Since
Roman
Polanski's
Rosemary's
Baby,
many
movie-makers
have
attempted
to
create
a
fearful
theme
with
a
newborn
at
its
plot
axis
(the
cheap
and
tacky
It's
Alive
movies
notwithstanding).
Grace
takes
on
this
subject
with
some
highly
effective
and
disturbing
results.
After
a
pregnant
mother-to-be
loses
her
husband
and
her
unborn
child
in
a
tragic
accident,
she
chooses
to
carry
the
dead
baby
to
term.
But,
miraculously
on
giving
birth,
the
baby
is
alive.
Systematically
the
baby
starts
to
display
strange
behaviour
and
a
thirst
for
more
than
milk...
With
supporting
characters
including
the
mother's
ex-girlfriend
assisting
with
the
child's
birth
at
her
clinic,
to
a
step-mother
adamant
to
get
custody
of
her
dead
son's
child,
this
is
a
well-structured
tale
set
to
freak
out
future
mothers,
even
though
it's
pace
lags
in
parts.
Grace
also
screened
at
the
2009
Toronto
After
Dark
film
festival.
