Review of Blood Relic (2005) by David T — 16 Apr 2014

While this movie isn't a total waste of time, I did find it to be a bit blatant in it's overall misogyny, which brings my rating down by a star. A not-so-terrible script and adequate acting are wasted by slow pacing, weak special effects and completely needless overt sexuality.

We get it, filmmakers.. you had no real faith in the substance of your film, so you felt you had to tack on endless shots of female flesh in order to give us viewers what you think we look for first and foremost in a horror film.

Try again. And when you show every female character get graphically butchered for prolonged periods of time, yet you shy away from seeing any of the blood and gore in the males' quick and painless deaths, one has to question your motives as a human being in general, and wonder what kind of deep seated woman-hating issues you have bottled up inside of you like a shaken Dr.

Pepper.
