How is everyone talking shit like it was horror and it was a scary face yet a funny looking character everyone will jump on the bandwagon like smile and say it’s scary when it wasn’t
This seems like a film that would've been improved at least 30% by barely showing the monster on screen. Why is almost every shot of it extremely well lit
@@thelastoffluffs6755 Part of fear is not knowing what you’re dealing with, of the unknown, which is why most horror movies are dark and barely shows the ghost/monster. It doesn’t mean you can’t create fear in daylight or lit places, because you can, but that becomes more psychological because you’d have to tap into the brain’s other fears since the fear of the dark and the unknown is now useless.
I’m surprised I haven’t found any comments bringing up Momo and the momo challenge, considering that seems to be the direct inspiration for this movie. For anyone who doesn’t know/remember, Momo was a picture of someone’s art sculpture that went viral in like 2017-2018 for how effectively creepy it looked. As time went on, the picture became attached to this rumor that a “Momo challenge” was going around tik tok and other websites encouraging kids to self-harm and do various violent acts. It’s pretty vague what the “challenge” was, because it was basically a hoax that only entered public attention through rumors that it existed rather than any actual post or game. Grimcutty is very clearly a worse version of Momo in his facial design, right down to the way the in-movie viral picture is angled. Guess this shows what happens when movie producers try to quickly capitalize on a trend without realizing it’ll be irrelevant before the script is even finished.
Thank You!!!! I was looking for the exact same thing!.. after commenting...I keept scrolling.... Like....how does seemingly nobody know about this?! Haha
If I were to write a horror movie about TikTok challenges, I'd make it a horror *comedy* about a viral challenge where they straightup tell you to kill somebody for clout and the whole joke is that idiots on TikTok would actually do it
i mean, there was that one challenge (i think it was called the Kia challenge???) where people were stealing cars for clout so that isn't too far off base tbh
There was a "kia" challenge some people tried making viral and three teens ended up dying while trying to do it. The challenge was to steal a Kia because in certain models there was a really easy way to unlock from the outside, 4 teens stole the car and crashed it causing three of them to die, one of then was a 14 year old mother
The lanky funny design could have used in "reverse": make him funny on purpose, and build the movie more as a sort of parody of "the summoned evil", then twist it all at the end as he does something truly gruesome, and its funny looks contrast with its actual vicious nature; let this creature grow more as an annoying presence rather than a danger, and only when the protagonist seems to be fed up with it and insults it, or does something to push it away, then it strikes, revealing its true colours while painting the rooms red with the entrails of her family, or something like that. Dunno, the idea of "funny looking supposed monster which is actually dangerous" could be used for such a design, but I am no horror expert.
"showing its true colours while painting the rooms red with the entrails of her family" I like that. Also I like the idea. I feel like I've seen something like it, but I'm blanking on recommendations. I think it's the same kind of thing around a lot of lot of childhood-related tropes and movies, though, or at least a part of them--having something you trusted become turn on you, even if you just trusted it to remain annoying but generally benign.
Love how the kids decide to go to a random party to see if they could find a computer they could use, rather than going to a library, a place that is dedicated to researching things, available to everyone.
Don't forget when the news announced that Pepe the Frog was a far-right white-nationalist symbol! And that people with bumper stickers of popular reaction image "Pedo-Bear" were actual child traffickers reaching out to each other in some sort of underground railroad of memes.
I have seen plenty of movies in which the monster feeds of the fear/anger/suffering of the victims, but I gotta say one in which the monster feeds of the paranoia of the people trying to protect the victims is a pretty creative and terrifying concept. If only the execution was good...
an episode of buffy actually did this too, but with the twist that the monster drives the parents so insane they become MURDEROUS in their protective fervor
The idea really isn't bad. The worst thing for me was that even after finding out how Grimcutty works, Asha keeps on doing dumb things that are guaranteed to fuel her parents' worries.
