Though reluctantly compliant, her husband remains supportive of her choices until a sudden tragic accident leaves her unborn baby lifeless inside of her. Madeline remains determined to carry the still Review: So sad😢 - This movie was so sad and scary. Review: Dark, just darkness - If you can stomach this type of horror, this is a good one.

A disturbing mother-child cult horror indie classic !!!
**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.

SAVING GRACE
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!

Short story taken too far ...
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.

Movie Was Odd
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.

Don't Believe the Hype or Waste Your Time
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.

Erie,Disturbing, Different and a splash of camp.
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.

It’s not a DI Grace book but a very weird horror story. We sent it back.

Viel Blut und cooles Baby. Zum Glück, nur im Film. :-) Artikel sehr gut. Genau wie vom Verkäufer beschrieben. Reibungsloser Einkauf. Top Preis und super Quantität. Top, Top, Top. Besser als im Handel.

I ordered this on the basis that it appeared to be a novel horror film. Something cutting edge. A little different to the average. So I sat down to watch it with a degree of anticipation and excitement. Totally let down. The story line was weak, the acting wooden, the horror frankly pathetic. I feel that this is one I will never watch again, as watching paint dry for 90 minutes would be a better prospect. Watch the trailer. In that way it will be free and you can see all the somewhat better bits in less than 5 minutes.

Madeleine und Michael Matheson erwarten ihr Wunschkind. Madeleine, die streng vegan lebt, entscheidet sich gegen den Willen ihrer Schwiegermutter gegen eine Geburt im Krankenhaus und will ihre Tochter in einem Geburtshaus bei einer alten Bekannten gebären. Michael unterstützt seine Frau, doch eines Tages haben die beiden einen Unfall und Michael stirbt. Auch Töchterchen Grace überlebt den Unfall im Mutterleib nicht. Madeleine bringt die Kleine tot zur Welt, doch kurz darauf ist Grace putzmunter. Wieder zuhause merkt Madeleine bald, dass ihre Tochter kein normales Kind ist. Sie ist innerlich tot und um am Leben zu bleiben braucht sie Blut - viel Blut... Ein Thema, das Kontroversen ausgelöst hat, verpackt in einen ruhigen, subtilen Horrorfilm. Das Thema ist leise und ohne viel Effekte erzählt, mit ruhigen Bildern und Dialogen, aber doch spannend und nicht langweilig. Es wurde auch ein echtes Baby gefilmt (wirklich sehr süß die Kleine!), wenn auch natürlich bei den entscheidenden Szenen eine Puppe verwendet wurde, aber das trägt natürlich zu mehr Authentizität bei. Grace geht einen ans Herz, bleibt aber doch irgendwie oberflächlich, da man dem "Mysterium" nicht auf den Grund geht und wir nicht erfahren, warum Grace so ist wie sie ist. Ihre Mutter scheint aus dem Nichts zu verstehen, was die Kleine braucht, nachdem sie ihr die Brustwarzen blutig gesaugt hat. Man versteht alles nicht wirklich. Dann wäre da noch die Schwiegermutter, die ihren Sohn bis zum 3ten Lebensjahr gestillt hat und auch jetzt noch übermässig viel Milch zu produzieren scheint (auch da erfährt man nicht, warum) und sich der kleinen Grace bemächtigen will, nachdem sie ihren Sohn verloren hat. Jordan Ladd spielt die sich abschottende und langsam fertige Mutter sehr überzeugend, ihr Spiel hat mir wirklich gefallen. Allerdings hätte ich mir gerne mehr Hintergründe von allem gewünscht, die Story ist doch etwas oberflächlich geblieben. Die Erzählweise und Bildführung hat mich teilweise ein wenig an die französischen Filme wie "In my skin" erinnert, sehr ruhig, ohne viel Musik, aber eindringlich. Mir hat der Film trotz allem sehr gut gefallen und er wird im Regal bleiben ;)
