Summary of Grace
Grace is a psychological horror film released for DVD in the United States that explores the terrifying boundaries between maternal instinct and supernatural horror.

The story takes a macabre and disturbing turn when a tragic accident occurs, resulting in the death of her unborn child, Grace, while still inside the womb.

As the weeks pass, the tension builds around her deteriorating mental state and the physical reality of her condition. The climax of the film occurs when Madeline finally goes into labor and delivers the infant, only for a terrifying miracle to take place. The baby, which was presumed dead, miraculously returns to life, but it brings with it a ravenous and supernatural appetite that threatens everything in its path.
