IFC Midnight has released a teaser trailer for the upcoming horror film Relic, starring Emily Mortimer and Bella Heathcote as a mother and daughter who return to their family home to care for their mom/grandma with dementia only to find some very sinister things afoot.
Relic will open in theaters and on VOD platforms July 10th.
When elderly mother Edna (Robyn Nevin) inexplicably vanishes, her daughter Kay (Emily Mortimer) and granddaughter Sam (Bella Heathcote) 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.
This really looks like a really creepy, expertly made horror film.
