Not the worst in the genre and not the best. The acting is better and I personally like Eric Balfour. The story is silly but reasonably well written. The visual effects are OK for the few there are. A little bit long at times, somewhat dull toward the end. No surprises. Still, I could stick with it to the end without too much will power. Usually, with this kind of movies, if I do watch them, I can be heavy on the fast forward control on the remote. Those evil glowing eggs are far from subtle. The movie could have worked as well without the glowing. The church looks derelict enough. (Here, I shall refrain from making a comparison with the real organization.) Once you've seen this flick, that's it. No more ever. Not that good.

In Paris, two workers find a hidden chamber while digging the underground of the Saint Jean André Church. They collect the valuable objects in the spot but they are attacked by a creature. Meanwhile, the discredited Professor Jack Randall (Eric Balfour), who wrote a book about Gargoyles rejected by the experts, is encouraged by his friend Carol Beckham (Tanya Clark) to peek the place out. They sneak in the site during the night and while Carol is collecting some artifacts, Jack is recording with his camera. Out of the blue, Jack sees a winged monster coming towards him and he flees from the location with Carol, but breaks his camera. They go to a bar and a huge stone falls over his car. Jack takes a cab to his boarding house and Carol is attacked and beheaded by a Gargoyle at her apartment. On the next morning, Jack identifies Carol's body and becomes the prime suspect of Inspector Gibert (Ifan Huw Dafydd) of several murders. Jack decides to seek out the reporter of a sensationalist newspaper, Nicole Ricard (Caroline Néron), and gives his tape to her cameraman Walsh (Justin Salinger). When Walsh recovers the badly shaped footage, he shows Nicole and they realize that Jack is not crazy and he had seen a Gargoyle indeed in the underground of the church. They decide to return to the church to investigate. "Rise of the Gargoyles" is a television movie with a non-original story, terrible screenplay, excessive use of clichés, reasonable acting and decent special effects. The greatest problem of the story is the limited budget that makes absurd that anyone in a crowded city like Paris does not see the Gargoyle attack. There are many flaws in the plot; for example, after the disappearance of Inspector Gibert, his investigation seems to be forgotten despite the great number of deaths in Paris. Another example, Jack never grieves the death of Carol. Father Gable using a rifle is also ridiculous. The good point is the gorgeous and talented Tanya Clark that I did not know but has a good, but short performance. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Filhos da Escuridão" ("Sons of the Darkness")

Cool CGI with this film since it's shot on video. The gargoyle grows a stone skin during daylight as camouflage and is affected by UV or simulated sunlight lamps. This makes it freeze in place but only if sunlight hits it. Otherwise, it reverts back in darkness. This turning to stone motif is exactly like Disney's Gargoyles cartoon (except Disney's stayed stone all day). This creature actually flies and bullets just nick the skin! Also Eric Balfour reminds me of David Naughton in "An American Werewolf in London". A pretty decent film shot entirely in Paris. This beast is vicious and shows no mercy with moves like a flyby decapitation. I like the underground tunnels and rooms of the egg nest (it's a female) and that they are ..."older than Rome".
