Harpies

2007 · 89 min

A cheesy, fast-paced fantasy adventure that feels like a low-budget TV movie with campy monsters and earnest heroes.

Overview: Jason Avery is an ex-cop now working as a museum security guard. Armed thieves break in intent on stealing a priceless obelisk that's stored within this vault-like stone structure. The scientist behind the theft talks of the obelisk giving him the power to control harpies, demonic winged female monsters of classic mythology. Through a series of contrived events, the obelisk opens a time portal that Jason promptly falls into, crash landing over a thousand years in the past in a land threatened by evil harpies.
How it feels: Campy, absurd, tense and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, power, betrayal, loyalty
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
