The 2020 horror film stars Emily Mortimer (Scream 3), Robyn Nevin (The Matrix Reloaded), and Bella Heathcote (The Neon Demon).

When elderly mother Edna inexplicably vanishes, her daughter Kay and granddaughter Sam rush to the family’s decaying country home, finding clues of her increasing dementia scattered around the house in her absence. After Edna returns just as mysteriously as she disappeared, Kay’s concern that her mother seems unwilling or unable to say where she’s been clashes with Sam’s unabashed enthusiasm to have her grandma back. As Edna’s behavior turns increasingly volatile, both begin to sense that an insidious presence in the house might be taking control of her.

#56 Relic (2020)

Kay (Emily Mortimer) recibe una llamada de la policía, su madre hace varios días que no da señales de vida y eso ha preocupado a los vecinos, Edna (Robyn Nevin) es una mujer mayor que ha empezado a desarrollar demencia, pero Kay pensaba que la cosa avanzaría más lentamente. Kay y su hija Sam (Bella Heathcote) van a casa de la abuela y la buscan junto a la policía por los bosques de al rededor de la casa.

Su abuela vuelve confusa y desorientada, dice cosas que olvida, hace cosas extrañas y dentro de su demencia deja de lado a la apacible mujer que era y se vuelve hostil. Kay piensa en llevarla a una residencia para mayores, pero Sam quiere quedarse con ella y ayudarla.

Edna ya no se reconoce y la casa de sus antepasados empieza a desarrollar un moho que se extiende por todas las paredes y que nace desde la chimenea, donde están las cenizas del abuelo. Ese moho también está en la piel de Edna, y conforme avanza sobre ella y sobre la casa ella se va perdiendo en la demencia.

¿De qué va Relic? De como una enfermedad te consume, como la demencia, hace que Edna se vaya dejando notas a lo largo de la casa, al principio como persona desconcertada ante la enfermedad, y más adelante como una mujer aterrorizada. Para Edna desde que su marido murió ella fue adentrándose en la demencia de forma gradual, y su casa se fue deteriorando como ella.

Cuando se adentran en la casa ya llena de moho está todo lleno de recuerdos que no son más que acumulaciones de "por si acaso", por ello todo ese moho nace de las cenizas de su abuelo, y se expande por cada rincón de la casa, demostrando como fue la enfermedad al principio para Edna y lo horrible que está siendo ahora no poder descansar.

Kay ve a su madre perderse en lo hondo de la casa, como se le cae la carcasa y desa de ser ella, y ni siquiera, puede descansar, por eso se tumba con ella en la cama y la abraza, para que pueda pasar el proceso de desvanecerse sin sufrir. Cuando su hija Sam se tumba abrazándola a ella, se da cuenta de que el moho también ha empezado a extender en el cuerpo de su madre y tarde o temprano lo hará sobre ella.

Ser consciente de la enfermedad, ayudar a tus seres queridos a transitarla y a ser conocedores de que, aunque el final, es la muerte, no tienen por qué transitar ese camino tan desagradable y confuso sola. A Edna le cuesta hacerse a la idea, y a su hija y a su nieta también, pero se quieren y pese a que la confusión las embarga a todas, logran sincronizarse para acompañarse hasta el final.

Relic is one of my favorite films of 2020, but it is a super difficult watch if you have family members who suffer with dementia...fair warning, but well worth the watch.

STING (2024)

Starring Tony J. Black, Alyla Browne, Alcira Carpio, Silvia Colloca, Ryan Corr, Jermaine Fowler, Noni Hazlehurst, Rowland Holmes, Danny Kim, Penelope Mitchell and Robyn Nevin.

Screenplay by Kiah Roache-Turner.

Directed by Kiah Roache-Turner.

Distributed by Well Go USA Entertainment. 91 minutes. Rated R.

Occasionally Sting can’t quite decide if it is a creature-feature horror film or a heartfelt family drama. Sadly, it doesn’t quite work on either level, although it does have enough comic jump scares to make it some cheesy fun. After all, Sting doesn’t take itself too seriously, so why should we? (I am saying that both as a positive and as a negative.)

The story revolves around a strangely mutating spider who grows from a small normal size to the size of a hog in the space of a few days. And, needless to say, the bigger the spider gets, the bigger its meals become. She starts with eating the many, many cockroaches in a Brooklyn tenement apartment, and quickly graduates to small pets, and then tenants and exterminators. (I honestly have no way of telling the sex of a spider, but one of the characters refers to the creature as a she, so I’ll take her word for it.)

It also revolves around a family living in the building, particularly the young daughter Charlotte (Alyla Brown). She lives with her mother Heather (Penelope Mitchell), stepfather Ethan (Ryan Corr) and her infant sister. Ethan is a struggling comic book artist who took a job as the super at an old Brooklyn tenement apartment run by his slumlord mother-in-law. (Even though very little of the film takes place outside of the apartment, it doesn’t really look all that much like Brooklyn, and since it’s an Australian film, I’d assume it was made there.)

Ethan and Charlotte are working together on a comic book which actually has gotten sold and might be their big break if they can only get it finished, and yet Charlotte doesn’t particularly seem to like Ethan at all. In fact, honestly, Charlotte appears to be bit of a budding sociopath through much of the film – and not just because she thinks an aggressive, fast-growing spider makes for a good secret pet – until she eventually shows humanity when on the run from the giant spider and trying to save her family.

