughter are out in desert in evening and there is something on the roof of car. It's scary.I'm tired of people trashing movies because really its about poor CGI.I like "trashy" cheap movies, like the Asylum, because it's not about the special effects.I watched Jack the Giant Killer and it was lifeless, just special effects.I'll take a so-called trashy movie any day of the week.This movie is good. Somewhat poorly acted, but it's kitsch.
