For a city with such history, you would think that Paris would want to preserve as many buildings as it could. A religious building would probably be a no brainer, but the French are determined to tear down the Saint Jean Andre Church. It turns out to be a poor decision because now, a gargoyle is unleashed on the city.
The mid-1800's church is being demolished. Prior to the church being torn down, professor Jack Randall and his associate, Carol, go to observe some of the architecture of the building at night. The facility is not protected at night after two workers were killed (by the gargoyle) and spooked the rest of laborers. Pictures are not the only things taken at the site. Video, which is damaged when Jack runs out of the catacombs below the church, along with some items taken by Carol. Little did Carol know at the time, but she took a gargoyle egg. HEY! They have to reproduce somehow.
Don't worry, Carol is decapitated for taking the egg. Now that you are at ease, and several buckets of fake blood thrown, the inspector who is covering the case believes that Jack is the real killer and that he is trying to cover it up. Meanwhile, Jack goes to a television channel to try and see if they can recover the video. Not exactly a reputable news station either.
The gargoyle who has been asleep for 1,000 years, has woken and has a craving for human flash. I don't know the population of Paris, but thank goodness that the gargoyle decided to attack the people related to this movie. From the crazed priest who is questionable with his practices to the thin solution to the gargoyle problem, you will wonder why you ever bothered to sit down and watch this movie. Although, we do have at least one Medusa's Face alumni in this movie. Eric Balfour from Dinoshark.
I give this movie 1 out of 5 gargoyle eggs.
