Blood Relic

Everything you desire in an 80's slasher movie is here. And what elevates Blood Relic somewhat, is the unique location used, which certainly beats the cheap storage garage sets many low budget films use today. Also two of my personal favorites, Debbie Rochon, and Billy Drago are involved. Sadly Debbie is not the star, but her scenes are still beneficial to the film. And for my money, Billy Drago can be in the most lousy piece of trash film imaginable, and still deliver an engrossing villainous performance. The kill scenes were solid here, and the ladies shed there clothes often. Ingvordsen has finally got a grasp on what fans of this genre enjoy, after his watchable, yet almost pg level Bog Creatures. In the end this is an above average throwback, with a unique setting, and the required horror goodies.

For myself a B-Movie I generally would not watch twice. but I would this one back on. This movie was pretty cheesy, but it was entertaining. The story was OK... not very original... But.. There were no plot holes... Which I believe is probably the most important aspect in telling a story.. (Weather its good or not...)

The acting was OK at best. The woman in this flick are very attractive. (Which was helpful) There was enough nudity and comedy to justify this movie being truly a traditional slasher flick.

There isn't really a whole lot one can do in making a horror movie that doesn't at least remind you of another horror movie you've seen. In that respect, Blood Relic is no different.

There's not enough time spent showing how all these folks who know each other actually know each other, or why those who DON'T know the others are there in the first place.

Some films talk too long about integral parts of the movie, but Blood Relic just slaps the main inanimate character in, expects you to believe it, and then tries half heartedly about halfway through to explain where it came from.

A few gratuitous partial nudity shots for no apparent reason, some excess blood from small wounds and not enough from large ones, and a few other shortcomings detracted from the whole movie.

My main complaint is that the characters aren't explained or developed at all. After each character's fatal meeting with the bad guy(s), you're generally left thinking "Awww, and I hardly even knew that one, either." I had no problem with the movie though. As someone who takes every opportunity available to watch what others routinely refer to as 'bad' movies, I'd give it a five (or even better) because it had a little of the horror, blood, screeching, running around senselessly, etc. that I've come to love in my movie fare.

And another feature to this flick... Do you simply LOVE a freaky ending? I like unexpected twists, as long as they're plausible. The ending of Blood Relic is...

Something you'll just have to see for yourself!

This movie is awful. It pained me to watch it. Every actor, director, producer and anyone with even the smallest role in any aspect of this film should be barred from the genre indefinitely.

This film is so bad there aren't strong enough words in the English language apt to describe. I'll just spit on the ground instead.

Your movie is awful and you should feel bad. Scrappy Doo is a better experience. I would rather rip my arm off and f@@@ myself with my dead limb than get anywhere near it again. I would rather eat glass than see any of these actors ever again. I would rather jump in a river full of piranna than meet the director.

Blood Relic (2005) is another in a long line of terrible straight-to-video movies. Some are fun but most of them are dreadful and unwatchable. This is one of those that need to be not seen and never heard from. The only reason that I didn't give this movie a straight zero was that low budget movie queen Debbie Rochon was in the picture and she was hot to look at. Other than that I wouldn't give it the time of day. Billy Drago looks like he drank all of his money. He could barely stand up and all he did was mumble his badly written dialog. He tries to come off like Udo Kier. But Udo's cool and he can still deliver a performance. Billy Drago was just too painful to watch. A bad movie all around that doesn't warrant a further look.

Stay away, not recommended.
