I hate it when I hear good buzz about a horror movie, then it never makes it to the mainstream circuit. Grace, Paranormal Activity (I am DYING to see this) and Trick ‘r Treat are recent examples. After making some festival noise last year, Grace was available on Netflix last Tuesday. I finally got to see what all the fuss was about.
This horror maven was a little queasy at the conclusion of this low budget horror movie about the ties that bind a mother and her baby. As indicated by the film’s poster, the baby in the story has some unique dietary restrictions, so to speak. First time mother Madeline (Jordan Ladd, quite good) has been taking fertility drugs for a few years, and is finally pregnant.
She is a vegan, drinks soy milk and has a waste compost container in her backyard. She decides to hire a midwife, much to her mother-in-law’s chagrin. A brush with preeclampsia lands her in the hospital, but she miraculously stabilizes. On the drive home from the hospital she and her husband are involved in a car wreck, which kills her husband and their unborn child.
