How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

A bunch of young folks are hired to help open an aviation museum on an old closed U.S. military airbase. They find themselves being terrorized by an ancient evil spirit that they accidentally unleash. Director J. Christian Ingvordsen and screenwriter Matthew M. Howe trot out all the usual endearingly creaky old school retro 80's knifekill clichés: Hokey fake scares, a vicious and mysterious masked maniac, a couple of obvious creepy red herring characters, a handy helping of graphic gore, the inevitable have sex and die routine, and a generous amount of yummy gratuitous female nudity (seven bare breasts in total!). Moreover, Ingvordsen relates the familiar, yet still enjoyable story at a steady pace, makes good use of the sprawling location, and concludes the picture on a surprisingly bleak and nihilistic note. Billy Drago deliciously hams it up as batty curator Hank. Ubiquitous seasoned scream queen Debbie Rochon provides a winning blend of sass and spirit as the sarcastic Corey. Delectably buxom brunette knockout Caitlin Sabins supplies the best and most succulent undraped skin as the kinky Alison. In addition, there are solid contributions from Joshua Park as the amiable Dan, Jennifer Lauren Grant as the perky Teri Jablonski, Kelly Ray as the spunky Rachel, and Jon Christian as morose war veteran Hank. The revelation of the killer's identity is a genuine surprise. Howe's crisp cinematography gives the movie a pleasingly polished look. Timo Elliston's shivery score hits the shuddery spot. Recommended viewing for slice'n'dice fans.

A good story and above average acting in Blood Relic. You can never go wrong when Debbie Rochon is in a movie! I'm a Billy Drago fan too but considering the very short amount of time he's on the screen I wonder why he gets top billing and an Associate Producer credit. Debbie and Jen Lauren Grant should have top billing. The other actors were good too. There's a nice amount of gratuitous nudity which you have to have in these type of movies. The sound was annoying. One second I'm turning it up to hear the dialog a second later music plays or another sound comes up and blows out my ear drums. It looked like they had a great time making this movie and that translated well for me. See if you notice something you rarely see in horror movies at the end. I noticed it quickly and said I'll be damned.

In 1983, the aviator Hank (John Christian) kills three sailors in a military airbase while wearing a voodoo talisman that he found in a mission in Granada. He hides the object in an electrical box and twenty-two years later, he is released from the asylum where he had been hosted considered mentally sane again. Meanwhile, the former base is transformed in an aviation museum owned by the idealistic Harry (Billy Drago), who is facing financial difficulties to keep the establishment working and problems with his partner and brother. When one of the workers finds the weird hidden artifact, she gives it to Harry. In the end of the working day, the group of co-workers decides to meet each other after 10:00 PM for a séance followed by sex, gamble and beer. When two couples vanish, the others decide to seek them and find them killed. Sooner they meet Hank that tells the survivors that the talisman unleashes a fiend that possesses the person that is wearing the necklace, forcing the owner to kill people with sadism. The group joins forces trying to find a way out of the museum while Hank chases the killer."Blood Relic" is an average slasher low-budget movie, with all the common clichés of the genre including many breasts, exits closed, silly lines and stupid decisions. However, most of the deaths are original and there is a great twist in the end when the identity of the real killer is disclosed (I confess that it was a good surprise for me and totally unpredictable). The acting is not as bad as indicated in some reviews, in spite of the exaggeration of Billy Drago and the incoherent and frantic attitudes of Joshua Park. In the end, as a fan of the genre, I had fun with this movie. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Maldição Voodoo" ("Voodoo Curse")

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.
