The Relic - 1993
Come in - if you dare. The opening-night gala for a new exhibit at Chicago's natural history museum is under way. But be advised: something terrifying wants to make sure no one ever leaves.
Penelope Ann Miller, Tom Sizemore, Linda Hunt and James Whitmore star in this effects-packed shocker that gives haunted-house movies a terrific new setting. And the non-human star (brought to head-ripping life by Jurassic Park Oscar winner Stan Winston) is something no creature fan can let slip by.
This horror movie is well written, strange i don't hear more about it. I found it in a pawn shop and fell in love with the plot the first time i watched it. The premise is eerily possible, and really kinda freaked me out for a little while. Acting was great, plot good, and it has an original premise. What i liked was the gore was not a focus really, and the suspense well placed. In the spirit of old, you don't see the antagonist except for quick little glimpses until the end of the movie. But when you do look out monster lovers, the movie jacket didn't lie, it is a REALLY cool creation. Great movie for a scare and there is some humor folded in too. overall i rate this flick 4 out of 5 tankards.
