Grace (2014)

Grace (2014) has the rare nerve to put you inside its heroine’s skin, using a first-person perspective that turns every flirtation, every party, every uneasy silence into something intimate and unnervingly immediate. It plays like a collision between campus coming-of-age anxiety and possession horror, where the scares don’t just jump at you—they creep in through the cracks of identity, shame, and peer pressure. Alexia Fast makes Grace’s naiveté feel real rather than performative, and the film’s momentum comes from watching her try to keep a grip on herself as the vibe shifts from awkwardly comedic to genuinely chaotic. If you prefer your horror subtle and slow-burn, this one’s more visceral and confrontational, but for viewers who like their thrills bold, subjective, and a little unhinged, it’s a nasty little ride that lingers.

Grace (2014) seems like it wants to be a gritty, first-person campus-possession horror ride, but the version you’re likely to get plays more like a low-budget character spiral with a horror label slapped on. The tone is uneven and the story can feel confused about what it’s actually about, so if you’re expecting clear supernatural rules, steady scares, or a tight thriller engine, you may end up frustrated. On the other hand, if you’re open to a rough-edged, intimate perspective piece that leans more on discomfort and disorientation than polished horror set pieces, there are flashes of atmosphere and commitment that might still land for you. Consider it if you like experimental POV storytelling and don’t mind ambiguity; skip it if you want a clean, satisfying horror payoff.
