“The movieu0026#39;s poster/cover was what initially lured me in, because it was definitely an interesting design. And I do enjoy horror movies quite a lot, so it took very little convincing to get me to sit down to watch u0026quot;The Gracefield Incidentu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI must admit that the storyline told in u0026quot;The Gracefield Incidentu0026quot; was rather intense. So writer Mathieu Ratthe really managed to put together something quite interesting. And I will say that as a director then Mathieu Ratthe was also quite adept at keeping the audience in the dark as to what was actually going on throughout the course of the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe creature design was rather impressive and believable, which really worked in favor of the movie. Because having a movie as intense and suspenseful as u0026quot;The Gracefield Incidentu0026quot; turned out to be, then having less than adequate creatures would be a fatal flaw once unleashed on the screen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting in the movie was quite good, and the actors and actresses had a lot of weight riding on their shoulders, as the cast ensemble was rather small. So everyone had to perform quite well to carry the movie, and luckily they did.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne thing that stuck out like a sore thumb and a thing that I definitely didnu0026#39;t like, was the found footage approach that director and writer Mathieu Ratthe opted to go for with this movie. It was a real shame, because the shaky camera that is all over the place is so annoying and it takes away so much from the enjoyment of the movie for me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;The Gracefield Incidentu0026quot; turned out to be a rather entertaining movie, but the found footage and shaky camera destroyed it for me. u0026quot;The Gracefield Incidentu0026quot; could have been so much more if director and writer Mathieu Ratthe had opted to go for a regular movie format.”
