What if the Grinch went in the other direction, and instead of being accepted and knowing love, he ends up turning into a homicidal maniac who tortures the residents of Whoville Newville? This unofficial entry in the "Grinch" series (never once mentioned by name) is a low-budget pile of dreck starring David Howard Thornton (Terrifier) as the eponymous "green humanoid creature." There is absolutely no redeeming value to it, except to say that you survived watching it. It looks ugly, it's neither funny nor scary, and worst yet, it's just plain boring. Thornton is perfectly capable of inhabiting the Jim Carrey-esque physicality of the character, but he's given nothing interesting to do here. Somehow Cindy You-Know-Who ends up being the more interesting character.
