Relic
dir. Natalie Erika James · 2020
The experience of being alive is often marked by the struggle to confront and understand the inevitable decline of memory and identity.
"Relic" masterfully intertwines the horrors of dementia with the haunting decay of familial ties, creating a chilling exploration of memory and loss that lingers long after the credits roll. This psychological horror film invites viewers into a world where the familiar becomes terrifying, and the past is a ghost that refuses to be exorcised.
When elderly mother Edna inexplicably vanishes, her daughter rushes to the family's decaying home, finding clues of her increasing dementia scattered around the house in her absence.
