Relic (2020)

Australia has punched well above it's weight with magnificent
low-budget films this century, first with hard nosed crime
dramas, then last decade with striking forays into sci-fi and
horror. Even against that back-drop the major film debut from
writer-director Natalie Erika James stands out as a masterpiece.
Posited as a near Hereditary house-horror film, it works in
seamless tandem as both a high-class stock horror and something
far superior, a metaphorical look at the scariest monster of all
- mortality. An emotionally overwhelming and highly original use
of standard horror tropes to examine our relationship with ageing
parents to a point that I think it's the only horror film I've
seen to make me cry. Astonishingly human and utterly devastating.
