Harpies, a SCI FI Pictures original movie—tells the story of Jason Avery, a security guard at the Museum of Natural History in New York, which is the home of an ornate chalice with intricate carvings of female winged monsters called harpies. During the night gunmen break in and the chalice is knocked to the ground. Jason picks it up, and as the lid falls off, a terrifying shrieking noise echoes as he is sucked into the chalice. Jason is thrown back in time to the Dark Ages, where a village is being terrorized by hideous, flying harpy creatures that slash at their enemies with fangs and claws. Jason must fight his way back to the 21st century by seeking out the chalice, which is the key to the time portal and his only way home.
