10 Lesser Known Horror Movies That Are 100% Worth Your Time

10. Relic

It's rather unfortunate that Relic seemed to get lost in the pandemic shuffle, releasing in the summer of 2020 but failing to make much of a commercial or cultural impact, despite scoring rave reviews from critics.

Even if generational trauma is starting feel a tad played out as a thematic device in horror as of late, Natalie Erika James' superb debut is a haunting depiction of three generations of women struggling to cope with a manifestation of dementia which invades their home.

Veteran Australian actress Robyn Nevin gives a phenomenal performance as an elderly widow increasingly withered by mental illness, while Emily Mortimer and Bella Heathcote are terrific as her embattled daughter and granddaughter respectively.

James' film doesn't merely stop at using the horror genre to explore the devastatingly destructive power of dementia and the wounds it inflicts on entire families - it's also dripping with style from start to heart-rending finish.

One of the best "A24-esque" horrors around, and yet one that's largely fallen upon deaf ears since release, you absolutely owe it to yourself to see Relic.
