Well, if you’re going to make a socio-political satire
horror film, taking a shot at the gig economy is a great way to do it. In an
age where satire is essentially dead, thanks to real-world events that could
not possibly be any dumber, it’s nice to see a film like Grind succeed
at being successfully funny and manage to be creatively empowered to have
something to say while doing it. It helps that the talent in front of and
behind the camera are working with the same spirit and tenacity to make it all
work, but Grind manages to blend comedy and horror in some refreshingly
fun and smart ways. Each story in this anthology has its own distinctive voice
without betraying the film's overall intention, and the combination proves to
be lethally hilarious.
