Product Description

A true sword and sorcery epic, Attack of the Gryphon, chronicles the story of two kingdoms brought together in their quest to defeat the Gryphon and the evil Sorcerer who controls him. Long ago, a feud between princely brothers Delphus and Lock tore the once great kingdom of Vallon in two. Centuries later the warring kingdoms of Delphi and Lockland remain embroiled in perpetual battle. On the eve of Lockland's destruction, the Lockland King orders his Sorcerer to raise the Gryphon against his enemies. The plan is a success until the Sorcerer commands the Gryphon turn on Lockland in an effort to bring both kingdoms under his evil authority.

4.0 out of 5 stars A promising film, with a few major weak points.., June 17, 2007

By	Matthew R. Olson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had wondered what this film was - and I was impressed with it to a small degree. The production is that of a school play, with the strength of the film majorly on the good characters, especially Amber Benson's character.

I was rather removed from the idea of the villain and his cronies - Nobody on the opposing side seemed believable, until they tried to thrawt the heroes, usually right in front of them. The major character of the story, the mystical gryphon, doesn't feel really like it belongs in the film - it's not alive in the scene, it looks like it was animated and composed into the scene without a touch of realism.

Condering the production was produced for the SCIFI Channel, the film is low-budget. However, I didn't consider the film "bad", but "cheesy", and it does deserve some attention. My best advice - Be an Amber fan, that way you won't be offended, and throw twenty dollars down the drain.

I enjoy fantasy movies, and dragons, or gryphons in this movie, are always of interest, epsecially when their presence in the story is central to the action. I guess I've got used to the high quality Hollywood or British FX seen in so many movies recently, that this one came as a real disappointment. From the end credits I believe an east european company were responsible, although I could be wrong. Whoever they are, or wherever they are based, I'm sorry to write that their efforts marred what was otherwise a well thought out story. I am particularly sorry because this movie cast Amber Benson, an actress whose work I always admire, in an action hero role, and she was particularly good at the cut and thrust of the sword and sorcery story. I was pleased that she had this opportunity to shine, just sorry that the FX marred the end result.
