Basilisk: The Serpent King
An eclipse awakens an ancient monster whose gaze turns flesh into stone.
Directed by Stephen Furst
Produced by Sci Fi Pictures, BUFO
A creature-feature action-horror film centered on an ancient petrifying monster awakened by eclipse, driven by survival and spectacle rather than depth or character.
Two millennia ago, a Lybian king has a basilisk (snake-shaped dragon), which petrifies people, subjected to the same fate with a golden scepter during a solar eclipse. Both these and several victims are dug up by modern archaeologist Harrison 'Harry' McColl's expedition. Despite a cryptic warning from tribal locals, everything goes to his Colorado university's museum. It's all exhibited during another eclipse, which leads to the monster reviving. Harry and some of his friends must try to petrify the monster again.
