In the wake of a horrific car accident that kills her husband, Michael (Stephen Park), expectant mother Madeline Matheson (Jordan Ladd) discovers that her daughter, Grace, has died in the womb. Ignoring her doctor's warnings that the fetus must be removed from her body, a grief-stricken Matheson demands to carry the child to term -- even if it endangers her own life to do so. Curiously, little Grace emerges undead -- and with a craving for human blood.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though not entirely effective as a conventional horror flick, Grace is still a graphic, disturbing, and artful exploration of twisted maternal instinct.

Oaklee D @ODie63 01/03/2025 An unique body horror film which had me wincing throughout. See more 02/19/2020 It's not landmark, but it's a pretty effective, twisted little horror flick. Would work best for those with newborns. See more 01/23/2018 VERY strange movie. Made me very uncomfortable and gave me serious anxiety. I? wouldn’t necessarily recommend this movie because it is so weird. But I do have to say that it kept me interested and there wasn’t a boring part to it. Just so so creepy, but no necessarily in a good way, more like, “what the hell did I? just watch” way..? See more 04/27/2017 well!! crazy movie I tell ya! See more 01/14/2016 Sometimes effective spin on the evil baby horror genre. See more 09/02/2015 Stilted, boring and completely ridiculous. There is a complete lack of suspense which is partly to do with the completely wooden acting. I dare say you could get a more naturalistic performance out of a flat pack wardrobe. No film maker sets out to make a bad movie and all film is subjective but I was surprised to see such a high critic rating. I could have forgiven the preposterous plot if there had been a little more tension and humour, It could have worked in a Babadook sort of way, sadly no. It limps along to an all too predictable climax and we're all left wondering what was the point. See more Read all reviews
