Relic Offical Trailer:
Emily Mortimer Plays kay a woman who's going back to her mother's house because she's very concerned about her health and well-being she brings along her daughter Sam Played by Bella Heathcote and she uncover something very dark and disturbing about her mother as well as the house this film is going to be compared to the babadook quite often both films deal with a similar subject matter a woman who's dealing with some kind of mental issue and it's manifesting itself in a physical way or in a way that can seem.
It's changing the environment around it it's an inspiration to Relic and although I wouldn't say that it in any way rips off the babadook. It's certainly the easiest way to explain this movie because relic is a movie that is going to split and divide some people I think that if you go into relic expecting a straightforward horror film with a ghost a demon or a monster you're going to be disappointed just as the people who watched the babadook who wanted to see a monster
jump out the shadows were disappointed relics story is far more metaphorical.
It's much more of an allegory we're watching an older woman whose mind is deteriorating and the environment around her is literally deteriorating and her granddaughter and daughter respectively are witnessing this and because of the personal attention to details
and the fact that this situation is very familiar. it feels all the more disturbing sometimes you do see something physical manifest itself in the house and you're wondering what that cloud be at least for the first act because the film does a good job of keeping what's going on a mystery for a while.
It has some side stories wondering if there's any connection there's a neighbor who says that they were locked in a closet in this house for a while and they can see scratch marks on the door inside that closet there's a lot of attention given to windows that were reinstalled from another place into this house and you're wondering if that brought something here if something has attached itself to this house but once you uncover what's was going on the film becomes more unsettling because like all good horror films the horror doesn't necessarily come from jump scares or sound effects or a terrifying image.
It's based around the characters you feel more afraid in horror if you care about the people you're watching because you care to feel fear fro them and in this film, I did care about these characters because I understood this scenario very well watching someone you love
lose their mind and Natalie Erika James finds clever ways to show these things
depicted on the screen physically how can you show an older woman losing she
might grab her family binder filled with photos and just fell the need to bury
it outside in this fit of rage that's a great idea and this movie is filled
with those Emily Mortimer is also fantastic in the movie as is Bella Heathcote
but the standout here is Robin Nevin as Edna she has moments where she's lucid
and she's able to speak to her daughter and granddaughter and she seems normal
and then she has these fits off range anger and sadness that is terrifying to
watch.
This is a brilliant actress, she does a fantastic job in the movie there's also a slow-building creeping horror during the first act that I found effective.
It's exactly the way I like first action-horror to be tons of unanswered questions you have no idea what's going on for a long time and like when if filmmaker respects the audience like that they'd let you go on a journey they let you have unanswered questions and they trust that you're not gonna shoot at the screen if you don't get those answers immediately but the film had a few
missteps for me is in the concept behind what this house and the things that are essentially tormenting this woman's mind and her daughter and granddaughter how they show that just how much power.
It has how much ability it has there are times where you see a shadowed silhouette from walking around following people and I thought that maybe overstepped the boundaries a few their rules that sort of make it seem all-powerful as it could just do anything there's a sequence where a hallway just keeps shrinking and shrinking and a woman who's trying to crawl through it just finds herself trapped in a dead-end I understand the meaning behind this sequence but one of the issues I had with it is that in the babadook, for instance, we know that this creature is basically the manifestation of this woman's grief and depression and it pretty much solely affects her wears in this movie.
