The Relic Ratings & Reviews

August 30, 2025
This movie us fun and great for the time it was made. If you are a huge book fan you will be sad there will be no sequel. Also missing from the book was S.A.Pendergast. while I enjoyed the movie the time of the movie is one day and too much has to be incorporated to do the book true justice. That my friends would involve a mini series! It is a fun watch and Dr Margo Greene and D'Agosta do not disappoint! Super fun way to pass an evening.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
A surprisingly entertaining "monster-on-the-loose" picture set mostly in halls and private passageways of Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The story comes from a million other movies (mainly Jaws and Alien), and it's completely and totally predictable.
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
A slick, witty, and unexpectedly effective little genre throwback.
Variety
Emanuel Levy
Though based on an original and respected novel, Hyams' horror thriller comes across as a pastiche of the genre's conventions as evident in major pictures of the past two decades, such as Jaws and the first two Alien films.
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
A terrific monster movie with an edge. A bloody good time.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Gory as heck, but still well-crafted monster movie fun.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Monster runs through museum. Audience gets bored.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
All of this is actually a lot of fun, if you like special effects and gore.
USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
Gore seekers need only to know the body count is high and the scares are cheap as director Peter Hyams shares his beast's repellent disregard for human life.
