Been hearing a lot about this film and I'm glad to see ANCHOR BAY is picking it up. Below is the press release and it pretty much tells you everything you need to know so read up:
An absolute sensation at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival where two people fainted during the film's premiere and a runaway hit on the
international film festival circuit, Paul Solet's Grace will bow September 15,
2009 on DVD and Blu-ray. Grace is an unforgettable emotional and psychological
journey into terror as a young woman (Jordan Ladd, Cabin Fever, Quentin
Tarantino's Death Proof) is forced to make the ultimate maternal sacrifice when
the stillborn child she carried to term returns to life with a horrifying
appetite. Pre-book is August 13, and SRP is $26.97 for the DVD, and $34.97 for
the Blu-ray. Grace is produced by Ingo Volkhammer, Cory Neal, Adam Green and
Kevin DeWalt. Neal and Green are the writing/directing/producing team behind
the contemporary cult classics Hatchet and Spiral.
After years of trying to conceive, Madeline (Ladd) and
Michael Matheson (Stephen Park, Scary Movie 3, The Pink Panther) are finally
about to become parents. But with only weeks to go before delivery, an accident
leaves both Michael and the unborn child dead.Devastated, Madeline decides to carry the child to term and deliver
naturally.What seemed like madness
becomes a miracle when, after delivering a dead child, Madeline finds her baby
is indeed aliv..and hungry. She soon discovers that her baby now named Grace thirsts for something more than mother's milk, and Madeline is determined to
feed her child, no matter the consequences. With nowhere to turn, Madeline must
make a mother's ultimate decision: What will she sacrifice to keep her child
alive?
Grace has wowed and terrified audiences all over the
world. In addition to Sundance, the film was an official selection at the South
by Southwest Festival, the AFI Dallas Film Festival, the Independent Film

Gerardmer Festival Du Fantastique 2009 in
France.
