How to watch the relic: Movie release date, trailer, etc.

In the new film "Relic," losing one's mind is the greatest fear. Streaming on demand today, Friday, July 10, the film turns dementia into a demon that torments three generations of women.

In "Relic," Kay (Emily Mortimer) and her daughter Sam (Bella Heathcote) visit the secluded family home where Kay's elderly mother Edna (Robin Nevin) lives. Kay is shocked by the dilapidation of the house, but is even more disturbed when Edna shows up a few days later with no recollection of where she has been or what she has done. The black marks on Edna's chest correspond to the black mold that has grown throughout the house. Kay wonders how to take care of her mother, but is plagued by hair-raising nightmares. What on earth is going on in this house?

Relic turns the dreaded condition of dementia into a sinister force that manifests itself as a misshapen, crumbling house. Film critics have praised the film for its clever, unique, and accessible twist on the horror genre.

The New York Times: "'Relic' deftly blends the familiar shocks and groans of haunted house movies with a powerful allegory for the ravages of dementia."

Rolling Times: "'Relic' deftly blends the familiar shocks and groans of a haunted house movie with a powerful allegory for the ravages of dementia."

Rolling Stone Magazine: "[The house is] a triumph of staging and sound design, with moments that seem to breathe, ready to spin itself around, crushing anyone who tries to enter its labyrinth:

RogerEbert.com: "The last 20 of 'Relic' minutes are extremely nerve-wracking, with an intense sense of claustrophobia and dread.

IndieWire: "More creepy than scary, 'Relic' is chock-full of chillingly original ideas with enormous potential, and though it occasionally runs too far into metaphor, it still manages to freak us out and lands us with the most harrowing final image in modern horror. It's a great film."
