The synopsis for the 2022 horror movie "Grotesque" sounded interesting enough to get my attention. And with this movie being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen or heard, of course I opted to sit down and watch it.
Writer and director Brandon Rhiness was on to something here, because the movie had potential. However, it was just held back by being a low budget production I think. I found "Grotesque" to be watchable enough for what it turned out to be, but the movie wasn't particularly memorable or outstanding.
The acting performances in the movie were a bag of mixed nuts; some performances were good, while others were amateurish and sort of toe-curling to behold. And that just added to the permeating feel of low budget and home-made movie project that "Grotesque" had going on for it. I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list.
"Grotesque" is a low-key movie in terms of special effects, because there practically weren't any in the movie. So you're not in for a grand spectacle of special effects and impressive slayings either, and that was a shame.
If you are an avid horror fan you might get an ounce of entertainment out of "Grotesque", but don't get your hopes up.
My rating of "Grotesque" lands on a four out of ten stars.

I saw this described as a horror comedy on tubi and thats exactly what it is. Its the story of a woman bullyed for her looks who finally has enough and snaps. She almost becomes a superhero in a way with other people who have been bullyed to cheering her on. This movie is a low budget so it starts off slow and it has its rough patches but it is exactly what it is. It is funny and it's gross when the woman chops and slashes her way to revenge. It doesnt stack up to a hollywood budget film but it was really good and I was pulling for her too. While this is a low-budget film, it starts slowly and has some shaky spots, but it is exactly what it is. As the lady cuts and hacks her way to vengeance, it's both hilarious and disgusting. That doesn't compare to a Hollywood budget film, but it was extremely nice, and I was rooting for her as well.
I went into this with little to no expectations, but I had a fantastic time. It reminds me of something I'd write when I was 14, but I mean that in a positive way. It's so silly and so fun to watch. Mildred is an amazing main character, you root for her because everyone else is so awful and she's got some great lines and delivery. There are a few lines that are a bit cringe ("hello cruel world!") but for the most part this has good, snappy writing. I love the nonchalant reactions everyone has to her killing people, especially at the end. And for having a lower budget, I think it looks pretty good too! A lot of the shots and sets give off a nice atmosphere. The kills were so over the top I couldn't help but laugh, this whole thing is so camp. My only complaint is that I wish we could've seen Mildred kill those gangsters who botched her surgery. That felt like a weird add-on, especially when it was never addressed again. But overall, I loved it. Not a movie for everyone, but definitely a movie for me.
This is clearly a B-Movie, and for people who love a certain kind of bad horror film, this is really great. The actors clearly had fun with their roles too, which I think added to the fun and the charm this film had. The acting wasn't the best, but nothing felt stiff or awkward.
Like the humour is obviously dark, but honestly it was a fun horror comedy that didn't take itself too seriously.
The plot was basic, but honestly satisfying, like you really rooted for the lead character, and her murder spree. So it's not going to be the best film you will see, but if its the kind of thing you'd go for. I think you'd have a lot of fun with.

This is a pretty forgettable movie from the start, really. The movie tries to make them threatening through their brutality, but it just didn't really work for me. I'm not exactly sure why, but it might have something to do with the performances.
The movie has a surprising amount of plot to it, and the story continues beyond the point where you might expect it to end. Again, it doesn't really work for me. It's just not all that interesting.
This movie is definitely watchable, but it is very forgettable. Its attempts at becoming sort of a legal thriller really don't work. And the actual ending is embarrassing; there's no way around that.
