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
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
Grace is a truly horrifying movie.
08/12/09
Solet proves himself adept both as a visual storyteller and as a guy who can make you crap your pants.
08/12/09
The 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
The story a mother who must supply her vampire baby with appropriate nourishment is unemotional, unscary, and overly clinical.
08/06/09
Grace is very much the antidote to what plagues most of the horror genre today. It will restore your faith that there is still an artistic vision within the horror genre.
07/08/09
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
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.
02/02/09
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
Like Bug or Audition, Grace will imprint its uniquely grotesque imagery onto your cerebrum, then dare you to shake it off.
06/09/09
Little details like these make the film a valuable contribution to the genre. Likewise, the treatment of female characters and themes, while not perfect, is welcome.
03/17/09
you may never look at a baby sound monitor the same way.
09/21/09
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
Along with Solet's direction and Ladd's admirable conveyance of isolation and paranoia, tonally Grace feels like something an indie Bergman or Polanski might have done.
05/19/09
It's a horrifying meditation on the unbreakable union of mother and child.
08/14/09
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
A combination splatter flick and demon child extravaganza that succeeds in bloody special effects but fails to become an actual movie.
08/14/09
"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
