Review of The Relic (1997) by Adrian E — 19 Sep 2008
Not a bad monster movie in the least. The problem is this movie holds nothing even remotely as great as the good book that it's based on. And whats up with the monster in the movie being refered to as kothoga? In the book it was called Mubwen and the natives who created it were called the Kothoga people.
Another gripe is why the hell did they water down the scene were the creature takes out a S.W.A.T. team? They could have done a great chase scene were the kothoga runs after a S.W.A.T. guy through the museum.
The best animations of the creature were the awsome brief moments were it is seen running rendered in fluid CGI. Worth checking out for horro fans, but if you'r a fan of the book ypou may feel left out in the cold after seeing this film.