Fun fact the kid that stabs his mom is one of my old dance students, he was always a really cool kid. I was really excited to actually to see him on a Hulu original
@@Tores444 Yeah. Hopefully. Usually bad movies kill a career. But there is some hope for child actors. (Example: Zackary Arthur played the little brother in the awful movie adaption of the 5th Wave but now he's with starring in the Chucky TV Show as the main lead.)
"hey kids, let's create a situation where you'll be in mortal danger and take away any means of communication if there's an emergency while there's the possibility of a serial killer stalking people." -Horror movie parents
How I saw the movie was that grimcutty wasn’t a challenge but more so making parents think there was a challenge so that they would worry about their kids, which therefore empowered grimcutty. And it was all started by the mom who got stabbed in order to deter it from her kid
This! I feel like all the people who say are saying a movie about a tik tok challenge monster is silly don't seem to understand that there is no tik tok challenge. Even Elvis saying no one actually tries to find out what the challenge is, is wrong because the characters do try to find out and find nothing because it doesn't exist. It's an allegory about parents' paranoia regarding the influence of social media on their kids, and broadly about parents struggling to understand the newer generations.
Seeing grimcutty walking in the side view mirror is serious meme potential. I mean look at the dude just phonk walking up to the car. Edit: nevermind, literally every fucking scene with this monster thing is meme potential
How is everyone talking shit like it was horror and it was a scary face yet a funny looking character everyone will jump on the bandwagon like smile and say it’s scary when it wasn’t
The reason every scene is so funny is because of how seriously they take him. They act like he’s some big threat and film every scene like they’re actually making something good
My favorite scene is when Grimcutty says " Well done kid! Now try my new challenge! Collect all of my sliver coins from around the Grimcutty Domain! You must find 8 from each level and win! And then come back to see me!"
I would like to see a psychological horror film where the monster actually doesn't exist at all, it's just a complex network of various peoples' psychoses working together to create the most elaborate case of mass hysteria via mass hallucination to ever occur within the human experience.
9:02 I'm kinda disappointed that he had to cut out the part about the suicide challenge. I actually learned about it in an abnormal psychology class. It was so horrifying that it even existed. I'm pretty sure the man who came up with the challenge was imprisoned afterwards.

@@user-mAfuNqrSe020x please dont remind me ever again that netflix did an live action death note lol. funny thing is that ryuk still was the best part about this sh*t show.
OH MY GOD. I recently got a subscription to Starplus and this movie WOULD NOT stop showing up on the front page, so on Halloween I finally decided to give it a watch but literally couldn't make it pass like 20 minutes into the movie. AND I COMPLETELY FORGOT I even watched those 20 minutes until I saw this video. No joke, I completely forgot this was even a thing that happened to me no more than four days ago. So thank you, you literally unlocked a memory of something that happened less than half a week ago and THAT I DIDN'T EVEN FINISH.
There's plenty of Tiktoc challenges that are dangerous to the point of lethality, this is less a horror story and more a mocumentary. Still, it's pretty meta that they've used CGI to mimic a monster looking like a puppet on a string.
What I _think_ they tried to do by not explaining the challenge is making a social commentary on how obsession with social media and being online is driving a wedge in many parent/children relationships because neither understand the others stance on it. Iirc the movie at some point establishes that the challenge doesn't actually exist because they can't find it online and I think they try to imply that Grimcutty was born of that blogger moms paranoia for her sons online activity. Maybe I'm being too optimistic here. Either way it falls flat in all aspects. Basically this super distracting hilariously dumb creature design ruins all tension there could have been from the start lol
Yes. I also interpreted it this way. Could have been good if they didn't insist on making it so goofy and maybe giving the creature a sort of origin story. Like Jeff the Killer.
