The Relic attacks Blu-ray...


Peter Hyams 1997 monster movie The Relic, starring James Whitmore, Penelope Ann Miller and Tom Sizemore, is coming to Blu-ray April 6th, courtesy of Lionsgate! The DVD will include an audio commentary with director Peter Hyams, an interview with Peter Hyams and the theatrical trailer...

From Charles P. Mitchell's The complete H.P. Lovecraft filmography:
A rare plant is plant is used by a South American tribe to recreate their legendary avenging god, Kathoga (inspired in part by August Derleth's Old One, Cthugha.) In revenge for plunder, the natives ensure that Kathoga is sent to the Chicago Natural History Museum, where it grows, mutates and unleashes a killing spree...

  1. This didn't look too bad in the theaters, but Hyams was responsible for making it perhaps the murkiest (intentional) DVD ever produced. Apparently, he's doing a commentary for the Blu-Ray - I hope to heavens he's either learned to 'lighten up' or TPTB keep him well away from the transfer process...
