Relic
Directed by Natalie Erika James
When elderly mother Edna, inexplicably vanishes, her daughter Kay and granddaughter Sam 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 causes both to sense that an insidious presence in the house might be taking control of her.
A mother and granddaughter sense an insidious presence is taking hold in this celebrated and unsettling psychological horror.
Cast: Emily Mortimer, Bella Heathcote, Robyn Nevin

With nothing but three actors, a set consisting of a small house with broken floor boards, and lots of doors, I bit my nails through the entire movie. The ending with the family on the bed had me in tears. The mother would not let what had been done to her great grandfather be done to her mother. Superb!
Solid film, I give it 4 and 1/2 stars. Great acting and creepy as hell. Definitely recommend!
This is my second time watching this movie. It's actually an excellent movie and not too difficult to follow if you have seen what alzheimer's can do. If you can't associate the disease with the metaphors you will probably wonder wtf you just watched.
Good, but a little bit more background would've helped.
I liked it a lot. Definitely had chills on my arms multiple times and the slow burn was the perfect speed. At first I wasn’t sure about the ending but the more I think about it the more I think it fits with the plot. Overall solid 4 skulls man.
