GazerRise Fantastic!

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

foutainoflife This wasn't scary. Maybe for the younger crowds it might have been but not for someone who is looking for a true horror scare. It would be nice if someone could bring something new to the table.

verethyl 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.

RevRonster I'm not going to say that I sought this film out because I like the source material it was adapted from or because I'm a horror nut—I watched it because Carl Grimes was the lead and I wanted to see how Chandler Riggs handled being in a scary movie and wanted to see him in a product where people don't beat the heck out of the dead horse that is "Get in the house, Carl" jokes. And I have to say, he was good in it...too bad I didn't care for the film as a whole.The story in "Mercy" is decent and works for an average horror outing. The film also does a great job by not wasting any of its time with pointless or weak scare moments like having Riggs walking slowly towards a sound only to find a cat jump out of nowhere. Nope, instead, the film just unleashes hell during the final act and it works. The film also sets a good pace with unfolding and never drags itself down with needless exposition and back-story. Everything you need to know is informed when it feels right and moves along at a good pace. Even the acting is really good in the film and all the players did their roles perfectly.The only thing I didn't care for—and it ended up hurting the film a lot—was the fact the film gets too dark at points. I don't mean the film is too intense or hard to endure, I mean the film is too dark in the fact I couldn't see what was going on a lot of the time. When the movie hits its wild, supernatural-smothered climax and the demon is loose and doing its dark magic and threatening Chandler Rigg's character with death and torture, the movie has so much darkness and shadow to it that it was hard to see what was happening. Entire sequences would play out where I couldn't tell what Rigg's character was doing and it ended up hurting the end of the film bad—and the sad part is the ending was shaping up so nicely."Mercy" isn't terrible or hard to watch (well, it's hard to watch in the fact I couldn't see anything at parts) but awful lighting made the most exciting part of the film confusing and more distracting than anything. Everything about this film seems to be working but having your climax play out in mostly darkness and being almost impossible to see really ended up hurting the potential this film had.Hi! My name is Rev. Ron and if you would like to read more of my rants, ramblings, geek references, bad jokes, and other movie reviews (like a more in-depth look at "Mercy" and other movies that involve demons, grandmothers, and Carl Grimes) you can visit my blog at revronmovies.blogspot.com. If you don't want to do that because I said the "Get in the house, Carl" jokes are old and that makes you mad at me, you don't need to visit but understand that I still love the Coral Memes with Rick telling Carl bad jokes.

Red_Identity The acting from this is decent. The kid from The Walking Dead fares pretty well, definitely better than in The Walking Dead (although how much I hate him there is really only because of his horrible character and less because of his acting). I just think the film is really, really unoriginal. Well I guess making it a grandma gives it some originality points, but hey. The score is way too loud at times, and the climax sort of weak. Still, it's never boring (although at no point does it ever really achieve entertainment to a very high level). This is maybe recommended to some, maybe not to others. Overall, nothing too memorable.