That's actually a smart interpretation. I actually got that feeling from it. And yeah, I do agree with you. The movie falls flat. The monster design was trying too hard to be scary but ended up being hilariously dumb XD And this is one of the cases where a movie should explain some things at least- And more issues I had with it
I mean....it kinda was I thought its a movie thats supposed to be a trash movie but it looks like the movie takes itself serious ....still a good movie to laugh at
I saw the original upload and I loved it... but the way you edit it this time is HILARIOUS MAN, you took a negative situation and made it something positive and very enjoyable, love you man
This is very reminiscent of momo back in 2019. A youth group had to have an emergency meeting because the 7-10 year olds were trying to hurt themselves so momo wouldnt unalive their families
Dude the part at 10:47 where Grimcutty is running was so funny to me. I had to rewatch that several times I couldn’t stop laughing at his goofy ass run.
@@ThisIsRobinY2K I can see what he means about it being awkward but that kinda helps the spook for me because of how he looks, both the way he moves and the way he looks just makes him seem so out of place in the world, I think it's just one of those monsters that invokes different feelings in different people
@@bloodyblacknailsitsnotedgy4360 yeah I think that's why he's creepy to me, feels like he crawled straight out a manga, feel like they could've done something with an illustration coming to life rather than a TikTok challenge they never explain and it'd make just as much sense lmao
did we watch the same movie? They try constantly to find the challenge online but it doesn't exist online because it's created by parent hysteria, the mom from the beginning made grimcutty up as an excuse to cover up her kids self-harm not to tarnish her perfect mom life image
It's interesting that you say the monster looks fake, because that looks like a practical effect. But I think that's part of the problem because it looks like the actor's arms are in the suit's torso and the monster's arms are controlled by puppeteering which is why the arms move so stiffly. Which is a shame because it's rare to see monsters made purely out of practical effects these days.
The design of Grimcutty is kinda unsettling actually. Not scary, but just enough weird to makes me slightly uncomfortable, that's probably due to the practical effects, I like it !
Upclose and when its not moving, yes, it's a little unsettling. But then it walks on two legs like Gru and that makes it funny as hell. If I were John Ross, I'd follow the "Happy Death Day" route and make a part 2 that is intentionally funny to capitalize on this movie that was meant to be scary but turned out funny.
Fun fact for those who don’t know, this movie is based on this creepypasta challenge thingy called the MOMO challenge, a challenge that dares Kids to harm themselves while recording themselves (I think that’s what it is I don’t know) every parent were upset at it so UA-cam, deleted all the MOMO challenge videos, and now you can’t make a video talking about MOMO, that’s right if you even say the name while showing an image of it on your video, it’s gonna get demonetize, the only way to surpass it is to maybe just show a picture and don’t say the name of it, there was also going to be a Momo movie, but there’s no updates of that
This movie plays better if you've had to deal with parents and their children in any kind of education environment. Parents can be 110% insane and unhinged when it comes to their kids and the concept of a "monster" being fueled by irrational parental responses, but the parents not being able to stop being irrational is a shockingly valid plot device.
We have grimm cutty in Albania. We call him kar gjilpere. He works pretty much like in this movie but hasn't been a problem for many years as parents know how to manage him. They probably got inspiration from here.
Fun fact: There was a short anime series called Paranoia Agent (created by Satoshi Kon of Perfect Blue fame) that handles similar themes in a much better way from a time before TikTok.
I get the feeling that someone wanted to make like a SCP kinda horror movie, but like had no idea. The creature being powered by the parents paranoia is a good hook (i think there's a Buffy episode where some creatures get the parents to hunt Witches by invoking a Hansel and Gretel story), but you have to tie that in with the creature, it's behavior and the so called challenge. An interesting idea is there IS NO CHALLENGE, Grimcutty and it's challenge are a figment of the PARENTS imagination: they hear about it from other parents, and being American Helicopter parents they quickly try to find out if their kids are into this "Grimcutty nonsense," the side effect is the kids come away from the interactions curious about it, so they search it out. All they really find is parent blogs freaking out about it, with all sorts of crazy ideas about what the "Challenge" is, so of course they go on TikTok and try and "recreate" a challenge that only exists in overprotective parent's brains, starting a vicious cycle where the parents continue to over react to this supposed meme that they are in fact responsible for. Somewhere in that, the creature is born, it manifests to kids whose parents think they have "done the challenge", so detoxing the kids does nothing, as the paranoid parents are the real threat. Did I just fix the movie?
