'Mercy' movie review

You can read my review here.








Pros

- Leads turn in decent performances
- The film's humor works really well to the point that I think it would have worked better as a legit horror comedy rather than a horror movie with some humor in it.


Cons

- Nothing but jump scares for the first hour or so.  They aren't excessive, but it's all that's offered in terms of scary scenes.
- Despite only having an 80 minute run time, the movie isn't very well paced. Things go from mundane to extremely bizarre and supernatural with no real buildup.


Overall

I do get the sense that people on this movie were trying.  Elements of the movie do work, but not enough to warrant a recommendation.  I think you can pass on this one.
