Did anyone else see clips of this on 'Totally Out of Control'?


Some years ago on either the Learning Channel or the Discovery Channel, there was a series of three or so specials called "Totally Out of Control," one of which dealt with people being so. In between stories, there were clips from this movie during two short critiques of violence in film and on television. I didn't know which movie it was at the time; actually, I just recently found out. I just knew that from the clips shown, I had to see this movie, no matter how bad it was, and after seeing a trailer for it upon having found a twenty-movie collection for five dollars, I knew I had finally found it.

And yes, bad it definitely is. But I must admit that the clips they showed from "Grim" on "Totally Out of Control" were actually rather frightening. They showed the chained girl's eyes glowing while she smiled evilly, the monster swinging a meat cleaver, the monster's face up close, two women on the pentagram getting threatened, skulls embedded in the cavern walls, and the guy holding the glowing amulet, much of which was done in slow motion.

Regrettably, it was more frightening on "Totally Out of Control" than it was in the movie "Grim" itself. I was heckling it about half-way through and started falling asleep during the other half. I will admit that the monster makeup was done pretty well, though.
