Gargoyle

About This Movie

Gargoyle is an interesting entry in the indie horror scene. The film dives into the psyche of a young man navigating a breakup, and it’s set against the backdrop of his unsettling new apartment. The atmosphere is thick with tension; there’s a creeping dread that builds slowly, which I appreciate. The pacing is deliberate, letting those quiet moments linger. I have to say, the practical effects are a standout—there’s something about them that feels more authentic than CGI. Performances are decent, especially the lead, who captures that lost feeling well. It's distinct in how it merges human emotion with supernatural elements, creating a kind of relatable horror that feels a bit fresh.

Explores themes of isolation and grief.Interesting practical effects for its budget.A more character-driven approach to horror.
