Grace is a 2009 American horror film written and directed by Paul Solet, based on the 2006 short film of the same name. The short film was used to obtain the feature version's funding.
Michael Matheson (Stephen Park) and his pregnant wife Madeline Matheson (Jordan Ladd) are involved in a car accident. Michael passes away, and doctors tell Madeline that her unborn child is dead as well. Madeline, desperate after trying to have a child for years, decides to carry her baby to term anyway. The child, a girl, initially appears stillborn. After a while, though, she seems to revive, and Madeline names her "Grace". Soon it becomes clear that something is wrong with the baby. She develops smells that are not healthy, attracts flies, and craves blood.