The premise of this movie sounds like it was inspired by an actual meme that caused parents to freak out. The meme was called the “Momo Challenge” which was based off a sculpture someone made of a creepy looking lady.
As a Brazilian, this Grimcutty challenge reminds me a lot of the 2015 or 2016 Blue Whale challenge, a real internet challenge with a bunch of questions each involving hurting yourself and doing worse and worse things until the last one is y'know
I think the design they went for was Ryuk from death note. The smile and the body colour and the body shape fits but holy heck he doesn't look like he can scare some high schoolers or even a kid with that design in the movie
Although, I see where you would say that..and it could be possibly some of that....but given the nature of the story...I am almost positive it's based on Momo.
Something about the oversized mouth, not even its smile or something just large mouths on things gives me chills? Same with that pale lady thing that absorbs that guy from scary stories to tell in the dark, it makes it so much worse when the face is like kinda animated and not just a mask, not saying the grimussy scares me, just makes me uncomfortable lol
the fact that the main image they used for this film on Hulu was in fact an old fanart piece of Jeff the killer,obviously the design and concept was inspiring by him,slenderman and momo,just shows the type of movie this was gonna be lmao
I think you missed the idea of the movie. The parents are the ones that cause Grim to appear. The parents' paranoia is what cause the children to get hurt by the monster but the parents think it's the internet challenge.
Funny thing is, in brazil the movie is called "o meme do mal" which translated to english, means "the evil meme" (I was born in brazil, i watched the movie here and that was the name, search it up if you want lmao)
I think the point of the grimcutty challenge is hurting yourself. They make reference to it multiple times in the movie. Parents think that the injuries the monster makes in the kids is actually the kids doing it to themselves. Its not that the kids don't research it, it's that there's nothing on it online because there is no challenge. There's only references to it because the original "grimcutty challenge" never really existed. It was made up by the blogger.
The movie is supposed to be about her parents bringing the grimcutty into the house. Their attempts to protect their kids backfires. They blame it on the challenge but the kids don't even know what the challenge is. Their parents obsession is what is harming their kids. So many layers
Any horror movie that relies on visuals to make something scary is just not scary anymore. Like a more mysterious lovecraft type horror always makes me scary cause they’re mysterious and they convey it with storytelling instead of shoving goofy looking monsters in your face
the monster thing only appeared when the parents were angry, the kid trying to kill his mom was his way of stopping the monster. yeah is kinda stupid but that was the plot.
Honestly it would have been really interesting if the Grimcutty acted as a representation for the fear and pressure to do such dangerous challenges. Like if Grimcutty was more of an inner demon that one has to mentality fight and overcome. I mean yeah it probably wouldn’t have been good, but it would probably be a bit more interesting.
There actually is a reason for why the grimcutty only targets Asha at certain points. The Grimcutty targets kids depending if there parents are paranoia. Also the mom starts believing Asha because she sees Grimcutty lifting the kid in the air (which to her looks like the kid is levitating which causes her to believe the daughter.) I’m not saying the movie is good but it at least does try to give explanations.
I was watching smth on hulu at like 2 am and I saw an add for this and I almost had a damn heart attack but now looking back at it I realized that I was scared of a chucky looking gru thing…

I love the fact that you can see where people replay the video the most. If there's an ad in the video, the most replayed part is always right after the ad ends.
Grimcutty looks like the spirit halloween store costume version of Ryuk from Death Note.

Lil Grim
Lil' Cutty
Kid cudi lol , so real
It sounds a lot like kid cudi
I saw a trailer for this, and I thought it'd be a perfect comedy to watch with friends.
