Boy things change after 40 years.


I saw this on TV during its original broadcast. It scared the heck out of me. I just watched it again on DVD and boy, was it bad! However it was fun to see it again after all these years. Gotta love Netflix!

Well, I just watched it for the first time in 2013 and I thought it was very entertaining. Certainly bizarre, but still a good horror film.

I've been waiting for you, Ben.

If you ever drove through rural Arizona, you'd know just how realistic the movie is.

Only movie I ever actually saw Images from. I used to wake up seeing Gargoyles in my closet and be terrified. I was way too young to watch this. I need to rematch this soon.

Bad? I think it's still quite good. To me it's way creepier than any CGI type stuff they'd make today. But then again, I have taste.

Creature features aren’t really my preferred genre but I thought it was pretty good.

Bad? Gargoyles is a solid movie, no matter at what age someone watches it. The same thrills, unease, and scares are there; it’s WE who’ve changed, becoming more jaded and cynical. Accept it for what it is and you’ll be able to enjoy it again.

I’ll take Gargoyles any day over some bloated CGI fest.
