If you loved Sphere, try The Relic
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Relic has roughly 3.0× fewer votes than Sphere — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Mystery / Science Fiction / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sphere, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Relic is
Chicago, winter. A crate from Brazil. Soon, a security guard's torso is all that remains, and a scientist sees patterns in the carnage. The museum is shut tight before it can open. Peter Hyams does not stint on creature-feature mayhem.
