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.

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

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
It focuses on characters rather than the color red, which is why it manages to surpass many of its more prominent cinematic competitors and qualify as one of the few true must-see horror movies of 2009.

you may never look at a baby sound monitor the same way.

...a love-it-or-hate-it proposition...

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.

"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 a horrifying meditation on the unbreakable union of mother and child.

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
Keeps you on the edge of your seat, or perhaps the edge of fleeing the theater.
08/14/09
Top CriticIntroduces Grace writer/director Paul Solet as a new master of horror.
08/14/09
A combination splatter flick and demon child extravaganza that succeeds in bloody special effects but fails to become an actual movie.
08/14/09
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
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
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
Solet proves himself adept both as a visual storyteller and as a guy who can make you crap your pants.
08/12/09
Grace is a truly horrifying movie.
08/12/09
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
Creepy, yes, but what's the point of all of this bratty, poignance-free bloodletting?
08/11/09
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.
