Relic is a spare, unnerving Australian horror directed by Natalie Erika James that follows three generations of women who confront a decaying family home that seems to embody their memories and fears. When the elderly grandmother disappears, her daughter and granddaughter return to the house to search for her, only to discover a room that distorts space, time, and identity as dementia, guilt, and grief seep into the walls. The film merges intimate drama with creeping dread into a haunting, unforgettable nightmare.
