Grace (2009). Not your typical horror flick, it was not really scary but instead disturbing. The story was pretty good overall. This movie really captured the gritty realities of some of the more overlooked aspects of a life when it turns messy. The direction was very good from a relative newcomer. The acting was fine, and the camerawork was pretty fun, especially with the use of focus. Fairly gory and very unsettling, i wouldn't recommend this to pregnant gals or those with young children.
Paranormal Activity (2007). i thought this one to be genuinely fearful. i watched it just before going to sleep, which was perfect for effect. i think much of the scare factor here comes from making that which is mundane into a potential time of terror. Good stuff. .

i don't think so, but they may have hijacked the basic concept of a possessed doll from them. BDV was pretty much an over the top sexploitation piece with no boundaries. It was kinda a "so bad its fun" thing; it did have a couple of hilarious moments.
