Critics Consensus

Dispensing social commentary shrouded in gothic dread, Raging Grace smartly balances its messaging against vivid atmosphere and absorbing character-driven drama.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Peel back the cliches and there’s something interesting here: a gnawing sense of injustice and biting social commentary.

Rated: 3/5

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

Zarcilla strains so hard to match the politics of the premise with the parameters of horror that he ends up diluting both — imagine Roma meets Poltergeist, or The Maid meets Insidious.

Rated: 2/5

Jonathan Romney

Financial Times

Zarcilla may have more ideas than this film can easily accommodate, or the viewer easily swallow, but he is a distinctly stylish and confident director to keep an eye on.

Rated: 3/5

The Asian Cut

Raging Grace is effectively a solid and chilling debut from Zarcilla.

Moving Pictures Film Club

combines sharp social critique with supernatural sentiment, making Raging Grace queasy, creepy and utterly brilliant.

Rated: 5/5

C.H. Newell

Father Son Holy Gore

Paris Zarcilla’s Raging Grace is a powerful, occasionally funny, and dark exploration of how whiteness impacts the lives of immigrants, particularly Filipino immigrants living in the United Kingdom.

Rated: 4.5/5

It was pretty good for awhile but just got too outrageous and ridiculous. The ending was really lame. I'd never want to watch it again. Don't bother.

It's a good horror movie with an underlying message on immigration in the UK. Not wow but okay.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Started off ok, then got really stupid. I really don't understand how anyone could rate this movie beyond anything more than a 1 star. Pure garbage.
