Natalie Erika James’ haunted house film Relic was near the top of our list of movies to play in 2020, but regretfully never made it to the big screen here. As part of Lost Films Of Covid series, we are finally able to make good on that idea!

When a daughter and granddaughter return to their family home to care for an aging matriarch, they discover that the real terror isn’t what lurks in the walls—it’s what’s slipping away inside them.

Anchored by powerful performances from Emily Mortimer, Robyn Nevin, and Bella Heathcote, Relic turns decay and dementia into a slow, aching metaphor for inheritance and love. Five years later after its initial release, it stands as one of the most affecting horror films of its era.

Thank you to our friends at Filmbot for their support in presenting this amazing series.
