The Terror Within Plot Synopsis:
It's the post-apocalypse, and the world has been changed by "the accident", a chemical warfare experiment gone awry. At an isolated subterranean complex, a group of people survived because they were able to get the antidote for the illness. They rescue a surface survivor from the gargoyles, who unfortunately had time to impregnate her, and when the "baby" is born and escapes into the ventilation ducts, they begin experiencing an attrition problem.
Thierry Notz"s The Terror Within (1989) had so much potential in this post-apocalyptic world where monsters resembling gargoyles search the landscape to kill and reproduce with human females. Andrew Stevens, Starr Andreeff, and George Kennedy star in The Terror Within.
