58 of 58 · most liked firstIt's #LetterboxdFriday! Of these movies I would recommend Natural Born Killers. I still find the nihilism of society pretty chilling. If you aren't into watching a bit of the ol' ultraviolence I don't know what I got here for you. The Relic wasn't bad, but it was splashy #LastFourWatched

neutral · AI labelView post →Finally read Relic by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. The book one of my favorite horror movies is based on. Little sad the book takes place in NYC instead of Chicago, like the film, and wild the film didnt have Pendergast in it, but I really dug this book regardless. Highly recommend #booksky

neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking about Relic (2020) again. That movie has stuck with me for a long time. Its ending is one of the most poignant horror movie endings I've ever seen. I think about my own grandmother, and my mother, and what she felt when my grandmother was nearing the end of her life.

neutral · AI labelView post →bill smithback is another fave of mine and he was totally written out of the movie so i can't be bothered with it HOWEVER versions of both the book and the movie exist in-universe, and the thought of him writing Relic, getting a movie deal for it, and then getting written out is fucking hilarious
neutral · AI labelView post →I like a mix of psychological dread and moodiness to create a scary movie, but I don't like movies that rely solely on jumpscare, and I also avoid movies that are more likely to ruin my day after I watch them (Relic just destroyed me)
negative · AI labelView post →My mum was watching Elizabeth Is Missing today, which made me think of Relic - too scary to watch again, but I thought it was a very striking haunted-house film about dementia, and quite moving in the end re shifting beyond horror to acceptance of our shared vulnerability.
positive · AI labelView post →Peter Hyams is also really great for this, though I've yet to see a good transfer of THE RELIC where that film doesn't look like murky shit. But OUTLAND and END OF DAYS look just great, and they're pretty dark movies.

positive · AI labelView post →I like horror but as someone who grew up in Chicago I was a sucker for a Chicago movie. So the movie Relic was a cross-section of a few interest. Can't explain why it took me so long to go to the source material but I'm glad I found this series.

The night before my first ever research trip to The Field I made the mistake of watching the late-night showing of The Relic on SyFy. Every sound in the mammal collections room had me on edge.

neutral · AI labelView post →We're watching The Relic. A fun creature feature with a great Stan Winston designs. But it's also one of the worst examples of adapting a book. Why? Because someone involved in the film decided there were too many characters so they cut... the protagonist who went on to star like 20+ bestsellers.

neutral · AI labelView post →YEAHHH THE CAVE I get that The Descent is a better *film*, with like themes and such, but good gooey goddamn I adore the creatures of The Cave one million times more. Another film like The Relic (1997) where a mid-ass movie is elevated by fucking phenomenal creature design.

positive · AI labelView post →Wicked creepy intro, so much wrong with the scene, emotionally and physically. We have a situation we're dealing with s the story begins to develop, and I'm unsure of the status of a main character. The atmosphere at the place is off, and hard to describe, but off nonetheless. This place just gets weirder and wider, and it now seems that something is truly off with the property that our characters are inhabiting at the moment. This has turned into a nightmare scenario for our supporting…
