The story a mother who must supply her vampire baby with appropriate nourishment is unemotional, unscary, and overly clinical.

Consensus: Though not entirely effective as a conventional horror flick, Grace is still a graphic, disturbing, and artful exploration of twisted maternal instinct.
Theatrical Release:Aug 14, 2009 Limited
Synopsis: The evil child motif is a fixture in horror cinema, but this film adds another dimension to the trope. In GRACE, an expectant mother (Jordan Ladd, CABIN FEVER) discovers that her unborn baby has... [More]

Reviews for Grace
A combination splatter flick and demon child extravaganza that succeeds in bloody special effects but fails to become an actual movie.
08/14/09
Lame horror entry about a woman who gives birth to a literal little monster won't scare up the bucks, in spite of post-fest hype.
08/13/09
Grace is just a stretched thin short film, as the mother-in-law with the unsettling maternal issues, the corrupt doctor, and the lesbian midwife material don't fit in.
11/09/09
Profoundly disturbing, a chilling motion picture that shows an invigorating amount of imagination and wicked behavior, immediately vaulting it above most horror product.
06/18/09
Grimaces its way through 85 long, low-key minutes just to marvel again and again that, gosh, mommies really love their babies.
08/13/09
...a love-it-or-hate-it proposition...
09/05/09
Grace is a truly horrifying movie.
08/12/09
Creepy, yes, but what's the point of all of this bratty, poignance-free bloodletting?
08/11/09
Top CriticThe sickest and most disturbing movie you'll see this year, extremely effective on every level without cowtowing to the overused formulas that have become standard in modern horror.
08/14/09
Solet proves himself adept both as a visual storyteller and as a guy who can make you crap your pants.
08/12/09
Deeply unsettling stuff ... [but] sharp, witty and ambitiously artful too, like some lost gem from the highbrow spectrum of '70s exploitation cinema
08/13/09
Like Bug or Audition, Grace will imprint its uniquely grotesque imagery onto your cerebrum, then dare you to shake it off.
06/09/09
"Grace" isn't really a horror movie, but it's gruesome and unsettling. The story could easily have been turned into low-budget genre trash; but first-time feature director Paul Solet maintains iron control of the wild material. Clearly, this is a guy to k
08/14/09
It's hard to say who's the real monster here: Sure, the ghoulish Grace is some kind of vampire-zombie something ... but in Solet's movie (s)mother love comes in all shades of crazy.
08/27/09
It's a horrifying meditation on the unbreakable union of mother and child.
08/14/09
Keeps you on the edge of your seat, or perhaps the edge of fleeing the theater.
08/14/09
you may never look at a baby sound monitor the same way.
09/21/09
Paul Solets gyno-horror flick is certainly twisted but only slightly unnerving; the movie is about as gripping as one might expect given that its infant monster is both mute and cradle-bound.
08/12/09
Covers the three essential bases of indie horror: It's scary, it's smart, and it pushes a few boundaries. An excellent debut for Paul Solet.
