Raging Grace
An undocumented Filipina immigrant lands a job as a careworker for a seemingly terminal old man, securing a better life for her and her daughter. But a dark discovery threatens to destroy everything she’s strived for and holds dear.
Why it matters
A tense, socially conscious horror-thriller that uses the immigrant caretaker experience as a lens on exploitation and unseen violence.
- Rooted in real-world anxieties around undocumented status and economic precarity, grounding its supernatural elements in lived trauma.
- Max Eigenmann delivers a quietly powerful performance as Joy, embodying desperation without cliché.
- The film’s creeping dread builds through atmosphere and slow reveals, favoring psychological unease over jump scares.
- Fans of folk-inflected psychological horror and socially aware genre fare like "The Night House" or "His House" will find sharp thematic resonance here.
