IFC Midnight has released a trailer for the hit Sundance horror Relic. The film marks the feature debut for director Natalie Erika James and stars Emily Mortimer, Bella Heathcote, and Robyn Nevin as a family who are haunted by a sinister presence that begins to take control of its elderly matriarch; watch the trailer here…
When elderly mother Edna (Robyn Nevin) inexplicably vanishes, her daughter Kay (Emily Mortimer) and granddaughter Sam (Bella Heathcote) rush to their family’s decaying country home, finding clues of her increasing dementia scattered around the house in her absence. After Edna returns just as mysteriously as she disappeared, Kay’s concern that her mother seems unwilling or unable to say where she’s been clashes with Sam’s unabashed enthusiasm to have her grandma back. As Edna’s behavior turns increasingly volatile, both begin to sense that an insidious presence in the house might be taking control of her. All three generations of women are brought together through trauma and a powerful sense of strength and loyalty to face the ultimate fear together.
Relic is set for release on July 10th.
