The Relic Reviews
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.
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.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
All of this is actually a lot of fun, if you like special effects and gore.
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
A slick, witty, and unexpectedly effective little genre throwback.
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
A terrific monster movie with an edge. A bloody good time.
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.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The story comes from a million other movies (mainly Jaws and Alien), and it's completely and totally predictable.
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.