I mean....it kinda was
I thought its a movie thats supposed to be a trash movie but it looks like the movie takes itself serious ....still a good movie to laugh at
As a zoomer i will give you props on 100% accuracy with the “Grimbussy” joke
The Babadook became a gay icon, "Grimbussy" is completely within the realm of possibility.
this movie also perfectly displays why monsters in horror movies almost never run
Let’s not forget we are getting a big budget movie about a meme “cocaine bear”
Someone just thought of a coolish sounding word in the shower and had the means to turn it into a movie
It sounds like a name a rapper would take
@@siegwardinspirit facts lol
Name wise... Yeah.... It's like they were trying to make it sound scary.. but the concept is definitely based on the whole Momo thing.
I find this movie so strange thinking about grimcutty. You can you knock him over and he can`t do shit
He gets right back up. She stabs him knocks him down he gets back up.
@@shadowdouglas450 He won’t get right du from a Dying Light style dropkick tho
I saw the original upload and I loved it... but the way you edit it this time is HILARIOUS MAN, you took a negative situation and made it something positive and very enjoyable, love you man
This is very reminiscent of momo back in 2019. A youth group had to have an emergency meeting because the 7-10 year olds were trying to hurt themselves so momo wouldnt unalive their families
Dude the part at 10:47 where Grimcutty is running was so funny to me. I had to rewatch that several times I couldn’t stop laughing at his goofy ass run.
I love his walk cycle its so goofy
I gotta be honest I kinda like the monster design in this movie, gives a weird manga feel
Yeah same honestly
@@ThisIsRobinY2K I can see what he means about it being awkward but that kinda helps the spook for me because of how he looks, both the way he moves and the way he looks just makes him seem so out of place in the world, I think it's just one of those monsters that invokes different feelings in different people
dude kinda looks like Ryuk
@@bloodyblacknailsitsnotedgy4360 yeah I think that's why he's creepy to me, feels like he crawled straight out a manga, feel like they could've done something with an illustration coming to life rather than a TikTok challenge they never explain and it'd make just as much sense lmao
it kinda looks like bootleg ryuk
The "bababooey" sends me every time.
Is he censoring a word by replacing it with that?
did we watch the same movie? They try constantly to find the challenge online but it doesn't exist online because it's created by parent hysteria, the mom from the beginning made grimcutty up as an excuse to cover up her kids self-harm not to tarnish her perfect mom life image
Yeah feels like he didn't even watch the movie or paid attention
5:32 Because it is not like accidents happen, nor any type of crimes where a Phone might save their child's life.
It's interesting that you say the monster looks fake, because that looks like a practical effect. But I think that's part of the problem because it looks like the actor's arms are in the suit's torso and the monster's arms are controlled by puppeteering which is why the arms move so stiffly. Which is a shame because it's rare to see monsters made purely out of practical effects these days.
The power of the grimbussy was too strong for youtube to handle it
The whole thing reminded me of a short horror movie that just stretched waaaaay too long.
17:02 Don’t you dare disrespect Ephemeral Rift like that
1:32
Grimcutty looks like Gru from Despicable Me. Grucutty.
Grim cutty vskid cudi rap battle
The design of Grimcutty is kinda unsettling actually. Not scary, but just enough weird to makes me slightly uncomfortable, that's probably due to the practical effects, I like it !
Upclose and when its not moving, yes, it's a little unsettling. But then it walks on two legs like Gru and that makes it funny as hell.
If I were John Ross, I'd follow the "Happy Death Day" route and make a part 2 that is intentionally funny to capitalize on this movie that was meant to be scary but turned out funny.
I'll watch it again and again. Not just because Elvis deserves it but because it's like spitting in the face of UA-cam for messing with creators.
