![]() What did you think of the Hulu horror film Grimcutty? Comment below.Escape rooms have become the ultimate real-life gaming sensation in recent years. That is certainly one creative way to divide your audience. The use of ASMR was painful, yet I’m aware many will love it. It tries to send an important message about kids and social media, but it ends up in the spam folder. Overall, Grimcutty is a weak offering to the horror genre. And I guess that’s not a bad thing for a horror movie. Had it been released in theatres, Grimcutty may have likely become infamous for walk-outs. Including an element of internet culture that can trigger such intense and opposing responses was an interesting decision, to say the least. If you’re part of the second group, I’d suggest giving this one a miss. Some people enjoy ASMR videos, they’re popular for a reason, but for others, it’s an almost painful experience. The first 20-minutes and the last five were almost unbearable to watch, so I was forced to mute it. None of the promotional material for this movie prepared me for the amount of ASMR-type scenes included in this film. And due to some bad CGI, the apparition is anything but scary.Īs I mentioned earlier, the film’s main character Asha is an ASMR content creator. But, unlike The Slenderman, Grimcutty comes with a standard-issued creepy face. ![]() ![]() It’s been the case for at least a decade.Īs for the monster, the Grimcutty looks like the popular creepypasta creature, Slenderman, created in the late 2000s on an online forum. Laptops and online access are essential to getting schoolwork done. The idea that all the parents in one community would remove their teenage kids’ laptops altogether because of some 2020s version of the Satanic Panic is beyond preposterous. It’s a movie about parents who don’t understand the internet, made by people who clearly don’t understand the internet. The plot has more holes in it than a wheel of Swiss cheese. The parents are all one-dimensional and beyond irrational. While there’s an interesting premise to this horror flick, the execution is below sub-par. So, of course, they decide the most reasonable solution is to remove all devices from their children and place them in a “detox box.” In reality, the Grimcutty is an actual threat to the town’s kids, but not in the way these parents think. Soon, all the parents in town start talking to their teenagers about something called “the Grimcutty challenge.” No one seems to know what the challenge actually is, yet the parents are convinced their offspring are engaging in self-harm as part of the mysterious online craze. Overprotective parents, Amir and Leah, implemented “phone-free family outings” after their teenage daughter, Asha, quit the track team so she can pursue the glamorous life of an ASMR content creator. Her child manages to escape his room, he’s pursued by the creature and then stabs his mother out of nowhere. She then proceeds to research internet challenges and articles about internet-based anxiety while listening to a fear-mongering podcast on the dangers of the online world. The film starts with a mother who locks her child in his bedroom, seemingly to protect him from the Grimcutty. ![]()
