Woof. Today's review was a bad one. 1996's Grim is a film I should have loved - but definitely did not.

Grim (1996)
This one is going to be brief, because frankly, there's not much to say about Grim (1996) , other than it's bad. And not in a 'so bad it's good' sort of way, but just in a 'it's tedious' sort of way. Boring. It's boring. The characters are boring, the narrative is boring and the eponymous Temu Rawhead Rex that everything revolves around is also boring - which is probably the most damning thing about the film. If the monster is boring, what are you even doing? The annoying thing is there's a lot of potential here: a distinctly European-style ogre imprisoned in a West Virginia mine is a wild concept.
