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

This exceptional movie will have me thinking for a long time. My brother in law has been diagnosed with Lewey Body dementia and this has given me insight into what my sister must be going through. Thank you for sharing your story through this film.

The horror that is illness and mortality is often not done well, but this is an exception. It’s a very moving film about the mental and physical decay of aging and also a very creepy movie about black mold and hostile houses that change shape.

Characters are intelligent and don't just create problems to drive the plot. It can be emotional but is not melodramatic. The movie is consistently creepy with a profoundly nightmarish climax.
