filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

nikosss13 The only people giving this amateur pile of crap more than a 3 or 4 are people who are obsessed with the taboo of the taboo, and that still only applies if you buy into vaguely feminist cinema, or care to explore something as droll as motherhood. Here's a message that should be sent out to everyone who gave this film an 8: motherhood happens all the time, and it's been done. Done to death. And this is a painful example of a director who knew he could get a sympathy DVD sale from adventurous housewives. The constant vegan/matriarchal imagery was painful to watch and couldn't get any less subtle. This movie will not make you think. This movie won't make an emotionally healthy person ponder motherhood, morality, or science. All it will make you do is wish you watched 11/11/11, and that movie is pure garbage, but at least it was funny.

loomis78-815-989034 Madeline and Michael Matheson (Ladd & Park) are thrilled about their upcoming baby. Michael and his parents are not happy with Madeline's decision to go to a midwife named Patricia (Ferris) who is later revealed to be an ex-lover of Madeline's. An unexpected car accident kills Michael and supposedly kills the baby inside of Madeline. She still gives birth with Patricia and everyone is devastated at the dead baby, until Grace seems to will the baby back to life. Madeline goes into seclusion with her baby who seems to be attracting flies and is doing a nasty number on mommy's breast while breast feeding. This is not a normal baby and Madeline catches on to its blood lust. At first she buy's meat from the store and pours animal blood in the bottle and eventually she must look to humans for fresh blood. This twisted story by Writer/Director Paul Solet is clever in how it unfolds on screen. The couple is very normal and once the dead baby is brought to life things go from bad to worse. Solet doesn't spell every detail out either like how is the baby alive? Or is it really alive, or is she alive only Madeline's mind? The script wisely lets the audience draw their own conclusions which keep things fresh throughout. Nothing jumps out at you, there aren't jump scares or any real suspense, this films terror lies in its subject matter and how it goes from bad to worse. The cast is good with Jordan Ladd doing a nice job in the lead and Samantha Ferris is very believable as the jilted lesbian lover.

Jim McCormick Here's a morbid little bundle of joy! Madeline, a pregnant mother is involved in a car crash. She goes to the doctor & is told her unborn baby is dead. She decides to keep the baby full term, as she is obsessed with having a baby, even if it's dead. The child is born & pronounced dead, but something very strange happens, the baby thought dead comes back to life! Madeline overjoyed, names the baby "Grace." Grace is not your typical bouncing baby girl, as a matter of fact, Grace is not typical at all, as she starts to produce an odor of rotting flesh, & attracts flies. It seems as Grace has an appetite, a very peculiar appetite, not for mother's milk, but mothers blood!"Grace" is indeed a strange nightmarish film. It will not appeal to everyone, especially mothers who have had a miscarriage or still born baby. They will find this film sacrilegious to a sanctity of motherhood. The rest of us? Well, I'll just say it's not to everyone's taste, as this is truly an ugly & disturbing portrait of the obscenely unnatural. It's repulsiveness will attract us like a car wreck, we don't want to see, but we have to know. We watch in morbid fascination as baby Grace feeds off her own mothers blood through her breast, shredding & bloodying Madeline's nipples like a rat in baby human form. It's quite the disturbing portrait of depravity & a mother's desperation. Not for everyone.Those of you that have not seen this film, you're forewarned. Be prepared for the warped offensive film this is, that is somehow mesmerizing.

Scarecrow-88 Dark, depressing, very disturbing film about a young woman, Madeline(Jordan Ladd)whose baby dies before she's able to carry her to full term, after a car crash which took the life of her husband, Michael(Stephen Park). Insisting on delivering the baby anyway, the infant somehow revives and has an insatiable thirst for human blood, evident by how Grace(the baby's name)suckles the deep crimson from her mommy's breast. Michael's domineering mother, Vivian(Gabrielle Rose, in a superb performance), unable to fully recover from the loss of her son, will seek to take Grace from Madeline, so she can relive the "mother experience"(we even see her testing out an old breast pump used on Michael when he was a baby). Patricia Lang(Samantha Ferris)is Madeline's "midwife", an alternative to the hospital doctor(which ruffles Vivian's feathers), and we can see that the two once had a lesbian relationship in college together. Patricia steal carries a torch for Madeline, but the feelings don't seem to be mutual. Shelly(Kate Herriot)is Patricia's associate and lover, clearly jealous of her affection for Madeline(Shelly even hides the fact that Madeline has called a number of times about emergencies concerning Grace!). Madeline slowly deteriorates both physically and psychologically as Grace both bleeds her into anemia and demands more "food", with Vivian concocting a plan to snatch the baby away with help from her old pediatrician, Dr. Richard Sohn(Malcolm Stewart). When Sohn(and later Vivian) attempts to take Grace away, believing her to be sick, matters worsen..Director Paul Solet shoots most of the action up close, especially on the faces of his cast. The subject matter, regarding a baby's vampiric thirst, is certainly shocking, and the final image, I figure, will cause many a viewer to agonize..it's really a cringe-inducing climax which shows just how much a mother loves her child. I think that's the film's theme, the lengths for which a mother will go for her daughter, not only suffering herself, but what she's willing to do to keep Grace satisfied, and fed. It can get really bloody. Blood splashes on the floor when Madeline's water breaks. While giving birth, a mass of blood erupts from Madeline's vagina. Blood is a constant in this movie, the loss during the birthing cycle(or perhaps something that happened during the pregnancy), I guess, contributes to why Grace needs it for food. The blood illness Grace suffers is ambiguously presented in the film, and we can only conjecture what truly caused it. Ladd looks mostly fatigued and weakened in the movie, the toll of the pregnancy, the loss of her husband, Grace's need for blood, all attributing to her character's state by the end of the film. We never actually see Madeline happy, only as Grace suckles from her breast for the first time after birth does she show any form of joy, and it is a tired happiness that will soon subside. But, there's no denying Madeline's motherly love for Grace, and we see, time and again, how she tries to appease the baby. The most emotionally wrenching scene involves Madeline holding her dead baby after birth, not accepting Grace's demise, an unyielding belief that she will live.
