While a few viewers found fleeting entertainment in its schlocky B-movie chaos, the overwhelming consensus is that 'Chum' represents everything wrong with low-budget, AI-assisted filmmaking.

    I’m not even being hyperbolic when I say this is genuinely one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Also the AI… just pathetic.
