Grimcutty

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.
