Wouldn't be surprised if someone made a movie about a killer NFT
you just had to go and say it out loud lol, I'm coming back here to slap you when it's announced in 6 months 😏
Give it time....
they already had an NFT show and movie, I actually believe this'll be a thing
Lmao that's such a good idea
It's just a matter of time
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
even the icon for it on hulu is a close up of the monster
Yea it would have better if we didn't get a good look at it.
you're right, everyone knows we can't have a scary scene when it's not dark! 😲
@@thelastoffluffs6755 THAT'S NOT WHAT THE FUCKING COMMENT SAID
@@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.
Grimcutty looks like the spirit halloween store costume version of Ryuk from Death Note.
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
I was thinking multiverse death note 😂
Walmart/Ohio Ryuk
Hahahaha that is great!
Ryuk and the puppet from jigsaw
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 movie is not that bad at all tbh.
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.
@awetistic5295 cause telling them what's going on worked really well huh 😂, they totally believed her thru the entire movie didn't they?
I love the moment when Grimcutty caught the female victim and said ,,It’s Grimcuttin’ Time” then Grimcutted all over her. Sends chills down my spine.
Grimcussy
I love the grimussy
*GrimBussy* 😋
grimcummy
He hit the grimgriddy
They broke a cardinal rule of horror movies: never show your monster up front in the beginning. Always keep it in the shadows.
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.
Was digging through the comments looking for someone to mention Momo.
I've been waiting for this comment, even my mom was tryna take away peppa pig and shit cause of momo
Thank You!!!! I was looking for the exact same thing!.. after commenting...I keept scrolling.... Like....how does seemingly nobody know about this?! Haha
I thought it was partially inspired by Slenderman with the design and premise
Wait what? That was a thing with Momo? I only thought it was a picture going around there was actually a "challenge" associated with it?
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
that honestly sounds like it'd be gold tbh
And the main characters are smart
@@Lunar.phant0m2 They're smart but they don't use social media so then they have to figure out what TikTok is and what is going on
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 news causing mass hysteria over a video making fun of a fake ass challenge is honestly the most realistic part of the movie 😂
Especially if it comes from CNN, just like the OK hand gesture thing.
@@Acueil most successful long-running troll in history. People STILL fall for it 😂
Just like the nyquil chicken 😂 Noone was actually eating it, it was only satire
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.
@@TheBestAsbestos13 Pepe the Frog? Oh, you mean the Grinch wearing a mask holding a gun?
Cutty for me gives me both fear and joy, you can't hate the guy, just look at him waddle.
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.
Cassidy asked Asha about the computers in the library, however she said she'd already checked them but they were disconnected.
grimcutty looks like a funny character that would fit into a movie, but not a horror movie
He looks like he belongs into a parody like Scary Movie
He’d fit in a tim burton movie
@@siegwardinspirit so true....the whole movie i thought it would be a perfect trashy looking parody monster from a horror movie for scary movie
I admire when puppets are used instead of Purley cgi
Trollface.
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.
You should watch Killer Clowns From Outer Space.
"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.
So killer klowns art the clown and pennywise?
@@oblivionfan345Tony it’s called terrifier
@@unrated6266 that's it! Thank you!
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
Word? Word
Bro, congrats!!
Aw that’s sweet
Well hopefully this leads him to work on more and better stuff
@@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.)
The face itself could work, but when it showed the full body, i instantly understood why you said it's goofy
"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
Right, Elvis didn't really get that concept tbh
Exactly how I understood it
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.
OH, that actually makes a lot of sense
sort of like that one momo challenge
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
Timestamp?
I think 4.50 "Wonderful." Has far more 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
Ay, whoop whoop fam
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
I like how the monster looks...not like he's scary but the design itself has an appeal to me. I would watch him in a Beetlejuice type film.
he has that nightmare before Christmas character Vibe to him imo it's pretty neat but just doesn't work for the purpose of the film
I love when the Grimcutty turned and winked at the camera and said "I'm gonna Grim Cut em'!"
"It's Grimmin' time"
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!"
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.
Could you tell me more? It sounds interesting
I'd like to know more too
@@Necromancer0225 Look up Momo challenge or Blue Whale Challenge. The guy who reportedly started the Blue whale challenge was arrested but not imprisoned, the charges were dropped.
@@fluffycheshire977 that's fucked
@@fluffycheshire977 oh I've heard something about this, thanks
When Elvis' videos are so entertaining that you don't mind watching them multiple times
i feel like you can snap Grimcutty's arms and legs just by hitting it.
I’m sorry, but any time you say his name I can’t stop hearing “Kid Kudi”. 😂
Grim Cutty sounds like one of the most successful sound cloud rappers of all time ngl
Grim boi cutty
Lil Grim
Lil' Cutty
the grimcutty creature just looks like it´s a straight up parodie of something else in some new "scary movie" movie lol.
