Grimcutty

This isn't the worst movie I've seen recently, but like most movies coming out these it's just not good. There's a kernel of a good idea here that just is never fully developed in order to get to a quick resolution that doesn't have any kind of logic behind it.

The characters just don't have anything to make them unique or make you care. I've noticed this in almost all the movies I've seen from the last few years. Writers have forgotten how to write compelling characters we care about. Nobody has any personality and characters are just introduced with no backstory like we're supposed to just naturally connect with them. This is one of my biggest pet peeves in film these days. You can get around a lot of bad writing and low budgets if you just have compelling characters and good actors. The craft has been lost.

The plot is basic and tries to carry some message about parents getting over protective about technology and social media trends, but it just doesn't land. None of the plot points are developed well and the story jumps from point A to point D and never explains how we got there. This was obviously put together with no passion just to get something out there. Lazy

The horror elements are PG at most. We never see much of anything. The monster looks ridiculous more than scary. Again some of this could have worked if anyone cared enough to put a little time and effort in.

All in all this goes in the trash heap of streamer movies. It's obvious that with the streaming wars in full force the goal for all of them is just to have a mountain of content. It doesn't matter if any of it is actually good. Just rush out a bunch of amateurish content to show how much you have to offer. It's just all so bad.

Not the worst movie but not worth wasting time on and will be forgotten before I finish typing this.

The storyline is good, the acting is decent, the cinematography is even done well. The reason it didn't get at least 8 stars? The "Grimcutty" character looked like a 5 year old with a creation app made it on the fly one day. It looks so incredibly fake that I couldn't take it seriously. It honestly looks like someone took Gru from the Minions movies and got him possessed by a demon. I can better appreciate a horror monster that looks like it COULD be real - this was done terribly...I have seen better and more realistic Halloween costumes.

I ONLY recommend this movie on the chance that you can ignore how crappy the villian is. As I stated above, good plotline, good camera work and decent acting...they just lost the ball with the title character.

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.

"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.
