What an absolute disappointment. Badly written, badly directed Australian rubbish. I try to support Aussie homegrown entertainment but boy, I'm getting tired of seeing so much money being spent on unwatchable shows.

Relic
(2020)
Relic is an unsuccessful flop.
11 July 2020
Unnecessarily slow and boring, Relic drags the life out of you minute by minute. One of the most frustrating and boring movies I've seen in recent years.
As for the screenplay, it's poorly written, average at best, with no attempt to be engaging or entertaining for its audience.
The direction is worse. Sadly, the director just doesn't have the skills to make this movie work. The director lacks the ability to make interesting and engaging moments happen on screen. The poor script doesn't help, but a better director would have at least been able to make the most of a poor foundation. Unfortunately, the directors attempt to be artistic, just comes across as self-indulgent filmmaking. The dark, sometimes pitch-black, visual choices are a significant obstacle for the viewer.
Against all odds, a couple of acting performances help claw back some integrity but its too little too late. There's really just nothing enjoyable about Relic at all.
It was an interesting idea but unfortunately poorly executed, leaving the viewer frustrated and unsatisfied.
