7/10
One of the greatest trash horror from the seventies!!
3 April 2020
I stay baffled when I watch this movie in 1985 on midnight session, I've been waited for a second chance to see it again, however never got a chance, how it never came out officially on DVD, I found a DVD-R copy from a internet dealer, with the classic dubbed version, it was in 2012 when finally got in my hands this unusual horror flick, yesterday I re-visited this classy trash, bringing me a nostalgic feelings, forget the uncanny premise and all mismatches, the movie is really fresh and unusual, a writer anthropologist Dr. Mercer Boyle (Cornell Wilde) expert in occultism and his beauty daughter Diana (Jennifer Salt) has a meeting at Mexico where they have an awaited appointment with an elderly Indian's museum keeper uncle Willie who is willing to expose to Dr. Mercer an incredible fine story for a book, which he wants fifty-fifty of royalty, Willie shows a skeleton of an Gargoyles found at desert, also told a legend tale by the local Indians about those creatures that appears each six century, suddenly the old shed starts shaking and ends up collapse and burning, killing Willie, soon all wooden shed was consumed by the fire, what's coming is fabulous creepy story, shot on location at real cave is astonished well-done as far as possible, also the Gargoyles suits are reasonable at least, the movie explore a little bit of sexuality from Jennifer Salt clothing, the special effects are suitable to the seventies, one of my guilt pleasure!!

Resume: First watch: 1985 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7
