Grim (1996)
4/10
Wasn't made by the sci-fi channel.. umm that's a good thing..

I don't typically like cheap horror movies or shall we say cliché but surprisingly I liked this more then I would if it had been made by the sci-fi channel.. (which watching it I realized.. it wasn't a sci-fi channel original because the movie would have been much worse had it been) It actually did have originality unlike a typical sci-fi/horror movie and yah the special effects are just awful (almost looked animated.. yah know before computers) It seemed to me and maybe I'm just wrong but the pacing was terrible, aka there where a lot of useless shots the director couldn't find any thing else to do with.. so he spend 3-5 minutes of celluloid on climbing down a ladder But underneath it all this movie had more heart then your average crap fare.. it had a cave, a sort of interesting premise (call a devil/troll) through a wiji board and sets and or monster looks that where sort of interesting (and sort of terrible) this movie is definitely cheesy and can be appreciated it for it's uniqueness and it's cheese and really not following the formulaic plot lines we expect (there isn't a plot but even for not having one it's.. not formulaic) I also make a note for those interested that this movie has limited bondage scenes; for those looking for it..
