I have been looking forward to Natalie Erika James' feature directorial debut RELIC ever since I first heard about it, and now my interest in this movie has gotten a boost by seeing how creepy and atmospheric the new trailer is. The trailer is embedded above.
IFC Midnight will be giving RELIC a theatrical and VOD/Digital release on July 10th.
James wrote the screenplay with Christian White, crafting the following story:
When elderly mother Edna inexplicably vanishes, her daughter Kay and granddaughter Sam rush to their 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. All three generations of women are brought together through trauma and a powerful sense of strength and loyalty to face the ultimate fear together.
Emily Mortimer, Bella Heathcote, and Robyn Nevin star.
Jake Gyllenhaal produced RELIC with Anna McLeish, Sarah Shaw, and Riva Marker. Joe and Anthony Russo, the directing duo behind AVENGERS: ENDGAME, served as executive producers with Mike Larocca, Todd Makurath, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, and Hu Junyi.
