The rating is mainly for the visuals. They are solid throughout the film.
The film is a drama. Not comedy. Very lite thriller. Some horror. Mostly, a dramatic story.
Also, each victim of the slashing portion each had a reason to be slashed.

LOL +1 Star for the Lovely Opening Sequence of the Movie! There's nothing like a good elimination of assh%$s.
-1 Star we're at about the 2/3 point and I am bored.
Okay it got more interesting!!!
+1 Star for going just a little bit nuts!!!! :)
And after watching 2 movies the last couple days where people got shot and still managed to run around chasing each other and climbing mountains and whatnot, this is refreshing to see a bit more accurate depiction of what gunshots do to people.
Okay I was nonplussed about the ending. Could have been better
But this is NOT a horror movie. Not at all.
An interestingly told tale about a sociopath. Done pretty well. 6/10

From the opening narration to the twee overacting, it was hard to take any message on board from this film. It felt like the film betrayed itself and went out of its way to provide gratuitous violence. I'm not personally against violence in films but it seemed badly used.
The characters became annoying caricatures as the film progressed and the protagonist was impossible to sympathise with far too early on. It seemed almost cartoon-ish in the worst possible way at the end.
I understood the idea and thought it had genuine promise. It was let down by the fact that the film neither subscribed to being a horror, a comedy or a character study. Almost Mercy was stuck in a no man's land. It was attempting to be a dark comedy but achieving none of the depth and execution of a dark comedy. It was incredibly hard to like the main characters in any way despite being the 'weird' kid once upon a time.
I felt almost insulted at times by the constant tropes, it seemed lazy and unoriginal. Which completely took away its value as a 'quirky' indie movie.
The music was often clashing with the film itself. It annoyed me multiple times. Whether it was supposed to be jarringly juxtaposed, I don't know, but I felt that many songs were poor choices.
As a positive, the female lead put in a decent performance and I could definitely see her advancing. The camera work was great and I liked a lot of the shots.
I would not recommend this film, unfortunately.

Almost Mercy (2015) is a movie I recently watched on Prime. The storyline follows two teenagers that are outsiders with only themselves as friends. As various buttons are pushed the young man explodes and is expelled from school. The two teenagers work together so he can gain his revenge on those responsible for him getting expelled.
This movie is directed by Tom DeNucci (Army of the Damned) and stars Bill Moseley (House of 1000 Corpses), Kane Hodder (Hatchet), Danielle Guldin (Gotham) and David Gere (Army of the Damned).
This cast is awesome. Mosley as a pastor and Kane Hodder as the gym teacher was hilarious. The history of Mercy is very well presented. This movie has nice coming of age and friendship elements then takes off like a bullet the last 25 minutes. There's an ax to the face scene that's excellent and some great blood splatter. There's also a legendary bondage scenes that's worth a viewing.
Overall this is a very fun film that's definitely worth your time. I would score this a strong 7.5/10 and strongly recommend it.

I've seen more than my fair share of films, and I can honestly say this is one of those few sleepers that left an impression. In my opinion I would not have classified this as a horror film, but rather a dark comedy/drama. From the beginning of the film, to the end, it moves at exactly the right pace. It draws you in with a well written story and still delivers the shocks. It develops the characters so well that you can imagine (to a degree) yourself in their shoes.
The story involves two small town teens who are labeled as "outcasts", and from there they develop a unique friendship over the years. Both being raised in their own version of hell, they are shaped by the small minded people living around them. Being pushed to their limits, and having an everlasting loyal friendship, they set out to take revenge and have each other's back.
This film has so many great and memorable scenes, and was edited perfectly (in my opinion). I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this film for anyone who enjoys something a little over the top, with some outlandish scenes to drive it home. I can safely say I will be seeing this film again in the near future. Hope you enjoy!!
