The Devil's Mercy

This movie was so boring. It's only an hour and a half long. But it dragged on and on and on and felt like three to four hours.

About the first two minutes of it when they were arriving in the new neighborhood, I thought it was going to get interesting. But it never did.

The writing was bad and the acting was bad also. It was never scary. None of the 'scary things' they did in it were actually scary. They were just boring.

Even the ending scene was boring. It made me feel cheated. Because I actually bought the DVD of this. That's nine dollars and an hour and a half of my life that I'll never get back.

Take my advice and don't waste your time on this one!

This movie really sucks. I do not know how a person could call it a thriller. The history is ridiculous. You can only find a little piece of thriller on the final parts. This movie has 1 hour and 30 minutes. At 1:10, I thought I was really watching the wrong movie. There was no fear. There was no thriller history. When I saw the last scene, I laughed a lot. It was really ridiculous how this movie ends -- starts... and you know, everything. I won't recommend this trash to anyone. It's a really trash-triller from Hollywood suburbs. I cannot believe a person who liked this movie. It's kinda boring. I've never seen those actors and actresses before. This movie is a big joke.

Few times I have seen such mediocrity, horror not at all scary, uninspired and in general very ugly, then the acting performances do not help as they are also very mediocre. Moreover, the film is unlikely to be banal following the very classic dictates of cheap horror, thus creating a very boring film that does nothing but follow the manual on how to make a strongly banal and mediocre horror. Moreover, the film is very boring and drags the viewer into its slow atmosphere and a sickly improbability as even the reactions of many characters are useless and stupid many times. Another not insignificant thing is the very horrendous final from the evil does not end here.

Stephen Rea seems to be making quite the career of propping up low budget horrors like this and OUT OF THE DARK, although it's hardly the illustrious kind of filmography he'd probably hoped for at the outset of his career. THE DEVIL'S MERCY is one of the most awful of all low budget horrors that I've seen lately.

It's your usual run-of-the-mill haunted house nonsense, shot in the dark for most of the time so you won't be bored by the on-screen antics because you won't even see them. Rea plays the supporting role of a sinister father who lives next door to a family new to the area (this central family is the most boring ever, with bad acting all round). THE DEVIL'S MERCY is one of those films that's so cheap it needs to do everything by the power of suggestion, which means that there's little action or incident up on screen. Sadly, due to the inefficiency of the filming techniques, it turns out to be one of the worst ever.

This film is ridiculous, boring and i think that i've been losing my time during just about ninety minutes.The synopsis doesn't exist because there are many things about the theme that aren't explained.The acting is bad, and the end is simply...quick and silly, because all is ridiculous and i don't feel fear in any moment.I read other comments and i think like luisfelipe: this film is the worst joke that someone can do.The only actor that i recognise is Stephen Rea, but everything in this film is disastrous, including his acting. My desire: i want that a second part never exist...because i think in all the people viewing again a history like this...and i will be very sad. Devil's Mercy:the worst film i saw in my life.