I like that the monster was a practical effect though, even if it’s a goofy looking practical effect
Fun fact for those who don’t know, this movie is based on this creepypasta challenge thingy called the MOMO challenge, a challenge that dares Kids to harm themselves while recording themselves (I think that’s what it is I don’t know) every parent were upset at it so UA-cam, deleted all the MOMO challenge videos, and now you can’t make a video talking about MOMO, that’s right if you even say the name while showing an image of it on your video, it’s gonna get demonetize, the only way to surpass it is to maybe just show a picture and don’t say the name of it, there was also going to be a Momo movie, but there’s no updates of that
This movie plays better if you've had to deal with parents and their children in any kind of education environment. Parents can be 110% insane and unhinged when it comes to their kids and the concept of a "monster" being fueled by irrational parental responses, but the parents not being able to stop being irrational is a shockingly valid plot device.
Watched that film with a friend on halloween. The jumpscares killed us and the „scary scenes“ killed us from laughter
I can't wait for the sequel Grimcutty vs Slimshady lol.
5:58
Literally the most sane character in any of this
We have grimm cutty in Albania. We call him kar gjilpere. He works pretty much like in this movie but hasn't been a problem for many years as parents know how to manage him. They probably got inspiration from here.
Fun fact: There was a short anime series called Paranoia Agent (created by Satoshi Kon of Perfect Blue fame) that handles similar themes in a much better way from a time before TikTok.
I get the feeling that someone wanted to make like a SCP kinda horror movie, but like had no idea.
The creature being powered by the parents paranoia is a good hook (i think there's a Buffy episode where some creatures get the parents to hunt Witches by invoking a Hansel and Gretel story), but you have to tie that in with the creature, it's behavior and the so called challenge.
An interesting idea is there IS NO CHALLENGE, Grimcutty and it's challenge are a figment of the PARENTS imagination: they hear about it from other parents, and being American Helicopter parents they quickly try to find out if their kids are into this "Grimcutty nonsense," the side effect is the kids come away from the interactions curious about it, so they search it out. All they really find is parent blogs freaking out about it, with all sorts of crazy ideas about what the "Challenge" is, so of course they go on TikTok and try and "recreate" a challenge that only exists in overprotective parent's brains, starting a vicious cycle where the parents continue to over react to this supposed meme that they are in fact responsible for. Somewhere in that, the creature is born, it manifests to kids whose parents think they have "done the challenge", so detoxing the kids does nothing, as the paranoid parents are the real threat.
Did I just fix the movie?
Pretty sure Grimbussy is something you go to the proctologist for
The premise of this movie sounds like it was inspired by an actual meme that caused parents to freak out. The meme was called the “Momo Challenge” which was based off a sculpture someone made of a creepy looking lady.
"they don't explain the name" what do you mean, it is grim, it do the cutty, self-explanatory
"Hey mom can we get the Babadook?"
"We have the Babadook at home."
As a Brazilian, this Grimcutty challenge reminds me a lot of the 2015 or 2016 Blue Whale challenge, a real internet challenge with a bunch of questions each involving hurting yourself and doing worse and worse things until the last one is y'know
what does being Brazilian have to do with it 💀
I think the design they went for was Ryuk from death note. The smile and the body colour and the body shape fits but holy heck he doesn't look like he can scare some high schoolers or even a kid with that design in the movie
Although, I see where you would say that..and it could be possibly some of that....but given the nature of the story...I am almost positive it's based on Momo.
@@Starr_Apathy No momo looks like a disfigured human whereas this thing doesn't look human like at all
Something about the oversized mouth, not even its smile or something just large mouths on things gives me chills? Same with that pale lady thing that absorbs that guy from scary stories to tell in the dark, it makes it so much worse when the face is like kinda animated and not just a mask, not saying the grimussy scares me, just makes me uncomfortable lol
the fact that the main image they used for this film on Hulu was in fact an old fanart piece of Jeff the killer,obviously the design and concept was inspiring by him,slenderman and momo,just shows the type of movie this was gonna be lmao
I think you missed the idea of the movie. The parents are the ones that cause Grim to appear. The parents' paranoia is what cause the children to get hurt by the monster but the parents think it's the internet challenge.
