Agree 100% over here!

Love it, I still have my DVD copy and enjoy it every time. Along with Deep rising and Mimic, my favorite 90's monster movie.

"The Relic" was a GREAT movie!! My ONLY complaint with it, is that it's SO damn dark! You have to struggle to see ANYTHING in a LOT of the shots in this movie. If they had lightened it up some, so you could actually SEE what's going on in it, I would think it was pretty much close to perfection! GREAT review btw!!👍👍

Yes, this film is a gem with one of the most original creatures. Nothing beats a Creature Feature!

I saw this in theaters and let me tell you...Not having a clue what to expect this blew my mind...I remember this monster more than the girl I saw it with...smh lmao

LOL! I went into the movie the same way and was pleasantly surprised.

The Relic was a great movie that I saw in high school.

The film's constant usage of shadows and lighting with its cinematography really helps keep the viewer on edge, even after we see the monster in full view during the SWAT sequence. You know a monster movie is doing something right when its monster can still scare you even after you've seen the creature in the light.

I really loved this movie...a updated remake would be cool 👍

I remember seeing this in theaters when I was a kid, and I loved it! Great 90s monster thriller, and seeing it like 2-3 years ago brought it all back, still a fun one.

Love this movie. Truth Is IT could ve a little shorter. Its got almost 2 Hours, but i love this film. RIP Sizemore.

THANK YOU for spotlighting one of my all time favorite horror movies!

Hi Lance, man I missed your videos. I hope you're doing ok during these dark and confusing times, I really enjoyed your Black Sheep vid on Hollow Man. That film is one of my favorites that I finally saw at the age of 17 on TV, it's not perfect but a dang good watch. Knowing that you've been posting more here I decided to subscribe so I won't miss your next Black Sheep video, stay awesome and stay safe my man. 🙂 Oh btw The Relic deserves love as well, it's freaking creepy and awesome!

And respect for Penelope. She was the perfect counter to Sizemore. She was the brains and he was the brawn.

Saw this opening night in the theater. Great monster flick. Solid all the way through

I watched The Relic at the theater with my dad when I was 13. 10/10 badass monster movie.

Always enjoyed it and loved seeing Sizemore get a lead role. Even back then though the CGI fire during the final battle made me cringe.

Seeing Djimon Hounsou in that trailer snippet reminds me that I saw him as an extra in 1992's "Unlawful Entry"! He was a criminal in a police station; sitting on a bench, right next to Kurt Russell. He didn't say a thing, but he did laugh when Russell demanded a phone call. 8 years later he would co-star with Russell Crowe in "Gladiator". An actor's career can definitely be unpredictable in the very beginning!

My father and I saw this in theaters and I have been a fan/defender of this film ever since. If you want a fun thriller to read, the book is great also.

THE MOVIE WAS missing a very key character from the book it was based on.Named Aloysius pendergast.This was the first story with the character and is in at least 20 other books.By authors Preston and child.TOM Sizemore character is in several also,but is just pendergast back up.

To this day this movie still scares the absolute shit out of me.

I love Relic. I remember I did a review of it when I was a newspaper editor in college

I visited the Field Museum during that bat exhibit. It was a good exhibit.

I still watch this. A fun, scary monster flick. Plus it was set here in Chicago 🙂

I was 6 when my mom took me the theater to see this. I was terrified of this monster for years afterwards. When it came out on vhs we got a copy. I remember asking her to rent it from blockbuster all the time before we finally purchased our own copy. Long story short, as scary as it was I would try to watch it every other night with her😂

I remember seeing this film on TV once with my brother late one night some time around the mid 2000s. I rather enjoyed it.

The Relic is awesome.

I love the Relic, I have watched it many times.

My dad took me to the Friday opening back in 1997. And we both loved it and the love tom Sizemore as det. Degustia. And yes there are plenty of tunnels under the field museum of Chicago

The pothead security guard who got killed at the beginning of this movie was the same guy who got killed by the raptor at the beginning of Jurassic Park

I read the novel before the movie came out. Was a great book in the Jurassic Park vein.

I´ve been never been able to see the appeal of this movie.

My only complaint with the Relic is that it's often too dark, so it's way too hard to see what's happening. Oh, and it's a gigantic pain in the ass to get hold of. It's a really solid movie that doesn't get enough love.

Yeah I found it free with a prime subscription

I love the book! It's the first in the Pendergast Series which I would love to have adapted into a TV show or movie(Benedict Cumberbatch should play Agent Pendergast)

The movie played respect to the book it's based on. The Pendergast series is awesome!!

I've never forgotten about this movie. Its not the greatest of all time, but its pretty damn good. I think I was 9 or 10 when this came out on video and begged my mom to rent it. Now I think I watch it once a year to everyother year if possible. I read the book twice (once on ship deployment and another on tour in Afghanistan). And recently listened to the audible audio book. Still good. Book is very "Crichton novel Jurassic Park" and much more brutal than the movie.

This movie got me into the whole series of Pendergast by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I can see why Agent Pendergast was not in the movie as he really is not much of an influence in this and the direct sequel but he is missed. The Pendergast books are based on science but it does not get in the way of the story.

Another point is doesn't this movie seem like an X-Files episode stretched out in the movie length? Even the casting has that vibe

I have the OOP Blu-ray. Great 90 horror film.

