At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

From the grainy camera quality, low lighting throughout most of the film, and the inexplicable happenstance of several Americans living in what is obviously England yet none of them know or are friends with any Brits to the bad acting, horrible dialog and blatant misogyny and sexploitation, this movie gets it all wrong. The special effects are cheesy, lame, and poorly executed. The monster isn't scary at all and it's constant growling and slow, shuffling gate simply do not inspire the fear that the actors melodramatize into quite the laughable display of the world's worst acting. I am so bored by the plot, constant calling to everyone by their name, and the frequent female screaming and whining. There are twenty more minutes of this horrible film left? It just keeps going. Kill me now! I will never get these 88 minutes of my life back.

When I happen to see an awful movie, someone else may say "it's the worst movie I've ever seen". Though I reassure them that Grim holds that title, hands down. The acting, production quality and storyline of that movie were hilariously bad.It's like no other video I've seen, at least in theaters. Thus, I usually compare it to a home video, particularly because of the production quality. It seems that this movie was made by a group of amateur teens who gathered together and decided, "Forget the movie theater, let's make our own movie this week!" Basically, the tagline on the cover for Grim states, "This is no fairytale." That's exactly right, it's crap! Actually, I would recommend seeing this film though because it is HILARIOUS. It's the ultimate "so bad it was funny" movie. My brother and I were on the floor laughing when we saw it years ago, and we still laugh about it to this day.So when you have some time and five bucks for a movie rental, I recommend watching this movie. It's worth it for a good belly laugh!

Just a couple of times in your lifetime, you will come across a movie so bad, so horrendously, appallingly bad, that your eyes will light up and your mouth will start to salivate in the delight of it all.Grim is one of these movies.Right from the opening credits you know it, and by about half way through, you are beyond amusement - your lower lip will hang, slackly separated from your upper one, and your eyes will be vacantly gazing at the screen. Your brain will hate you for watching this movie.The opening credits look like a cheap screensaver, and go on for minutes. No action, typical orchestral horror music, a black screen and some words. Finally, it finishes, and an inexplicable four second shot of some kind of underground stone casket is shown. It looks like polystyrene. The first real scene is the old ouija board trick with a bunch of teenagers in a bedroom. Well, actually, it's two guys in their mid-thirties and some 21-year-old girls, in what looks like a very cold and dark basement. There is no reason for them to be together, to be there, and to not have grown out of using ouija boards.The acting is woeful, the editing looks deliberately shoddy (a few shots run on for about 3 seconds too long, after the action has finished, leaving you awkwardly staring), and the visual effects...well, I don't know whose brainchild the Grim actually was, but I'm guessing he's made of rubber and had a terrible childhood.

'Terror?' What 'terror?' I was walking through Blockbuster one day, and I saw this film box, on VHS, before DVD.Now, I thought this was going to be awesome, almost as good as some great monster movies(i.e Pumpkinhead, the original the sequel sucked).They say subterranean terror. I don't know why. This film didn't even make me jump ONCE. The effects are absolutely h o r r i b l e. The 'monster' looks sooooo fake. I scared more people with my Halloween costume when I was 7. As for the plot.... ugh.*SPOILER ALERT*but don't rent this movie, it sucks.Some really dumb goth teens make this 'monster' wake up through a ouija board. It comes from the ground, and looks like a pile of that $2 horse manure. Anyway, this thing kills these dumb teens and I was rooting for the monster. As for acting... these people REALLY need acting lessons. Maybe psychological help. 1/2 out of *****
