Raging Grace
genres:
A bold coming-of-rage story. Joy is an undocumented Filipina immigrant who is struggling to do the best she can for her daughter when she secures the perfect job; taking care of an extremely wealthy but terminal old man. The new position pays well and guarantees a roof over their heads but very soon, Joy and her daughter Grace start to realize everything is not as it seems. Something is festering beneath the surface, threatening all they have worked for.
RAGING GRACE explores the ultimate sacrifices of migrant workers and provides an exceptional social commentary on race and colonialism. Ultimately, it's a head-turning and twisty thriller, expertly crafted by an exciting new voice in the horror genre, UK-born Filipino director Paris Zarcilla, who would garner two SXSW Jury Awards for Best Film and Best Debut. Full of haunted house scares, reminiscent of classic Hammer Horror, and relevant and timely social critiques, ala Jordan Peele's GET OUT, RAGING GRACE is one of the most effective horror films of the year!
