Reviews:

The Grinn is a smartly written, well acted indie film. Of that there is no question. Is it scary? Maybe not physical shock scare-wise… but mentally and emotionally… yes. It is definitely a winner.” Indy Red

“Although this is an independent lower budget movie, and you can tell it is… the script/story is excellent and anyone with a heart will be drawn into this character’s story. It is a smartly written and thoroughly engaging story full of realism, intense emotions, relationship and mental issues of young adults.” Tina Willis
