Yael Tygiel of Collider included Grimcutty in their "Best Movies on Hulu Right Now" list, and described it as a "grizzly and terrifying movie." [8] Mike Mack of Laughing Place called the film a "fine watch if you’re looking for something new," complimenting the story and the performances of the actors. [9] Sean Shuman of MovieWeb asserted, "Grimcutty may not be a perfect movie, but it's an interesting encapsulation of just how quickly misinformation can wreak havoc, even if it's spread with good intentions." [10] Johnny Loftus of Decider said, "It’s too long, and a character checking a phone or their email will never be as compelling to watch as Hollywood wants it to be. But Grimcutty has a strong cast in its favor, and derives some scary-adjacent chills from setting its main baddie loose to grimly grab at teens in trouble." [11]
Matt Donato of Paste gave Grimcutty a grade of 5.5 out of 10, and said the film "works itself backward into a forgettable cyber-folktale fate." [12] Shrija Ganguly of Sportskeeda stated that Grimcutty has "some good horror content," and complimented the performance of Usman Ally, but stated that the film has too many loopholes. [13] Lindsay Traves of Pajiba asserted that the film is "born of an interesting idea," but said that the execution was "unfortunately boring." [14] Kyle McWilliams of Mashable said that the "scares are overshadowed by over-explanation," writing, "If the movie trusted its audience more in collecting the thematic goods, there could be space to discover even deeper horrors within the depths of online culture. Instead, the spoon-feeding approach kills the thrills and the fun." [15]
Joe Lipsett of Bloody Disgusting gave the film a grade of 2 out of 5 and complimented the performance of Sara Wolfkind, but called it a "messy film, complete with substantial logic gaps, more than one scenery-chewing performance, and a run time that isn’t earned by its relatively thin, repetitive script." [16] Brian Costello of Common Sense Media gave Grimcutty a grade of 2 out of 5, said the presence of positive messages is almost non-existent, and noted the absence of positive role models across the characters. [17] Loric C. of Ready Steady Cut gave Grimcutty a grade of 1.5 out of 5 and found the movie to be a "weak offering to the horror genre." [18]
