Review of Grace

Grace (I) (2014)
9/10
An Underrated Gem
26 June 2021
I went into this film with low expectations, and after having just watched it, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by this film, and it defiantly deserves higher than a 4.9 rating. Grace: The Possession uses the POV angle in new and exciting ways. I don't want to give anything away as I think this film, like The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield, is better to go in blind. However, I will say that there was never a dull moment. I would also add that this is more of a thriller than a horror. I mean, there are defiantly horror elements within the narrative, but overall it's more of a thriller as the viewer tries to figure out what exactly is happing to grace. Overall the cast is pretty good. Lin Shaye from the Insidious movies is in this as the creepy old Grandma, which seems like perfect casting. Joel David Moore was also a good choice as the aspiring priest Alexis Knapp was the one actor who could have used a little more screen time. She is basically just there to be eye candy and the rival girl as she is in a skimpy outfit and talking about sex or getting high in all of her scenes. And as the story progresses, it becomes clear that her character is kind of pointless, which is sad because she is a great actor. So with that said, it's not a perfect film, but defiantly worth watching.
