DETAILS: For one night only, the USC School of Cinematic Arts & Anchor Bay Entertainment present a special preview screening of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival sensation, GRACE. Following the film, fans will enjoy a rare creative summit with the talent behind the film, including writer-director Paul Solet, star Jordan Ladd, producer Adam Green and key members of the production team.

Since its explosive Sundance premiere, where two members of the audience left the theater in ambulances after fainting from the intensity of the film, GRACE has shocked, thrilled and delighted audiences at festivals around the world, from Sundance, to SXSW, to Brussels, to Gerardmer, where the film was awarded the prestigious Prix du Jury.

Hailed as “downright chilling” by Variety, “a blood-soaked piece of social commentary,” by MSN, and “an unforgettable, emotional and psychological journey into terror,” by Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood, GRACE has emerged among critics as nothing short of a genre phenomenon.

Come join the talents behind one of the most highly anticipated genre films of the year, and watch as a young woman (Ladd, Cabin Fever, Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof) is forced to make a mother’s ultimate decision, when the stillborn child she has carried to term returns to life – with an appetite for something other than milk….