She had found the spider while on one of her apparently regular jaunts through the ventilation system of the old building. She apparently breaks into the other apartments through the huge vents, just to steal grandma’s dolls, make vaguely creepy Instagram posts of other people’s stuff, or simply to look around. In one of those nocturnal visits, she finds a spider crawled on her hand. Instead of trying to get it off, she decides to keep it as a pet. For the record, she names the spider Sting after the sword in The Lord of the Rings, not the former Police singer.

Eventually Sting gets loose in the same ventilation system and starts either killing or capturing the people in massive webs.

It’s sort of cheesy and sort of silly, but sort of fun too. And really, that’s all this film is trying for.

Jermaine Fowler adds some decent comic relief in the role of an exterminator who may have met his match with this arachnid. Honestly, other than him and the main family, most of the characters are sort of one-dimensional spider bait, but that’s okay, we’re not looking for deep characterization in a giant spider movie. We are looking for scares, and Sting delivers the goods just often enough to make it worth a look if it shows up on cable at 3:00 in the morning sometime.

Relic

“Everything Decays” is the tagline for Natalie Erika James’ debut feature RELIC (2020, Shudder). Apparently, that applies to critics’ memories as much as the aging Edna (Robyn Nevin), whose mental and physical deterioration is a concern for daughter Emily Mortimer and granddaughter Bella Heathcote. The film won praise for its use of thriller and horror conventions to create a metaphor for the effects of aging on both those growing older and their younger family members. The three actresses do some good work, and early on the script by James and Christian White paints a realistic picture of intergenerational conflict with Mortimer trying to convince Nevin she can no longer care for herself alone while also confronting Heathcote over her life choices. But the script writes some checks it can’t cash. At one point, Nevin says there’s something under her bed. Mortimer looks, hears something breathing and then forgets about it. At various points, Nevin has conversations with something that isn’t there, but we never resolve whether it’s some kind of supernatural presence or a product of dementia. Later the metaphor takes over so completely there’s no real sense of what’s going on. The film ends with a potentially powerful image, but it’s presented so baldly you’re just as likely to laugh as to gasp with recognition. If you really want to see a good example of how to use horror to deal with the problems of aging, check out 2014’s THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN (Prime, Tubi), with magnificent performances by Jill Larson in the title role and Anne Ramsay as the daughter who’s not sure if her mother’s problems are dementia or demonic possession.

His aggression adds to the tension.⁣ ⁣ In an ensemble cast of good performances, Laurence Boxhall’s portrayal of the over-sharing yet anxious Wren is noteworthy. Mollie likes Wren, but the others find him irritating & ludicrous.⁣ ⁣ Anna O’Byrne is strong as the fledgling innkeeper running the guesthouse with no help.

Drowsy chaperone cast

If you missed the show this time around, stay tuned for more productions from the Lakewood Cultural Center they won’t disappoint. Some of the moments were a bit cringy, like the part where Cardell “accidentally” puts on the wrong record, and it’s a very racially insensitive play about Asian folks, but those moments are definitely intentional and meant to drive a point home about how some lovable old theatre doesn’t exactly age well. In fact, hearing from folks who were familiar with the show, Cardell’s pensive portrayal of the narrator and other little details in the dialogue actually added more depth to a sometimes-goofy show. The actors were all well-suited to their roles, and the set was really cool and captivating. The show is meant to be madcap and funny, and it was. There really isn’t much criticism to aim at this show. Cardell’s portrayal of the narrator is both funny and a little dark and sad, as he drops various clues about a failed marriage, a reclusive personality, a closeted identity, and a distaste for the horrors of the modern world. But don’t let the premise fool you there are some serious, sad moments in there as well. In short, it’s a mostly silly show, plenty of jabs at both modern life and old-school musicals. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theater producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided suitor, and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight. The recording brings the characters to life, and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. “ The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another. So what exactly is this show about? The synopsis from the press release gives a pretty good idea: He’s a lovable theatre nerd, so what better role than someone who wants to share their favorite fictional musical with the audience? If you’re familiar with Bernie Cardell , who usually works in a directorial role with Vintage Theatre instead of on the stage, you ‘ll know what a perfect role The Man in the Chair, the narrator of the odd tale, was for him. And speaking of comic genius, Geoffrey Rush (fresh from conquering Broadway himself) will conjure up a dazzling cavalcade of stars, which includes the riveting Robyn Nevin, the shimmering Shane Jacobson, the graceful Grant Piro, the raffish Richard Piper and hoofing Heidi Arena.If you were lucky enough to catch The Drowsy Chaperone at the Lakewood Cultural Center, you know what’s up-it was great. The overarching conceit that the musical is recreated for us by a Broadway fan as he plays the Original Cast Album is a stroke of comic genius. For the next ninety minutes I sat enraptured by the most wonderfully mocking yet affectionate spoof of early Broadway musicals – a rich layer cake of homage piled on blancmange, with just a sprinkling of wistful insight. ‘On a quiet Monday night in New York a few years ago, I slipped into the first preview of this musical without knowing anything about it.
