User Reviews

Bloody but Good

Grace is a dark tale of a pregnant woman who is involved in a car accident, which kills her husband and unborn child. Madeline, who has struggled for years to have a kid, decides to carry to term. A stillborn is the result, but little Grace, somehow, comes to life. The little one smells strange and has a taste for blood.

Previous to the accident, Madeline fights with her mother in law, Vivian, over her being a vegetarian and also her belief in midwifery and breast feeding. This is sort of a feminist horror film. Grace attracts flies and clumps of hair fall out when it is brushed. When mommy attempts to breast feed the tot, it bites her and drinks her blood; the little devil; or vampire.

The final portion of Grace is very bloody and violent, but the acting is superb and if you are a fan of Rosemary's Baby or The Omen, this is your cup of tea.
