Grimcutty

I wish IMDB had a way to rate a movie in more ways than one.

For instance, this movie, as a horror, gets a 3. And that's me being generous.

If however, I could rate it as a comedy, I'd give it a 7.

The way Hollywood producers are going about things nowadays, I'm pretty sure they'd like this option as well. Anything for better reviews, right boys?

Its just a mess full of stereotypes, miscasting, and poor production all around.

I'm glad that the people who worked on it were able to make a living while doing so. At least the cast and crew being able to pay their bills for a few months/weeks are some good that came out of this.

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 don't know if this was some millennial attempt at being modern and hip to old boring same-ol-same-ol horror tropes. To their credit, it was well mad cinematicly, the writing didn't hurt, and the acting wasn't as bad as most horror films of this nature. The narration being done in ASMR knocked off most of the stars from my rating. It was like Chinese water torture on my ears. I had to mute the tv and read the subtitles at one point. It was so distracting trying to remember most of the rest of the movie when it ended in a "dramatic" monologue addressed to the audience and their parents. All in ASMR whispering and finger rubbing. I just couldn't.

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.

"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.
