Have Mercy
Despite its slow pace there is a solid film here with some decent performances. There are some confused plot points and it feels at time like a very complex and rich script is trying to force its way through a simplified movie, but it is certainly not without its charm.The film reads like a classic ghost story that was shackled by attempts to make it a contemporary horror film that doesn’t know who its audience actually is. There are elements of comedy mixed in which don’t gel well with the general tone and jump scares that don’t really fit either.
Overall it is worth watching due to its potential, but don’t expect to be overwhelmed as somewhere along the lines most of this was squandered by the film overall throwing things against a wall and seeing what sticks.
Not bad (really!) for straight to VHS
Mercy is a horror story that plays on typical human fears with a twist, In quintessential Stephen King fashion.Matt Greenberg adapts King’s short story Gramma into the screenplay for the horror film Mercy.
George is the undeniable favorite grandson to his grandmother Mercy. His mother along with his brother must act as caretaker when Mercy unexpectedly is stricken ill and requires constant care. Inexplicably odd and mysterious occurrences seem to revolve around his grandmother and George rushes to save her.
As a horror fanatic, Stephen King represents the worst aspect of horror. I find his writings and stories to be horridly cliché exasperated by the fact that King so desperately tries to twist and surprise his readers when the ending can be seen a mile away.
Interestingly, Mercy is a well paced suspenseful horror in which few stereotypical scares are used until the final reveal. The horror lies in the unveiling of truth through ominous and foreboding layers and well utilized complementary music. Shirley Knight is incredibly creepy as Mercy, the potentially possessed grandmother. The children and characters themselves are smarter than most adults in horror movies.
Chandler Riggs is the main character George, and significantly younger in this film than he is on the Walking Dead. This leads me to assume that the film sat shelves for some time before being made available. Mercy doesn’t really add anything new to the genre which is probably the explanation but all in all, it is not a terrible horror movie.
