Quick Hit

Relic plays like a head-trip horror piece—sad, moldy, with enough style to make the damage look beautiful.

Full Take

Relic leans hard into psychological horror energy, and Natalie Erika James keeps the tone sad without letting the movie drift. The filmmaking is locked in, the atmosphere is doing real work, and the payoff earns the damage. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.

Not perfect but had some solid moments.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