A re-upload? Well damn, just another reason to rewatch the video, it's not like I wouldn't have done it anyway 😂
Grimcutty sounds like a rap name. its first album about to go platinum
0:41 "a tik tok challenge that kills you"
That sounds like every tik tok challenge
The monster looks like what happens when you randomize the character settings in ARK
Funny thing is, in brazil the movie is called "o meme do mal" which translated to english, means "the evil meme"
(I was born in brazil, i watched the movie here and that was the name, search it up if you want lmao)
I think the point of the grimcutty challenge is hurting yourself. They make reference to it multiple times in the movie. Parents think that the injuries the monster makes in the kids is actually the kids doing it to themselves. Its not that the kids don't research it, it's that there's nothing on it online because there is no challenge. There's only references to it because the original "grimcutty challenge" never really existed. It was made up by the blogger.
"A tiktok challenge that kills you" man thats not even a horror story, thats just real
I never thought I’d hear him say grimbussy this truly is a video of all time
The movie is supposed to be about her parents bringing the grimcutty into the house. Their attempts to protect their kids backfires. They blame it on the challenge but the kids don't even know what the challenge is. Their parents obsession is what is harming their kids. So many layers
Any horror movie that relies on visuals to make something scary is just not scary anymore. Like a more mysterious lovecraft type horror always makes me scary cause they’re mysterious and they convey it with storytelling instead of shoving goofy looking monsters in your face
Is it just me or is Grimcutty kinda adorable?
The bababooie part is hilarious 😂
What word is he censoring?
the director looked up the momo challenge hoax and was like "aight lemme make a movie of this real quick"
Grimcutty: feeds on parents anxiety and anger
The orphan: I see this as a total win
the monster thing only appeared when the parents were angry, the kid trying to kill his mom was his way of stopping the monster.
yeah is kinda stupid but that was the plot.
Honestly it would have been really interesting if the Grimcutty acted as a representation for the fear and pressure to do such dangerous challenges. Like if Grimcutty was more of an inner demon that one has to mentality fight and overcome. I mean yeah it probably wouldn’t have been good, but it would probably be a bit more interesting.
Ahhh watchable Elvis content!
Sponsor ends at 5:09
NOT “Oh no it’s Grimcutty, don’t let him touch your Grimbussy.”!?! 😂😂😂
Can't wait for the sequel about the child of grimcutty: kid cutty
There actually is a reason for why the grimcutty only targets Asha at certain points. The Grimcutty targets kids depending if there parents are paranoia. Also the mom starts believing Asha because she sees Grimcutty lifting the kid in the air (which to her looks like the kid is levitating which causes her to believe the daughter.) I’m not saying the movie is good but it at least does try to give explanations.
Grimcutty looks like a joke version of a real villain that would be in one of those Epic Movie-esque parodies.
It's like a joke version of Momo
Literally looks like if Hulu did a live action adaptation of an Anime
Please no
Grimcutty is clearly a hulked out Momosan.
I was watching smth on hulu at like 2 am and I saw an add for this and I almost had a damn heart attack but now looking back at it I realized that I was scared of a chucky looking gru thing…
A movie about a TikTok trend that kills you?
Didn't know the Tide pod challenge was back.
But…the first upload was great lol
I watched it way much since it was first uploaded. Despite the demonetization, please keep up your content that had the original passion , and fun
I think this is their portrayal of the "blue whale" challenge that forced teenagers to end their life
The "Momo challenge" was a retarded rehash of that hoax. News media was dumb enough to scare parents with it. lol
Man, That "Bababuy" with sepukku image got me, its perfect
Is he censoring a word by replacing it with that?
I love the fact that you can see where people replay the video the most. If there's an ad in the video, the most replayed part is always right after the ad ends.