RIP Tom Sizemore

I only saw this movie because it was always on during a weekend where they gave us free HBO AND Maxx. And I liked monster movies like Tremors, anaconda, jurassic Park (I was born 1987).i liked it. Lol. I thought it was cool. Scared me a lot.

2:05 thank god for that i thought youtube was fucking up, was like 'this video says the relic? dafuq?!'

Loved this flick

The book, by Preston and Child, was great and had a sequel called Reliquary. The movie is....ok.

I saw this movie on Netflix and def enjoyed it.

The Relic....LOVE IT!!!!!

I would have loved to see his transmutation from human into the Kathoga

Putting that prat DeNiro in there spoiled a cool video.

loved this movie

BIRD BOX WAS GREAT!! Best Lovecraftian horror movie!

This isn’t on iTunes, Amazon or Netflix but it’s on KZread in HD and as the publisher folded at some point in the past no one cares about copyright 😊

The lamp (1987) or I think it's called The outing in the states is a pretty cool obscure monster movie set in a museum, check it out :) It's not as cool as the Relic but it's still good for its time.

The Relic was a great flick a bit dark, the camera work I mean but that gave it it's charm and added suspence. And the book is just as damn good completely different but good. What's curious is the fact around thus era there are a lot of underated or unknown horror flicks that were great. Look at Wish Master for example. Speaking of The great Stan Winston you should do a video on a The Vindicator 1986 aka ( Frankenstien 88 ) with FX's done by Stan Winston it predates Robocop but essentially a Robocopish horror sci to flick cheesy but fun.

How sweet! Fresh Meat!* Ah yes, the intro which hooked me into this channel to begin with.. 😌

What movie was that throat cutting?

The Relic or Mimic ? To me its a toss up But I will say I prefer Mira over Penelope.

I always liked this one.

A quiet place 1-2was way better than Bird Box

Penelope Ann Miller was a stone-cold fox back in the 90s.

i LOVE this movie :)

i saw this movie in the theater when i was like 16 or something...went with a few friends and we all dosed a few hits of L before goin in...we pissed off alot of ppl laughing at the entire thing...dont recall why it was so damn funny, but the lil old museum lady caught alot of flak

Although I liked this movie it is just too dark. I always feel like a good chunck of the scenes are just a blank black screen and audio drama is playing.

This video feels a bit sloppy. No mention that "The Relic" is part of Douglas Preston's "Pendergast" book series.

What movie is this 5:13 ?? The military movie?

Saw this in a theatre.. The movie is so dark. As in you can not see anything.

The book was geniuiny scary

I enjoyed the film, but the exclusion of Pendergast was pretty disappointing. Still hoping for a TV series someday.

i honestly can't tell if i've seen this already or not lmao it's one of those movies

The Relic is definitely one of my favorite monster movies. Still fun even today

No I know why I haven't seen one of your videos lately. Didn't know about the channel change.

How does a cargo ship travel from South America to Chicago? Don't know! Doesn't matter

This movie was based on an excellent book by the same name (written by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child)....well almost. The book title is "Relic". No "the".....I was disappointed there was no mention of the book...

I hated it with all my heart. I went to the cinema after reading the book that was fantastic and I felt insulted. The protagonist of the book is removed for the movie, making it almost nonsensical. Also the book was more like a thriller, you did not discover who was the monster until the end and the monster was not that giant thing but an human with some enhanced abilities that was turning more and more monstruous as the story progressed.

I was recommended the book but was recommended against the movie, and I'm sorry I watched the movie. What a piece of flaming trash. Why do people on KZread love it so much?

Never seen the relic

If you’re watching “The Relic” for the gore, yeah, you’ll get your dose and the effects largely hold up. If you had hoped for a story that could compliment or reflect the fantastic novel on which it’s based, you’ll be out of luck. The monster design is completely wrong and makes no sense as for how it moves around undetected for so long. A single viewing burned itself into my brain as one timeless example of lazy screen writing. This tops my list of “bad movies in need of a remake”.

John Krasinski only cares about money, so OF COURSE we're getting another quiet place. Cha ching

Tom Sizemore didn't get any other good parts because of his completely devastating addiction. One that he still seems to be battling. He could have had a really good career and he had a pretty good one for what he was dealing with but there's an obvious reason he didn't get as many good parts as he should have

It's definitely way too dark. Have you ever seen Alien vs Predator Requim? That film is even darker.

I would like to know why everyone gives alone in the dark such crap when Tumi Relic is similar to these two movies to me are alike but people seem to trash alone in the dark but they dig Relic I myself like both alone in the dark part two not so much just my opinion but yeah they give it so much crap into me both movies are up there in the action and similar monsters somewhat I guess crazy

Why go through the trouble of buying the rights of a great book and gutting everything that made it work? I went in expecting a halfway faithful adaptation but instead got a generic, boring monster movie. Cutting out Pendergast was idiotic. I never understood that decision p.

A giant monster that only eats a small part of your brain, New York accents in Chicago, meandering scenes and dumb characters... of course everyone loves it.

Timecop is nothing like Looper. Timecop is like War and Peace, Looper is like 365 Days. Meaning classic and some cheap popular trash respectevly.

the book was better
