What You Need To Know:
GRACE is stylishly shot. In the first half, it goes for psychological horror rather than the type of gruesome horror one might expect from such a plot. Eventually, however, gruesome events, including bloody murder, take over the plot. There are also scenes of implied and depicted mutilation as well as strong foul language. Finally, it turns out that Maddy and the midwife had a past lesbian affair, and that the midwife is interested in resuming the affair when the husband dies. Thus, GRACE not only has an abhorrent theme. It is also laced with abhorrent violence, obscenity and sexual content. Hollywood seems to be releasing more gruesome horror movies earlier in the year.

More Detail:
GRACE is a psychological horror flick with an abhorrent theme – a dead newborn infant comes back to life and has a thirst for blood. The movie offers no explanations on how this can possibly be true.
The mother of the baby, Madeline, is a vegetarian who wants her baby born naturally at the clinic of a vegetarian midwife doctor she knew in college. Maddy’s mother-in-law, Vivian, strenuously objects to this, however. She wants the baby born in a hospital with her family doctor.
When Maddy suddenly starts having chest pains, Vivian’s family doctor forces his way into the hospital room to handle the situation and almost kills both mother and baby, but the midwife steps in and saves them. On the drive back home, however, Maddy and her husband, Michael, have a fatal accident that kills Michael, and the baby is pronounced dead in the womb.
The midwife suggests Maddy go through with a birth of the stillborn baby. When, however, Maddy, cuddles the stillborn baby, the baby suddenly comes back to life! At home, however, the baby seems to attract flies. Then, after Maddy kills all the flies with hanging flypaper, the baby has a thirst for Maddy’s blood rather than her breast milk. Things go from bad to worse after that.
GRACE is stylishly shot. In the first half, it goes for disturbing psychological horror rather than the type of gruesome horror one might expect from such a plot. Eventually, however, bloody murder does occur. There are also scenes of implied and depicted mutilation. Also, it turns out that Maddy and the midwife had a past lesbian affair, and that the midwife is interested in resuming the affair after the husband dies. This movie also contains plenty of strong foul language.
GRACE not only has an abhorrent theme. It is also laced with abhorrent violence, obscenity and sexual content.
