Video Review – Relic (2020)

July 6, 2020 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno reviews Natalie Erika James’ debut horror film Relic…

Not too often does a first-time filmmaker just own their style and brand so quickly, but Natalie Erika James does just that with Relic. Join our host and critic EJ Moreno as he reviews the new horror film, a piece he claims is one of the very best of 2020. With three brilliant acting performances, artful filmmaking, and powerful direction, Relic is hailed a must-see for any horror fan.

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.
