That gargoyle looked too goofy to be menacing (nm)

I thought it was decent, nothing special. Looked too much like a gremlin from "Gremlins" though!

It actually creeped me out as a kid, and still kinda weirds me out today. Especially during the initially killing, when it's left most in the darkness.

Take'em all, take'em all, put'em up against the wall and shoot'em

I thought it looked like a Gremlin too. When I first saw it i thought is that a gremlin or a gargoyle

I thought it looked kind of cute. I wouldn't mind having one as a pet, but I'd be wary of its eating habits.

reply

I thought it was pretty well-designed, but that upwards smile built into the suit's face was a bit off-putting.

reply

it made me laugh when it talked (with its head bobing all over the place)- it's head movements cracked me up- espcially at the end - The Line "And i loved you too" had me rolling.

I thought it looked like the alien from "Mac & Me" with some wings stuck on the back. Goofy looking as heck.

When I saw this at seven years old that thing scared the living s@#$ out of me!!

I admit it still creeps me out. Yes its a little goofy by today's standards, but it was well-done in its time.
The story itself & the cinematography make it scarier than it should be, much like the "Paranormal Activity" films.

Negative. I thought it looked very creepy and cool.

"Cross you heart. Hope to die." lulz

would have been much worse if they had used CGI. I give them credit for going practical. and things that are goofy looking can be downright terrifying under the right circumstances i.e. clowns.

reply

Given that CGI didn't exist when this movie was made, the choice to use practical effects was an easy one!
