Peter Hyam’s THE RELIC
(R, 1997, 110 min)
“They did the unthinkable. They brought it back.” As a major exhibition is about to open at a Chicago museum, a series of brutal murders throws everything into chaos. Detective Vincent D'Agosta (Tom Sizemore) and evolutionary biologist Dr. Margo Green (Penelope Ann Miller) team up to uncover the truth, only to discover a creature far older and more dangerous than they could imagine. With creature effects from Stan Winston Studios (the masterminds behind Jurassic Park and Terminator 2), The Relic is a wild, offbeat ride that perfectly balances horror, fantasy, and a whole lot of fun. Its mix of creature chaos, supernatural thrills, and ’90s energy has turned it into a cult classic—one that’s as entertaining as it is eerie.
