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.

Critics Consensus

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

Keeps you on the edge of your seat, or perhaps the edge of fleeing the theater.

It is a true original, and unlike all those remakes and retreads this is one movie that truly knows what scares you.

4/5

Grace truly deserves an honorable mention, if not a spot, among the best maternal horror stories released in the last twenty years.

VERY strange movie. Made me very uncomfortable and gave me serious anxiety. I? wouldnt necessarily recommend this movie because it is so weird. But I do have to say that it kept me interested and there wasnt 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..?
