Goodnight, Gracie

About This Movie

Goodnight, Gracie is a low-budget horror that manages to create a haunting atmosphere through its simplicity. The film follows a devout child who, after being jolted awake by her mother's scream, finds herself in a nightmarish scenario where she has to confront terrifying forces. The pacing is deliberately slow, building tension as the child navigates a house filled with dread. What stands out here are the practical effects, which, while not groundbreaking, feel grounded and add a layer of authenticity to the horror. The performances, especially by the child actor, lend an unsettling earnestness to the story. It’s a film that thrives on its mood rather than overt scares.
