It's awesome! And it brings back memories of late night horror/sci-fi at sleepovers when I was a teen.

I read the book and saw this when it first came out, and it is still a good thriller/action/monster movie. Worth your time. Warning a little dark on the lighting sometimes.

I remember watching and loving this movie when i was younger but was a little apprehensive re watching it now that I am older as quite a few monster movies don't hold up years later. But found myself still enjoying it as much. Sure the acting is a little hokey but otherwise I enjoyed it

Awesome little monster movie. I have no idea how this wasn't bigger when it came out. It's a cool concept, with a different kind of monster in a claustrophobic setting. Impressive effects for when it came out.

"The Relic" is a tough one to grade. On the one hand it's a decent story about a creature brought back from an expedition to Brazil. I won't give away the coolest part of the movie, but when Dr. Margo Green (Penelope Ann Miller) says "I know ___ you are...", it makes a lot of the not so good momen More

More than a little genuinely funny dialogue, and I think the creature had a pretty cool design... I'm pretty sure? I don't know though, because every time it appears it's in virtually complete darkness.

_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

Pot's a misdemeanour. Decapitation seems a bit severe.

The Relic is directed by Peter Hyams (also cinematographer) and based on the best-selling novel written by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. The film stars Tom Sizemore, Penelope Ann Miller, James Whitmore and Linda Hunt. The music score is More
