Review of The Relic (1997) by Alex R — 10 Feb 2014

A fantastically well crafted and genuinely scary monster film, the actual explaining of the (impressively realized) creature himself is rubbish, but the set pieces, action and scares are all top notch, plus there are strong performances across the board, especially from Tom Sizemore as an amusingly gruff cop and Penelope Anne Miller as a slightly too curious for her own good biologist.

A very underrated film, full of great effects and thrills galore, why it's not more heralded as the great little genre effort it is, is beyond me.