@@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.
I'm pretty sure it came from Momo.
The scariest part about these pure schlock of movies is knowing someone injured their violin to make the jumpscare noise
this movie also perfectly displays why monsters in horror movies almost never run
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.
The "bababooey" sends me every time.
Let’s not forget we are getting a big budget movie about a meme “cocaine bear”
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.
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.
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.
Wait it's CGI ?? I though it was just low budget practical effect, it's even more disappointing then
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.
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.
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 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
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.
5:58
Literally the most sane character in any of this
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 power of the grimbussy was too strong for youtube to handle it
I like that the monster was a practical effect though, even if it’s a goofy looking practical effect
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
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
that's actually a very smart interperatation of it. What I thought was that they were trying to make some kind of Momo thing.
If they explained their themes better that could be a fun movie
That's what I picked up. I thought it was a trash version of The Babadook in a way.
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
Grimcutty sounds like a rap name. its first album about to go platinum
Pretty sure Grimbussy is something you go to the proctologist for
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.
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
The bababooie part is hilarious 😂
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
The whole thing reminded me of a short horror movie that just stretched waaaaay too long.
I can't wait for the sequel Grimcutty vs Slimshady lol.
6:12 im kinda glad they didnt say what the challenge was exactly. we already had to deal with momo, i dont want another wave of people fearmongering online using Grimcutty
The entitlement of the teens in this movie, when it came to their phones being taken away for a bit... was the scariest part!
HA!
A re-upload? Well damn, just another reason to rewatch the video, it's not like I wouldn't have done it anyway 😂
"A tiktok challenge that kills you" man thats not even a horror story, thats just real
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 director looked up the momo challenge hoax and was like "aight lemme make a movie of this real quick"
I do have to admit, the idea of an entity that draws its power from paranoia and whatnot is rather original compared to most horror films, and the grimcutty's appearance is actually somewhat freaky looking- but that's about as much praise as I can give it :/
Usually in horror movies they feed off fear instead of paranoia
@@willhuey I know that's what I like about how this has a touch more originality to it ^^
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.
Grimcutty: feeds on parents anxiety and anger
The orphan: I see this as a total win
Is it just me or is Grimcutty kinda adorable?
I never thought I’d hear him say grimbussy this truly is a video of all time
Watched that film with a friend on halloween. The jumpscares killed us and the „scary scenes“ killed us from laughter
0:41 "a tik tok challenge that kills you"
That sounds like every tik tok challenge
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'll watch it again and again. Not just because Elvis deserves it but because it's like spitting in the face of CZcams for messing with creators.
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
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.
A movie about a TikTok trend that kills you?
Didn't know the Tide pod challenge was back.
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.
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.
I love how during the ad when he said “wonderful” it looked like he was gonna cry
Literally looks like if Hulu did a live action adaptation of an Anime
Please no
im glad i was able to watch it before the re edit, and im coming back to drop a like to support our favorite alien.
The fact that you put a misfits clips in at 6:30 gets a like from me. Better yet it’s their new video too!
I liked the part where the grimcutty said “it’s grimcuttin’ time” and then proceeded to touch everyone’s grimbussy. Truly one of the horror movies of all time
Holy crap that spam bot was perfect for this comment 😂
Can't wait for the sequel about the child of grimcutty: kid cutty
Ahhh watchable Elvis content!
Seeing the main character made me remember Prey. That movie went so hard and I’d like to see a review on this channel
I actually really appreciate that he made a playlist of all his commentary videos very cool makes my life a little easier
I have to praise your editing, it never fails to catch me off guard and make me laugh
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
I am shocked there isn’t a rapper with the name Grimcutty
I actually really enjoyed the movie. The characters were pleasant, the monster was goofy but still pretty grotesque and the premise built on parents' hysteria was pretty interesting too.
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.
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
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
1:32
Grimcutty looks like Gru from Despicable Me. Grucutty.
Man, That "Bababuy" with sepukku image got me, its perfect
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
Legends watched the first version and is going to watch this one.
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.
6:43 she's reading The Yellow Wallpaper - truly the best way to reaffirm to the watcher that "this is a horror movie"
honestly there is a whole japanese horror vibe to the actual monster, but it doesnt feel like they even bothered trying to lean in to how fake the monster is, and that they thought it was scary on its own. if they leaned in to the whole doll-like look of the monster, maybe it couldve been slightly intimidating, but nope.
I literally just got finished watching it a week ago and as soon as I got done, I was looking up if Elvis the alien got a video about this😂
Can't tell you how hard "Grimbussy" had me laughing lmao
There was something like this that happened in 2018-19. It was called the momo challenge. Obviously, it wasn’t nearly as bad, but it did share the same themes of a social media challenge that would lead to self harm.
