Relic

Okay! The parallel world behind the walls was interesting and unnerving.

Absurd. One of the worst pieces of gibberish I've ever seen.

Everything happens in the last 20 min

I hate lazy endings. Especially when the movie is constantly in need of an explanation.

Natalie Erika James "Relic" absolutely one of my favourite horrors in recent years. With three strong leading performances & the way it uses a hereditary illness like Dementia within it's elements of horror is genuinely creepy & atmospheric. A personal terrifying experience as you watch familiar surroundings & memories twist & crumble away.

Unrelenting in it's feeling of dread, it smartly weaves a metaphor that you have to see to understand. Can be numbingly bleak though and when it finished I couldn't help but feel resounding sadness. Though in saying this I think it's the very point.

**** some spoilers ***** So I think this movie was supposed to be a really creepy devastating take on aging and its effects, but it just didn't ring home unfortunately! It left a lot of un-answered questions for me that were important, like what the hell was that random dimension the daughter got stuck in! And what was that shadow that kept following her!!!? And I thought there was going to be a massive revolution at the end that all the characters were her but at different life points…. But no, that would have been epic if they did that! Had the potential to be a good movie I think but the lack of clarity and resolution ruined it as a viewer in my opinion I wouldn't waste your time. My review is 3/10 #movie #moviereview #relic #prime

The metaphor is a little too heavy handed but there's real power to a lot of the imagery especially in the finale where the house becomes an endless maze of moldy hallways and walls within walls.

I absolutely knew this would get a great critic score and a 'meh' audience score. It's a decent dementia story that does a good job of illustrating the horrors or that awful condition. Of course, it's not an outright horror, so if that's your bag, don't bother. It's slow, atmospheric, pretty creepy in places and, overall, a decent watch. And the cast were all excellent.

What in the world did I just watch. It started off solid and then just descended into a series of "wtf?" with no satisfactory conclusion. Pick a different movie to watch on your night off
