Grace - BLURAY

If you can stomach this type of horror, this is a good one. But, oof.... it was dark.

I originally saw this film at the San Francisco Film Festival and was knocked out by how elegant, intelligent, satirically funny and naturalistic it was. I laughed through the whole film even though many would think it only a scary film, I saw the dark humor and satire in it. I reccommend everyone see it. It is made more spooky by its natural, underplayed style. Its not the typical trashy, overdone, special-effect laden horror film. It is a film about obsessive "Mother love" on many levels. The acting was suberb also, the direction skilled and the editing was masterful. It was funded as a straight-to-DVD horror film but ended up winning awards and great reviews at film festivals and so had a limited theater release. Its on DVD now and it is a must-have for any film buff's collection. I won't tell you more about the plot cause it would spoil the suspense...just try it...you will thank me!

**NO SPOILERS** A profoundly disturbing movie. This one is often cited by horror magazines and websites as one of the scariest horror films you've never seen. In fact, there is a horror doco "The 50 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen" (that doco is a hidden-gem goldmine, by the way) and, if memory serves, this one is in the top 10 or 15. This film's creepy-factor arises directly from the vulnerablity of the mother-newborn dynamic (as the DVD artwork alludes to). That said this isn't your usual "bad seed" flick. Instead, it comes off as a fairly original horror indie horror film, and I can understand, having viewed it several times, why this one is quickly becoming a cult horror classic.

This is an odd movie, it really is. I could not figure out what was truly happening in this film. I would have felt a bit better about it had they taken a bit of time to explain why the baby was the way she was. That was never explained in the film. If you're a fan of campy horror films though like I am,this is a must-see.

Grace was an interesting concept. It's never quite clear what happens to the baby, but a series of tragic events produces a monster. The acting is fair for the lead characters, with an exceptionaaly good performance by the wicked mother-in-law obsessed with having the baby for herself. In the end, the whole story sees to be a fluffed-out version of a good short story .. which feels bloated in the end. It was fun watching once, but it has very little repeat viewing potential. I'd rate this a good rental movie, but not likely to get watched over-and-over.

This is for sure an under the radar gem here. Eerie, disturbing and different. The movie has no real villain yet it’s a scary movie. Has a bonus pointless camp ending that just makes the movie that much cooler.

Pure, unadulterated garbage. After viewing this bilge I was forced to realign my thoughts about women to reality. This film forces one to recommit to a reality that simply is not evident in any of my relationships with any woman I've ever known.... well, all but one. I didn't hate women before viewing this film, in point of fact, I've always cherished the time I get to spend with women in general, but all the women paraded through out this film are miserable & despicable, selfish & narcissistic, ugly & off-putting. Displaying no good qualities but demanding to be idolized just for being female. Maybe it reflects the director's view of, and/or history with women, if so, to him I offer my sincerest condolences.

Wow! Creepy and unsettling. Probably the best horror movie I've watched on Amazon. The demon spawn genre is pretty formulaic but this movie is full of surprises.
