Natalie Erika James’ first film as director, titled “Relic“, garnered praise at Sundance in January 2020, but later got overshadowed amidst the global pandemic upheaval, just like many other works. This horror movie, produced by the companies associated with the Russo brothers and Jake Gyllenhaal, employed the genre to convey an allegory about dementia and the agony that comes with watching our elderly relatives age. Despite being a low-budget co-production between Australia and America, “Relic” still managed to earn a few million dollars at the disappointing global box office of 2020. Ultimately, the film rightfully brought James to the attention of the studio system.
