Mercy Black

I thought this was gonna go somewhere good, but it didn't. Wish they had taken a different route, or maybe added in something more to make this more watchable. Hated the ending, although the twist caught me by surprise.

The film had potential using a Slender Man type legend.....I thought anything could be better than the actual Slender Man movie released last year but I was wrong. While this movie had it's moments it was quite slow & dragging in places that my attention wandered quite a bit. If you want to watch a better version of this watch the 2016 TV movie "The Crooked Man".

I'm assuming this was written and directed by Lifetime Network?

Overall, quite a slow film and not really many scary moments. Starts off well enough, but characters have no real depth and there is no real development of the original plot. Found myself waiting for the film to end. Not the worst film in the world, but for fans of horror, I would give this one a miss.

Mercy Black has a rather interesting idea, not the entire plot, but it starts out a little more ambitious than your usual indie flick.

Sadly the execution does not provide as it should, mostly as one would expect from such a production, thus it goes downhill and loses itself there. I do believe more could have been achieved without over inflating the budget, but simply try harder to connect the dots. You won't get much thrill out of it either, just a story that slowly reveals itself in front of your eyes and then the end. Rather typical, another swing and miss like so many other such movies.

I'm not going to go all aggressive because it did try and provided a tad bit more than usual, but I'm not going to recommend it either.

Cheers!
