I wonder if Anchor Bay Entertainment will be legally responsible for theater-going injuries? Before they give Paul Solet’s Grace the homevid release, the company will give it a small theatrical launch beforehand on August 14 in New York and Los Angeles, and then release it exactly one month later. Clearly a strategically better way for a smaller film to maximize exposure and not lose momentum in the general four month theatrical to homevid window.
The horror-thriller incapacitated some folks when the movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival – the levels of gore had a couple of people faint during a screening. Starring Jordan Ladd, this is about a mother who carries her dead fetus to term and then gives birth to a live child with an appetite for blood. Programmed at the Fantasia Film Festival, it will continue onto Spain’s Sitges Film Festival.
I was wondering if horror fans who’ve seen the film think that the fainters had weak stomachs or do you think there is indeed a cause for concern?
