Relic’s trailer give a sneam into the slow-burn horror-thriller that tries to tell a layered story using means which are not always supernatural in nature.
The trailer of Relic starring Emily Mortimer is out. It is a haunted house movie which also stars Robyn Nevin and Bella Heathcote. Japanese-Australian filmmaker and screenwriter Natalie Erika James has directed this movie in her debut and James and Christian White have penned the screenplay
The film is about a sinister supernatural presence that is behind the haunting of a remote house inhabited by a family matriarch Edna (Robyn Nevin). She goes missing, and her daughter Kay (Emily Mortimer) and granddaughter Sam (Bella Heathcote) arrive to find her.
The trailer of the film suggests this horror-thriller tries to share a layered story using means which are not always supernatural in nature. Ghosts are most definitely scary, but a few rare films bring out the bona fide sense of terror that leaves us asking for more even when the film is over. Things such as isolation, loneliness, grief, alienation and so on are way more frightening anything that imagination can conjure.
Relic is not just depending on using jump scares. It seems to build the tempo slowly but surely à la Hereditary and Babadook.
