Mortimer, Nevin and Heathcote are all excellent here, and the fractured relationship between the women is laid out in a manner as ambiguous as the nature of Edna's mental state. Read more

There’s not a lot of depth to this story. But James doesn’t shy away from the ugliness, guilt, anger or grief that fuel relationships tied up in this particularly painful genealogical horror. With its evocative analogy, Relic shows us what we are really afraid of, and it isn’t ghosts. Read more

Relic is in de basis gewoon een vrij traditionele horrorfilm, die enkel in zijn uitvoering opvallend timide blijkt. Read more
