What happens when a museum expedition uncovers a terrifying creature lurking beneath the surface? In this episode of So I Married a Film Critic, we're digging into The Relic (1997), a sci-fi horror movie that brings monster-movie mayhem to the halls of Chicago's Field Museum.
Starring Penelope Ann Miller and Tom Sizemore, this 1990s creature feature blends horror, science fiction, mystery, and suspense as a deadly creature begins hunting inside the museum. We’re talking creepy museum corridors, scientific experiments gone wrong, gruesome discoveries, and a monster that makes a museum sleepover sound like a terrible idea.
Does this forgotten monster movie still hold up? We discuss the "science" behind this film and how it stops the action, why Julia wanted more of a love story, and the creepy under-lit nature of the cinematography.
