Grace (2009)

About Grace, there isn't much to say. When i first read the plotline, i thought it would be just some lame remake of an 80's movie or something like that, but in the end it turned out to be an amazing surprise.

I have to admit that i was extremely impressed by the story of this movie, not so much by the special effects or the few disturbing images, but because of some character's attitudes and actions, which brought to the movie a quite scary atmosphere.

So about the story, first of all, a pregnant woman has a car accident, and after she finds out that the baby is dead, she decides to carry on with the pregnancy (all the 9 months). The thing is, once the baby is out, it is in fact alive... but she only feeds on human blood. The mother takes some time to figure that out, but she does everything she can to keep the baby Grace alive. And that's freakin' impressive. Anemic and almost dying, she keeps feeding the child her own blood. And when the grandma tries to take Grace away from her... Oh my.

Overall, i have to admit that this is a movie with a lot to it. It made me cry, and it made me think. So it's definetly a worth-watch.
