CORNEL WILDE & JENNIFER SALT IN THE TV HORROR 'GARGOYLES'
![]() |
year: 1972 cast: Cornel Wilde, Jennifer Salt, Bernie Casey |
![]() |
GARGOYLES Score: **** |
This is a dusty gem for B-movie fanatics to cherish: a nifty-paced homage of old fashion monster movies and an inspiration for latter 70’s creature features including JAWS... since we don’t see the actual menace till the last half, the implied setup builds suspense, mystery, and character-development. And while it’s dated and downright silly at times, the end pays off nicely: with a premonition about who currently rules the earth, and who, and/or what, could one day inherit it.
