Netflix stars in the prequel to the cult horror film! Here are the first pictures

Before Vanity Fair magazine released the first photos from the film, director Natalie Erica James (Relic) explained what she liked about the project:

“When they contacted me, I was very doubtful. Of course, I would never sign on to remake such a classic and important film. But it was really nice to play in the world of Ira Levin’s novel and also play with the characters.

I think my motivation for doing it was to feel like there was a different kind of emotional journey to explore and to do it in a way that was a little bit subversive of the genre..”
