Audience Members Faint at the Premiere of Horror Film Grace


From slashfilm, [excerpt] Last night, Paul Solet’s horror film Grace was premiered at The Egyptian Theatre, Park City, Utah. During the question and answer session after the film, one of the festival volunteers declared “Must have been a good movie because we had two people faint during the screening”; sometime later, the film’s producer, Adam Green, sent an e-mail to ShockTillYouDrop, thus: “Two faints. One outside and one in the lobby. Egyptian owner confirmed that in 10 years it’s the first time it’s happened. Amazing screening.”

Grace does have a resonant premise with the potential to upset and unsettle deeply: a young woman, played by Jordan Ladd, has an accident in the penultimate month of her pregnancy, sadly resulting in the death of her unborn child. She decides to carry the baby to full term and deliver it, but at birth, the child appears to be miraculously resurrected. Soon she learns that the infant has a taste for human blood. Mother now has to decide what she’s prepared to sacrifice for her daughter.
