For a long time, Edna has lived isolated in the dilapidated family farm on the outskirts of town while dementia crept in. Only when she is reported missing do her daughter and granddaughter go there to search, without success. But suddenly one day Edna is back. She stands there making tea as if nothing had happened. But her body is covered in bruises and she has dirt under her nails. Of course it is Edna. But still not. Her mind has changed, in a frightening way, and she refuses to tell what she has been through. And what has come home with her from the excursion into the unknown...

RELIC is an unforgettable debut from Australian Natalie Erika James, who has been praised for reviving the horror genre with her multi-faceted film on par with The Babadook and Hereditary. Not surprisingly, Natalie has already been lured with big offers from Hollywood.
