Review of Relic

Relic (2020)
7/10
Not A Paranormal Horror. One Much Worse.

Warning: Spoilers
Just wanted to write a simple review for this movie. It was well cast and the acting was on par.

The ending seems to be the most confusing or controversial part of this movie but in my opinion, when it's striped down (no pun intended) is that it's simply a case of this horrible disease of dementia/Alzheimer's that leaves the mother on one side and the daughter and granddaughter completely devastated by simply not knowing anything about what it is they'd known or loved about this person or "thing" to put it more crudely, but probably more on point.

It's always going to be hard to fit in dementia as a story to be used for common tropes in horror in the original "horror" sense, but the the truth is that this disease is worse than anything paranormal that could possibly happen. It's devastating.

Well done to the first time director and the cinematography was beautiful. I look forward to to seeing more.
