One of the few movies of that era or any other that could scare the hell out of you. I have never seen a movie do so much with so little. The tourist attraction featuring gargoyle remains, the efforts of the other gargoyles to retrieve those remains, the attack in the shed, the attack upon the moving car, the motel scene, they were shocking because they were believable, with thought provoking religious overtones that were unexpected in a made for tv movie from that era. Highly recommended.
