"The Relic" released 1997


Director Peter Hyams horror movie The Relic was released January 10, 1997, based on a novel by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.  I enjoyed it because it was rather sciencey and, in the end, chemistry saves the day!

It starred Penelope Ann Miller, Linda Hunt and James Whitmore.  Audra Lindley (Mrs. Roper from Three's Company) plays a scene-stealing forensic pathologist in her last feature film. 

The Relic opened at #1 at the box office the weekend it was released, and although it got mostly so-so reviews, Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel both gave it a 'thumbs-up'!
