Last month I posted my "Top 10 upcoming movies of 2014" so, I came up with the idea to post reviews entitled "Bucket List" followed by the movies name because the movies on my list are just like a bucket list, at least for a horror movie fan like me. This was my second most anticipated horror movie of the year. Keep on reading or scroll down for my thoughts on Grace: The Possession.
Synopsis
Grace: The Possession, a story told
like never before through the eyes of the possessed. Alexia Fast (Jack Reacher)
is Grace: a naive, beautiful, virginal college freshman trying to deal with
campus culture and her outgoing new roommate. But when a terror takes over her
body and unleashes chaos, Grace returns to the cold clutches of her severe
grandmother (Lin Shaye) and the strict rules of the church. Haunted by the
horrific death of her mother and deeply ingrained, destructive urges, she must
stop the demon inside before it’s too late.
Grace: The Possession is a horror
movie that is like no other. Being introduced to a new sub-genre may not always
work out for the audience or even the movie’s popularity but it worked perfectly
for me. First person is a sub-genre I am not used to watching, especially in
the horror industry; excluding horror video games that is.
The director of Grace: The Possession did an amazing
job with making the point of view realistic. From the difficulty of looking at
the sun to the blurred vision of being intoxicated; it was all perfectly thought out. I especially liked how the
movie began; it started as a regular movie and the viewer got to see who the
star of the movie was, then it changes to make the viewer themselves, the star. The only other time the viewer gets to see the appearance of the star is when she is infront of a mirror; which happens quite often.
There are a lot of plot twists within this movie and
I enjoyed every bit of it. One of the biggest plot twists, in my opinion, involves the viewer; which is exciting and unexpected. Within the first ten minutes I got scared and it did
not stop there. The scares were endless and it was not like your typically
horror movie clichés either; they were very unique and different. In a way the
scares were realistic at least for me being the viewer/star; obviously for
everyone it will be different but for me it was perfect.
Many horror movies that were released this year and
even last year did not reach my expectations as a horror movie fan but Grace:
The Possession did; it was a unique and new change from the clichés I am used
to seeing.
I highly recommend Grace: The Possession to all
horror movies fans/enthusiasts and anyone else who is willing to watch. Especially if you are a fan of Blumhouse Productions (i.e. Sinister, Insidious,The Purge, etc.)
RATING: 10/10
Don’t let the demons bite or do, YOU FREAKS!!!
