A gargoyle gets unleashed from its subterranean crypt in Paris, France. It's up to American professor Jack Randall (a solid and likeable performance by Eric Balfour) and a few others to stop the beast before it's too late.
Director Bill Corcoran keeps the enjoyable and engrossing story moving along at a brisk pace, ably crafts a creepy atmosphere, offers a flavorsome evocation of Paris, stages the vicious gargoyle attacks with aplomb, generates a good deal of tension, and delivers some neat bits of gore. The sound acting from the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Carline Neron as feisty reporter Nicole Ricard, Justin Salinger as sarcastic cameraman Walsh, Nick Mancuso as passionate priest Father Gable, Ifan Huw Dafydd as the pesky Inspector Gibert, and Tanya Clarke as the sweet Carol Beckham. The passable CGI monster looks pretty gnarly, too. A cool little flick.
