Joel Copling Spectrum Culture The Grove doesn’t have a story so much as it has an idea, and come to think of it, it doesn’t have much of an idea, either. Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Alejandro Turdó Hoy Sale Cine To some, The Grove may be far from perfect, but fans of the genre will probably get a kick out of it once things get in motion. And the unexpected cliffhanger leaves us wondering if maybe there is more to come in the future. Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Tony Asankomah GhMovieFreak It is an interesting indie effort that genre fans might find engaging. Rated: 6.5/10 Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Ronak Kotecha ReviewRon Like its title, the film ends up providing a generous Grove of cheap thrills Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Sydney B For context, I went to go see the movie in theaters with my boyfriend. There were 4 people there, including us. In the first hour, one guy packed his stuff and left. 30 minutes later with no plot development, nothing scary, and straight fluff my boyfriend and I packed up and left, as we were leaving the last person in the theater said to us “I don’t blame you” . Worst 24 dollars spent ever, I have never left a movie theater but at that point doing literally anything else was better than watching this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review T M It seems this film was put together as afterthought from an actual weekend at the cabins from the “Friend who knows people in the industry”. I’ve seen many low-budget films around the world (Dr. Boonme, anyone?), with actors who have no experience that was still able to get a story across. This film was 95% fluff, 3% music promotion, 1% CGI, and 1% storyline. These other RT reviews are clearly paid for, with many having the exact same ending on their reviews (a shame for actual good films). Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review billy M This has got to be one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Luckily we went to a place that serves food because that’s about how long we stayed to watch it (through the meal) its stars off with some vague insight of a horror film but mixes up with goofy music and random genres of mixed up soundtracks that make literally no sense. Also what the hell was the actor form Martin doing hanging out with a bunch of young no named actors looked like gramps trying to kick it with some college kids. He’s prob the only recognisable “actors” in the film cause that word and the discretion of this movie don’t really fit or go together when describing this flix! We walked out and just shook our heads. Don’t waste your time definitely pick another film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Bruce M Absolutely one of the worst movies I've ever seen Nothing in this is good, from the out-of-focus, hand-held cinematography, the non-existent editing, the pacing, the acting, to the poor lighting. When the ninja shows up at the end and shoots flames out of his hands... just, wow. Most annoying was the clearly improvised dialog. You've seen movies that are so bad they're good, but this is so bad it's bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Chuck R Love the storyline. An intriguing concept that weaves together the story of a soldier with experimentalist logic. It felt like watching two plots in one movie! The acting was solid with some talented actors. It' s a watch from me Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Saul V For the first time in my life, I walked out of a movie theater. The plot is interesting, although regurgitated in other mediums. Here are my main critiques: 1. Too dark. I had to squint hard watching some scenes of this movie, it needs the brightness to go up. 2. Unecessary scenes. There were many, but especially the out of focus, shaky gas station scene. 3. Drawn out. Multiple scenes felt too drawn out. 4. Sound felt weird throughout the whole movie, not sure if that was a cinematic effect but it felt like poorly edited. 5. The acting and the generic characters was off putting.
