While the first two strories in this 3 story anthology are good, it is the third that has haunted me since I watched the movie years ago.
Warning - plot details revealed below:
A struggling artist, Preston, witnesses a gargoyle come to life and gruesomely kill a man. He is sworn to secrecy by the creature and set free only to spend years drawing and sculpting the creature in secret. When he finally reveals his experience, the consequences are horrible.
What still makes me shiver about this story is the paranoia that keeps Preston silent but which eventually erodes over time. It is so human to know that one must keep a terrible secret and yet want to share it with someone else. The chemistry between leads James Remar and Rae Dawn Chong is compelling and it makes the conclusion of the story even more chilling.
