The horror world has seen a handful of incredible debut features in recent years, from Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook and Jordan Peele’s Get Out to Robert Eggers’ The Witch and Ari Aster’s Hereditary. Right up there with those incredible horror films is Natalie Erika James‘ Relic, a devastating metaphor for dementia that was just released earlier this month.
Horror in 2020 doesn’t get much better than Relic, and the film has left us with a whole lot of excitement for whatever its co-writer/director does next. So what’s next, you ask?
Speaking with Fangoria in the magazine’s latest issue (#8), Natalie Erika James teases what she’s currently working on. “I’m writing a few things, and they’re in subgenres of horror I would say,” she tells the magazine. “The one that’s furthest along is a Japanese folk horror which is very in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby and The Wicker Man, that kind of thing.”
She continues, “It has to do with pregnancy and the push and pull between self-hood and motherhood because… it does feel like a horror story. I feel like nothing in your life can prepare you for the trauma of childbirth, at least not in what I witnessed when my sister went through it.”
“And then I’m also writing a demon horror set in LA, and a body horror set in NY,” James adds.
Relic is now available through VOD outlets via IFC Midnight.
