DESCRIPTION: (from Sci Fi's web site) An ancient serpent statue comes to life during an eclipse and turns into the mythical, terrifying Basilisk — a creature that can turn its victims to stone with its gaze. While archeologists try to help the military destroy it, a wily lady thief (Yancy Butler, Witchblade) steals the ancient scepter that controls the creature. Jeremy London (7th Heaven, Party of Five), Cleavant Derricks (Sliders) and Stephen Furst (Babylon 5) also star.
