Grimcutty is a surprising, terrifying, fun creature feature, and beneath the skin, there’s an upsetting, pulsing heart of trauma and pain.

Grimcutty has a strong cast in its favor, and derives some scary-adjacent chills from setting its main baddie loose to grimly grab at teens in trouble.

Yes, parents and kids need to be mindful of the problems that can arise with technology and especially with the mental and emotional well-being of teens, but this goofy-looking monster and uneven story aren't the best vehicles to deliver that message.

A comically out-of-touch Internet fable, Grimcutty is dull at best, borderline unwatchable at worst... About as enjoyable as eating Tide Pods.

Without so much “on the nose” exposition, I might have left the film feeling more in awe, rather than feeling as if I had left a class lecture.

Stick your landing, not your opening—Grimcutty works itself backward into a forgettable cyber-folktale fate.

This movie was not worth the watch. The CGI for the Grimcutty was terrible, the acting felt weak, and the characters weren't worth caring about. The story felt rushed and the ending was extremely weak. You can skip this one.

Truly one of the films of all time. I'd say "so bad it'd good" but it's more like "so bad your teacher would force you to watch it". Bad acting and worse special effects come straight out of a playstation 2, the dad's eyebrows truly had the most emotion out of anything in the whole film. Came off like an internet safety PSA from 2015 and talked itself into a corner with unnecessary exposition and explanation. The half a star is for the one jumpscare, which did actually get me. 10/10, would hate-watch again

Oh boy was this bad, its a try hard IT rip off but with a fraction of the budget. Terrible acting, the man who plays the father couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. The special FX themselves were gross looking. This film feels like it was made by the elderly to warn us that "phones are bad". Some of the things that happen in this film I kept saying would never happen in real life such as the parents sitting the kids down talking about grimcutty and the grimcutty party etc. this film was just pure crap don't bother with this if you have a choice.

Changed my life. For a shitty movie it truly stayed with me for years. It’s all me and my friend can talk about. We quote this movie daily. Truly a must watch, though you will be disappointed(in a good way).

A idéia é até interessante, mas a execução foi péssima. O monstro é da Pixar, e o roteiro feito para classificação livre.
