A haunting study of Grecian prophecies and inherited mental illness, Relic makes beasts of the mind.

| Jan 8, 2024

Its interior lacks tension or anything shocking in its cadaverous plot about dementia, loneliness and the horror of old age. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 17, 2023

An exceptionally well-written, genuinely sad yet realistic story about dementia and how old people are treated once they can't live by themselves anymore. Emily Mortimer, Robyn Nevin, and Bella Heathcote all deliver exceptional performances.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 24, 2023

Relic is an intriguing example of “elevated horror.” It artistically depicts something ordinary that comprehends the terror and fear we experience while going through dementia.

| Jul 20, 2023

This is a horror that is refreshingly unreliant on jump scares. Eschewing them in favour of building mood and atmosphere.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 12, 2022

Relic tells us, shakes us, and corrodes us by showing us that we've build a world of abandonment that will continue for generations. The terror is real. [Full review in Spanish]

While a bit too heavy-handed in the employment of its central theme, Relic ultimately crafts a uniquely disturbing picture from both a human perspective and a supernatural one.

| Oct 26, 2022

“Relic” isn’t a movie of big scares. Instead it burrows under your skin, patiently building and then sustaining a chilling sense of dread.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 24, 2022

What's frustrating about Relic is that it has the kernel of a great idea, but given its 89-minute runtime and James' unwillingness to explore her characters or situation with more depth, the idea feels underdeveloped.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 18, 2022

Although it may not sound like it the movie is moving and the scenes are beautiful. [Full review in Spanish]

Relic's a haunting for life.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 8, 2021

The message, poignant and in plain sight, is a powerful one.

| Original Score: 4.5 / 5 | Jun 25, 2021

Natalie Erika James' creepy thriller is yet another stunning debut in 2020.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 17, 2021

Despite its setting, Relic is far more astute than your standard haunted house flick.

| Jun 5, 2021

A spooky and painful allegory about the passage of time. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 18, 2021

Is in these labyrinths of the house, of amnesia and senility that the most interesting moments of Erika James work and her photographer, Charlie Sarroff, strike. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 12, 2021

An intimate film that manages to blend, with subtlety, j-horror influences in a psychological and allegorical portrait of loss and grief. A true class act from Natalie Erika James. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8.8/10 | Apr 12, 2021

An eloquently calibrated work, tinged with physical and psychological pain. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 8, 2021

A gloriously terrifying film of mildew, rot, nightmarish dread, and the looking threat of intergeneration dementia.

| Mar 30, 2021

[A] masterful debut. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 9, 2021
