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.

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.

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.

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.

I was on a flight with no internet and thats the sole reason I did not drop it in the first 20 mins. Can’t remember the last time I watched such an unwatchable film PS made an account on RT only to post this. That’s how bad it was

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