One day, Madeline, who’s in her eighth month of pregnancy, feels sharp pain in her chest and is rushed to the hospital. On her way home, she meets a terrible accident and realizes her child inside her is dead. With two previous miscarriages, she becomes pathologically obsessed with the dead child, insisting on having it at the end of her term. And the day arrives. Madeline gives a birth to a dead girl named Grace, whose stillbirth leads to an inconceivable event: The child is, somehow, alive! Of course, this is only the beginning of nightmares to come. How far can the mom go for her “Baby Zombie”? Produced as a feature edition of the same-titled short film which created buzz at the 2005 PiFan, the 2006 NYC Horror Film Festival, and may more events, Grace (2009/III) combines three themes befuddling the director Paul SOLET — vegetarianism, lesbianism, and motherhood. It reminds us of the postpartum depression portrayed in LEE Su Yeon’s The Uninvited, zooming in on the double-sided mother-child instinct and desire: the mom will do anything to feed her child, and the child will feed on anything to survive.
