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.

Common Sense Media

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.

Rated: 2/5

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

Rated: 1/5

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.

If i had to describe this movie in one word, it would be 'cringe'. It was honestly so difficult to sit through this movie.

Waste of time. I fast forward through most of 2nd half. I was hoping Asha would die already. Sure dragged it out. Thank goodness for FF

Honestly not as bad as I was expecting. I liked the premise of it- I do feel it was a little too in your face with the storyline and relation to real life events (based on internet challenges) it could have been more subtle for sure. The acting honestly was quite good! The scripting also didn't make me massively cringe in anyway, all in all I think it was a good pass of time, I wouldn't watch it again but definitely don't regret the time watching it. It wasn't actually scary (at least not to me) but I think could be a good one for non horror fans wanting an innocent scare.
