I thought that Grace was Ok. I think that I probably would have liked it more if I didn't have high expectations based on some rave reviews it got on here.
Honestly - Loved the concept. Very Rosemary's Baby meets Ray Bradbury's The Small Assassin.
HOWEVER
I honestly think that it could have pushed the envelope more. I feel as though it was trying to be really "shocking," but didn't quite make it there. It could be that I'm desensitized, but I REALLY think that it could have pushed the envelope even more to make it a delightfully icky film.
...
Other than that, I would bump District 9 off the list entirely (it was really only 1/3 a good movie) and bump up Trick 'r Treat. Also, I really have a hard time believing that The Orphan was any good... Or, well THAT good.
Has anyone seen it?
With the rave reviews that movies like Mum and Dad, Martyrs, and Antichrist have gotten, I have to roll my eyes at that list a bit.
Then again, those aforementioned movies might actually have been released prior to 2009 in their respective homelands, but only made it to the US this past year. I'm too lazy to go figure it out for myself.
Also - I think there should definitely be a shout out to Tokyo Gore Police.
But, ultimately, NE is right: It's Fearnet. It'll only go after the popular horror movies and only the MOST Popular of the cult ones.
