an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This is one of the movie that gives me a pleasant movie experience and like in a game of a first person view. I felt like i'm with Grace throughout in the movie too.. I love it.. Its not about the scariness but this film captured my feelings for it.. I watch lots of Exorcism or Possession films, this film is a new experience for me on such films.. Really appreciate the work of all the people who are involve in this film. The actors also do well in their role.. The only thing this film need to improve is the advertisement. I feel lots of people are not aware about this movie.. I dunno about what others think about this film but to me i give it a 10 stars here to support the creators, actors and actress. Good job!

The eighteen year-old Grace (Alexia Fast) is a Catholic teenager raised by her grandmother Helen (Lin Shaye) since her mother died giving birth to her and her father is unknown. Grace joins the university and has frequent blackouts. The doctor diagnoses her and tells that she might have a mental condition, suggesting her to visit a psychiatrist. However the pious Helen brings her granddaughter home and forces her to frequent the church. Soon Grace discovers hidden secrets from her mother and the priests tell that evil is inside her."Grace" is a boring, unoriginal and lame low-budget horror movie of exorcism. The movie is destroyed by the awful and irritating camera work. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "O Mistério de Grace" ("The Mystery of Grace")

This is the first POV movie I have seen (that hasn't included a video camera anyway). I was a tad skeptical at first given how they had done it, but after the first half an hour I was completely absorbed into the movie. I could feel her emotions and smile at her small victories...The producers did absolutely wonderfully with this. I fell in love with Grace and I will watch this movie over and over and over just to see her cute little shy moments where she fondles with her dress. I don't like this just for the sake of it being a horror movie. I love it because it pulls you by the hand through Grace's journey. From the beginning where it seems all cute and lovely, like what you would see in one of them teen movies and then slowly but surely, it introduces the horrors, but slowly. It doesn't throw them at you, it entwines you through them and this makes for a fantastic movie. It takes a lot for me to want to watch a horror a second time - this is definitely worth the watch.

OK so this is YET another possession movie. The afflicted here is an innocent church going girl who is stalked by a malevolent force.The Good (or nice): No nudity. Tastefullly executed camera work which eliminates the need for nudity which is quite common in this genre.The Bad (or annoying): the movie is a POV movie i.e. you see events from the eyes of the protagonist. This tactic - while interesting, doesn't make up for the shallow script and storyline.The Ugly (or boring): There is NOTHING original about this movie. It is greatly inspired by The Exorcism of Emily Rose - right from the College Campus locale to events happening on campus. The 'take me instead' is borrowed from The Exorcist - end scene. Also similar to Anthony Hopkins' - The Rite (where an exorcist is possessed). The cruel Grand Mother is borrowed from the similar religiously deranged character from the Carrie movie (carrie's mother).I'm upset that they never explained what the malevolent force/entity was. They never really explained much about the Protagonist's mother - until the very end - which kind of explains why the mother denies God in the beginning of the movie. But nothing more than that. The story is shallow and lacking. They could've added some layers to the characters - so we feel something for them and understand - why they are the way they are. Though, the characters are kinda bland.OK, so avoid this movie at all costs - if you've seen any of the movies I've cited. if you've never seen any possession type movie - then you may watch this movie - keeping in mind - that you should have extremely low entertainment expectations.
