Grimcutty

"I'm not gonna give up my phone. They can't just take our phones away, that's fascist. We'll go to the police if we have to."

Yep...that is an actual line in this movie quoted verbatim, and that's not even the worst of it. Whoever wrote this, needs to find something else to do with their time. Whoever greenlit this, needs to be fired, black listed, and never be allowed to have anything to do with any movie ever again for the rest of time.

Acting...terrible. Cast...terrible. Script...terrible. I think you get my point by now. I'm not just hatin' on this either, look at all the other reviews. They're all saying practically the same thing. I will say, the Grimcutty is kinda freaky looking and it was nice to see that it wasn't CGI. In fact, that's the only reason I didn't one star this is because I'm old school and I prefer real life special effects and real life props over CGI.

If I don't stop here and now, I'll never be able to. This movie is an atrocious pile of steaming dung and should be thrown in a pit and buried and viewed by no one ever unless looking for a unique way to torture someone. This is a prime example of why today's youth is just a giant doomsday that will end everything as we know it in the near future. Skip this movie unless you're into inflicting pain and torture on yourself.

From the beginning this movie is just not good. From the scene of the gurl whispering while making a video to the very end the movie is just painful.

I can only assume that it was trying to be some big meaningful movie that taught someone a lesson about something but it just doesn't work.

None of the characters are believable, none and I do mean none of the acting is good. The script is ridiculous and the delivery is between wooden and plastic.

The story itself doesn't make any sense and is not fully explained. Characters are unlikable and do things no person would ever do.

The "Creature" design is terrible and the effects were barely passable.

I was reminded in parts of "Death Note" and "The Babadook" so I'm guessing the writer has seen those movies but paid no attention to what made them work.

I can't recommend this movie at all. It deserves the low rating and hopefully will vanish quickly.

This film feels like it was written by the same kind of people that tried to get rock and metal banned in the US in the 80's. It's a Tipper Gore level of ignorant writing that sees itself as relevant to the times without understanding how obnoxiously tone-deaf it really is.

Thanks to the agitating writing and script, every character is its own flavor of an annoying idiot. Everyone feels like a parody, or the way a modern day Karen might view normal people through their own narrow and skewed point of view. Nobody makes rational decisions, everyone is an uncomfortable level of weird, and the film as a whole feels like a high budget advertisement for ASMR, which just makes ASMR more annoying than it already was.

As much as I thought that this might be ok it seemed to be a wasted opportunity. Shannyn Sossamon couldn't save this mess even thought she was great to watch. The flip she made at the end was worth the wait. However The father of the main character was more scary than the over produced 'scary' villain. He was a painfully bad actor and never quite nailed the anxious parnet. Save your time and just give this a miss. Or better still watch the first ten minutes and then skip to the las ten. I felt like this made it bearable to watch and process. While this was a miss it does get points for diversity the main character were brown with non mainstream names. However I wonder if this was another stab at ethnic standards and 'controlled kids' I'll give it the the benefit of the doubt.

I did not watch the trailer for this movie and went off the main synopsis, so I went into this movie blind. After watching Grimcutty (2022) I can say it was an interesting horror movie, but it was not great.

The main idea of the movie was good, and I liked the idea it went into of how kids or teens can be affected by digital media. The Grimcutty meme or challenge in the movie shows how dumb challenges or memes online cannot be good for kids and/or teens.

The design of the Grimcutty monster was a little creepy but I also laughed at it because I thought it looked silly. The effects on it were hard to tell if it was CGI, someone in a suit, or a mixture of both.

The acting is not great and some of the performances can be over the top when they are trying to act chaotic. There are also scenes that I thought were not needed or were not used right, while also sometimes not having much of an explanation.

Grimcutty (2022) was not that good, but it did have some promising ideas. They just needed better acting and not take something silly looking too serious.
