The Relic (1997)
6/10

The monster movie bites back in this suspenseful thriller. All the elements are there fore the build up. Artefacts are brought from South America which unbeknown are carrying ancient religious powers. Its a cliché from other films including th e start of 'Exorcist' but here its done beautifully.

With the archaeological find now in Chicago and no one getting suspicious by the dead bodies that came with it- they can't be too bright otherwise they would dump the find in the harbour and that would be the end of the film.

Politics overrules those that start to worry that they may be dealing with something more that what appears to be on the surface. And then all hell does break loose.

Relic is a good introducing to suspenseful films for those that don't normally see them.
