I heard your ex got custody of the dog...
A fun ride. This film is criminally underrated, it stands out as a textbook example of a creature feature done right. Tom Sizemore always does a very credible of playing an everyman and it is no different here. Penelope Ann Miller does a very credible job and, as usual, chews the scenery with her smile. I will say the story and execution is a very formulaic affair but that only adds to the charm of the film and makes it resemble a throwback to the horror flicks of the 40's and 50's. The only reason this film gets 4 stars is because the CGI was lacking. I think if they wanted to do this right they should have sunk more change into the effects. In the end it's a great flick and well worth your time and money :)

BOTTOM LINE: Is this film perfect? Nope. Is it a faithful word-for-word adaption of the novel? Not even close. Is it an entertaining, turn down the lights & jump at stuff that leaps out at you popcorn flick? Absolutely. Fans of the Preston & Child novel loathe the many changes but for mainstream monster movie fans this one’s bloody good. 4 STARS

THE STORY: Researcher from Chicago Museum of Natural History ships back a strange cargo from the deep Amazon jungle whose contents provide more questions than answers. A cute, quirky museum scientist & a hard-nosed Windy City homicide cop must quickly piece together the cryptic clues... before they’re ripped to pieces, along with the rest of the museum staff and half the ChiTown PD.

THOUGHTS: I’ve loved this movie ever since catching it in a snow-covered theater back in January of 1997. I knew nothing of the source material, only the film’s two stars: Tom Sizemore & Penelope Ann Miller. (Plus, I have a big soft spot for James Whitmore, ever since I first saw THEM! decades ago.) I enjoyed THE RELIC tremendously and I’ve watched it numerous times over the years. Fans of the novel have by & large torn this movie a new one, due to the many changes. I didn’t get around to actually reading the novel until almost 20 years later, after already having seen & enjoyed the film several times. It is indeed very different from the movie. However, if you divorce the film from the book you’ll be OK. Otherwise, you walk in with a massive chip on your shoulder and will probably just hate the movie to death. I think the film, for what it is, is a lot of silly, scary, rollercoaster ride-styled fun. Sure there are plot holes, gaps in logic and whatnot, but 99% of all horror films, by necessity, have these shortcomings. Movie viewers must maintain the ability to suspend disbelief and go with whatever preposterous flubdubbery the writers & directors are throwing at us. In the real world, these kinds of situations would almost certainly never be solved as quickly & efficiently as they are in the movies and on TV. In fact, these fantastical events obviously don't happen in the real world at all, so you have to take things at face value. Sure, this movie could've been better, but even as it is I think it's got a lot of great things going for it. And speaking of that… legendary creature F/X wizard Stan Winston gives us one of the coolest, most original movie monsters in decades. The Kathoga alone makes this film a keeper for me. The practical stuff looks amazing, and while the CGI isn’t as polished as today’s digital product his lethal Kathoga creation is nonetheless one of moviedom’s slickest killer creatures. Plus I really enjoy the performances of all the actors in the cast, from the main stars right down to the bit players.

THE BLU-RAY: A pretty pedestrian hi-def release from Lionsgate, who licensed the film from Paramount. The improvements in both audio & video, compared to the tepid DVD version of THE RELIC, more than make it worth the double dip. But be aware that there’s no new bonus material, just the on-camera interview with director Peter Hyams & his full-length audio commentary, both ported over from the standard-def release. Still, if you’ve never seen the film, this is the best looking format of it so far and, short of a frame-by-frame restoration, this is likely as good as we’ll get for this enjoyable creature feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mehr als "nur" ein ordentlicher Gruselfilm!
Reviewed in Germany on May 26, 2020

Im Hafen von New York wird ein Führerloses Transportschiff gefunden. Alle an Bord sind Tot und verstümmelt. Kurz danach treten im ortsansässigen Naturkundemuseum mysteriöse Vorfälle und Morde auf.
Irgendetwas ist mit dem Schiff nach New York gekommen und es ist hungrig...

Der Film „Das Relikt“ aus dem Jahr 1997, unter der Regie von Peter Hayms („Unternehmen Capricorn“, „Ein Richter sieht rot“, „ End of Days“...) ist ein sehr gelungener Gruselfilm. Ich würde hier nicht von einem reinen Horrorfilm sprechen. Für mich beinhaltet „Horror“ immer „Jumpscares“ und „Splatter“. Es geht hier zwar auch stellenweise brutal zu aber das macht diesen Film nicht aus. Peter Hayms sagte mal irgendwann, dass er eigene Erfahrungen aus seiner Kindheit mit der Geschichte von Douglas Preston und Lincoln Child, „Relic– Museum der Angst“, verbinden würde. Hayms war wohl als Kind mal über Nacht in einem Museum vergessen oder sonst irgenwie zurückgelassen worden. Quellen dafür, ob das der Wahrheit entspricht, hab ich leider nicht mehr aber ist (glaube ich ) auch nicht so wichtig und ich zumindest denke schon, dass es der Wahrheit zumindest nahe kommt...

In zunächst ruhigen Bildern und Kamerafahrten wird die Geschichte erzählt und diese Art den Film zu zeigen unterstützt hervorragend die unheimliche, bedrohliche Atmosphäre, die nach der Ankunft des Schiffes im Hafen, dann im Museum lauert.
Die Darstellung des Monstrums wird wohl dosiert, nur rudimentär eingesetzt. Das mag vielen sauer aufstoßen aber mich stört es jetzt nicht, da der gezeigte Rest -die Handlung halt- mich zumindest überzeugen kann. Klar, eine große, Oscarreife Geschichte sollte man nicht erwarten aber sie ist fesselnd und ich war doch gespannt, wie das Ganze wohl ausgeht.

Viele Negativrezensionen weisen darauf hin, dass das der Film zu stark vom Buch abweichen würde. Einige Charaktere wurden wohl gestrichen und der Hauptcharakter des Buches wurde durch einen mehr oder weniger häufig auftretenden Nebencharakter ersetzt. Da ich das nicht beurteilen kann (ich habe das Buch nicht gelesen) aber immer auch versuche eine Eigeninterpretation zu schätzen, geht dieser Aspekt nicht in meine Wertung mit ein -kann er ja auch gar nicht...

Das Bild ist DVD-scharf und im vorbildlichen 16:9 Format. Die wunderbare Musik umschmeichelt die Bilder und unterstützt gelungen die Atmosphäre. Die dargestellten Charaktere wirken sympathisch und die Schauspieler liefern eine überzeugende Performance ab.

Extras:
- Trailer: Hinweis auf die Illegalität von Raubkopien (startet nach einlegen der DVD),
Eigentrailer, Das Phantom der Oper, Alone in the Dark, Fargo, 12 Monkeys, Der Schakal
- Behind the scenes
- Besetzung/Stab
- Produktionsnotizen
- Ein DVD-Rom Part (nur mit PC möglich)
- Kapitelauswahl
- Deutsch / Englisch DD.5.1 + Untertitel + deutsche Untertitel für Hörgeschädigte

Fazit: „Das Relikt“ ist ein ordentlicher „Monsterfilm“. Das Ungeheuer wird zwar nur selten wirklich gezeigt aber die Handlung macht neugierig und hält „bei der Stange“. Die Darsteller sind super und auch alles andere hier weiß zu überzeugen.

Fünf Sterne für einen gelungenen Monster-Gruselfilm!
