Absolutely brilliant
Borgarkeri
A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Whenever any horror or thriller or mystery movie comes out, I urge to see the movie as soon as possible as these are my utmost favorite genres out there!These genres create much hype for me, so do my expectations from them! Few times I got what I wanted, sometimes unfortunately not!This time it's the latter part!The film starts with a good premise and setting with creepy background score, Even the characters were interesting enough but soon after sometimes! The film kinda fall down! With unnecessary scenes, not enough and well explained background stories of the characters and a kinda dull climax in the end!In BRIEF : * Performances were not so bad nor so good, Just OK enough!* Soundtrack, Ahhh yeah it was good, fits well with the theme.* Plot could have made a big impact but failed to do so!* Slowed down and became boring in bits and pieces in between!* Ending is not convincing enough and seems incomplete or lacks the impact I would preferably say!If you are searching for a Short, One time watch horror film go for it but if you are someone who loves tension building, and interesting one! Skip it!

This is really not a review of the movie as I haven't seen it yet, but I soon will. This is in regards to someones review of Chandler Riggs' acting. How many young actors do you think are perfect from the get go? A lot of times actors have to do what the producer wants. I have watched The Walking Dead over and over, I'm now on my tenth go around. I think Chandler did a very good job of portraying a perfect brat. Are we to say we don't like his acting because we didn't like the way he behaved ? NO, for making the audience hate an actor is actually very good acting. I don't know what your problem is ,but that's your opinion and you're entitled.

Mercy is a horror story that plays on typical human fears with a twist, In quintessential Stephen King fashion.Matt Greenberg adapts King's short story Gramma into the screenplay for the horror film Mercy.George is the undeniable favorite grandson to his grandmother Mercy. His mother along with his brother must act as caretaker when Mercy unexpectedly is stricken ill and requires constant care. Inexplicably odd and mysterious occurrences seem to revolve around his grandmother and George rushes to save her.As a horror fanatic, Stephen King represents the worst aspect of horror. I find his writings and stories to be horridly cliché exasperated by the fact that King so desperately tries to twist and surprise his readers when the ending can be seen a mile away.Interestingly, Mercy is a well paced suspenseful horror in which few stereotypical scares are used until the final reveal. The horror lies in the unveiling of truth through ominous and foreboding layers and well utilized complementary music. Shirley Knight is incredibly creepy as Mercy, the potentially possessed grandmother. The children and characters themselves are smarter than most adults in horror movies.Chandler Riggs is the main character George, and significantly younger in this film than he is on the Walking Dead. This leads me to assume that the film sat shelves for some time before being made available. Mercy doesn't really add anything new to the genre which is probably the explanation but all in all, it is not a terrible horror movie.For more FULL reviews of all the RECENT releases, please check out our WEBSITE.

I must start with this: I love horror movies! I prefer horror movies with demons, ghost, paranormal activities (and not talking to "Paranormal activity" – very bad movie) and etc. This is one of the reasons to watch "Mercy". The trailer of the movie lies. Yes, like most trailers those days, they show the most interesting 2 minutes of the movie. The story is very unoriginal and the movie looks very cheap. It's the typical old house, creepy book, and scary looking grandma movie. Nothing memorable, I would never recommend this film to anyone.Also, the 90% of the movie is so dark, that you can actually imagine your own storyline. Maybe it will be better than original.The other reason for choosing this movie is actually Dylan McDermott. I know him from American Horror Story and I really like him, but in this movie he acts like he doesn't really care about it. Maybe he doesn't really like the movie too. The worst thing in the whole movie is maybe the acting of Chandler Riggs, who plays George. I know him from Walking dead and he is very bad actor. I don't even know why this kid is an actor!? His acting in the movie is very falsely. He saw several dead bodies and never screams. He was acting like everything is okay, but hello there are dead people in front of you! He must learn to distinguish The Walking Dead comedy from serious movies. So the only thing that I really liked in the movie was the cute dog.
