When I was making my list of Halloween movies, I saw the title Grimcutty. For some reason, it made me think of the Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty. When I finally got to see the thumbnail art on Hulu, I realized that Grimcutty is nothing like Gritty. It is very, very different.

A new meme is sweeping the internet. Kids are watching videos about Grimcutty then cutting themselves, sometimes to the point of suicide. As the parents in town start to worry more, they lock away all of the family technology. But, somehow, kids are injuring themselves more and more every day. What is the real cause of the Grimcutty problem?

Unexpectedly, Grimcutty may be the best horror movie that I have watched this entire Halloween season. Not only did it have the right amount of mystery, it was also true to the fear that parents feel when they read articles about all of the terrible things kids come across on the internet. The story kept both me and my husband wondering exactly where it was going for most of the movie. When we realized what was happening, I was actually happy it wasn’t something else. It’s not very often that I can say that a movie’s twist makes me happy.

Grimcutty is absolutely a movie you should watch. Especially if you have kids. Everyone can relate to the characters in some way but parents will walk away with a very important lesson learned. And it’s a lesson that I think every single parent should learn.
