Grace: The Possession

A POV possession is a great premise but they severely missed the mark here.

The acting is atrocious and cheesy and I laughed at most of it.

Don't bother.

Yeah so the movie is in POV and sometimes it seems like it's going to be OKish but then it's not. Especially the end. It's pretty lame. That's pretty much it.

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")

Or POV in this case ... if I'm not mistaken the Maniac remake with Elijah Wood was around the same time this came out ... maybe a bit later. So this camera thing seemed to be the flavor of the month for a bit. Like a found footage with a twist sort of thing I reckon.

Having said that, this has quite the interesting cast to boost. Of course you can never compare any movie to the Exorcist. Or rather you shouldn't - whatever movie you take and try to compare with one of best movies ever (not just in the horror genre) ... it's going to lose for sure.

Having said that, this is a decent low budget effort - once you wrapped your head around the style it was shot - no pun intended.

Wasn't terrible, but the first half was better than the second. The whole exorcism bit felt a bit overplayed and took away from the eeriness of the film.
