Relic

Bring Home the Critically Acclaimed Gothic Thriller
November 17, 2020 from Scream Factory

Layered with atmospheric dread, first-time writer/director Natalie Erika James crafts an unforgettable new spin on the haunted house movie with Relic. Starring Emily Mortimer (Mary Poppins Returns, The Newsroom) , Robyn Nevin (The Matrix Reloaded, Top of the Lake), and Bella Heathcote (Fifty Shades Darker, The Neon Demon), this dramatic psychological thriller makes its Blu-ray and DVD debut November 17, 2020 from Scream Factory, in conjunction with IFC Midnight.

When elderly mother Edna inexplicably vanishes, her daughter Kay and granddaughter Sam rush to the 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 clashes with Sam’s unabashed enthusiasm to have her grandma back. As Edna’s behavior turns increasingly volatile, both begin to sense that an insidious presence in the house might be taking control of her.
