    Absolutely Not.

    I should have known when I saw that the words "supernatural" and also "mercy" were misspelled in the trailer that watching this would be a bad idea, and yet I thought I'd give it a try anyways. Big mistake. Stay as far away from this one as you can, ignore the fake reviews, this one is just terrible all around.

    Good spooky film!

    I saw a negitive review from September and I had to follow up with a positive one. This absolutely counts as horror, intriguing plot, spooky turn arounds and as someone who loves traditionally horror (not gore, there is a difference between the two) I think it hit all the boxes and even had two parts I was not expecting!

    I sincerely enjoyed it.. I think any female would be creeped out as its about birth, murder, ghosts and demon babies.

    hits more to home when your body is capable of birth (my bf and I had different reactions) but he still had it be a 7/10.

    Worth a watch! I won't say any spoilers, but it is slow moving and one part your like WHAT? satan?

    so good.

    Decent little horror

    This movie has pretty good story, acting and production. What it doesn't have is a good ending. The build up was done well but once it gathers some speed and things start to happen it goes downhill. In the end you'll just be scratching your head and wondering how was all that supposed to work.

    Not bad at all

    Whilst the character development failed to make me feel sympathetic towards the protagonist, the story is intriguing enough to hold one's attention to the end. Some of the horror motifs were a bit laboured, but is that not what all horror movies are like? There were some silly plot holes which were clumsily plugged - but overall not a bad way to spend 90 minutes of leasure time.

    Pretty good

    Well acted, eerie, and a good combination of Amytiville Horror and The Shining type of movies. Very surprised to see such poor reviews, for an up and coming filmmaker as I suppose this was, it was a good movie, in the most difficult genre to make a good movie. I had decided not to see the reviews before watching it and I'm glad didn't.

    Good acting, perhaps the story was a little predictable, but good as well. Great photography. Not sure about the dual outcome at the end.

    • Trivia
      Loosely based on The Ideal Maternity Home (IMH), located in Chester, Nova Scotia. The IMH, which was a maternity home, for unwed mothers, operated from 1928 until 1947 by William Peach Young, a chiropractor and unordained minister of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and his wife Lila Gladys Young, a midwife, although she advertised herself as an obstetrician. The business was eventually shut down by the government.
