What critics compared The Relic to
It should not be confused with The Relic , a fun, dumb 1997 creature feature.
El secreto de este éxito hay que buscarlo en la ausencia absoluta de cualquier ínfula de trascendencia y en su entregada apuesta por la peripecia "con monstruo", que nos remite (sin avergonzarse de ello) a gozosos terrores noventeros como Horizonte final (Paul W.S. Anderson, 1997), The Relic (Peter Hyams, 1997) o Deep Rising (Stephen Somers, 1998).
For me, that was the golden era of blockbuster monster movies: The Mummy, Deep Blue Sea, The Relic, and, yes, Jurassic Park.
Trevorrow indulges in dino-carnage and it’s closer in execution to Peter Hyams’ The Relic , Joe Dante’s Piranha or any monster nasty with Roger Corman’s fingerprints on it.

In this generically plotted outing, scripted once again by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (“The Relic”), the human race has been decimated by “simian flu” (not that again).
