Title: Knowing and Relic?
Post by: Gerbinist on June 25, 2009, 11:15:11 PM

Ok, I just finished watching Knowing, which is quite a nice movie: IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448011/).

During and especially at the end I got a Nerve Axis - Relic (http://ada.untergrund.net/showdemo.php?demoid=177) feeling to it.

After comparing, the resemblance is quite remarkable (both ending as storywise). Could it be that the writers of the script were influenced by the demo? ;)

Have a look at the YouTube versions if you're not planning to watch it anyway, it might contain some heavy spoilers:

Seriously, the Relic storyline is as unoriginal as it gets. So no, the movie was most definitely not even remotely inspired by the demo. They might both have the same influences though.

Jeah, storywise there might even be more movies with the same theory (influences).

The camera angle points at the end are almost identical though ;)
