Attack of the Gryphon (2007) NR - 2½ Stars

Well, the gryphon was not the worst animation job when the bird was flying through the sky but, it certainly was crap when shown up close. Take a look below. The acting all around is cheesy and weak but the location in Romania where the film was made, kept my interest to make it through the movie.

Lockland's King, Phillip (Adrian Pintea) is in conflict with the rival kingdom of Delphi. This is not a new war, but an ongoing war of over 300 years. In a desperate attempt to save his kingdom, King Phillip looks to a sorcerer named Armand (Larry Drake) to protect the land. Armand uses his powers and the blood of King Phillip, to bring a statue of a great gryphon to life. It is hoped the gryphon will protect Lockland and attack Delphi. But things don't always go according to plans and the great gryphon reeks havoc on both kingdoms instead.

Princess Amelia of Lockland (Amber Benson) steps in to save her fathers legacy and must convince Prince Seth of Delphi (Jonathan LaPaglia) to join together to fight and destroy the gryphon.
