Watch Mercy For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The film opens with a Mr. Ree answer: Frank with an axe in the Living Room...West Virginia 1967. The film moves to the present and we quickly know what happened in the opening scene. Grandma Mercy (Shirley Knight) has taken a shine to her grandson George (Chandler Riggs). We discover grandma had triplets and is somehow connected to old world paganism while something supernatural is going on. We get sparse hints until about 40 minutes into the film when we get the long version of the tale.Grandma is suffering from Alzheimer, although she responds best to George who has an invisible friend...and how long was that drawn circle in the basement there before anyone noticed...and were the candles always lit? We do get to see the whatever late in the film and I thought the over priced black velvet painting was better.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. On a side note, there were no opening FBI copyright warnings. The film starts off playing on its own like a cheap pirate DVD.

This is really not a review of the movie as I haven't seen it yet, but I soon will. This is in regards to someones review of Chandler Riggs' acting. How many young actors do you think are perfect from the get go? A lot of times actors have to do what the producer wants. I have watched The Walking Dead over and over, I'm now on my tenth go around. I think Chandler did a very good job of portraying a perfect brat. Are we to say we don't like his acting because we didn't like the way he behaved ? NO, for making the audience hate an actor is actually very good acting. I don't know what your problem is ,but that's your opinion and you're entitled.

I only know that this was from a Steven King story from reading the other reviews...and frankly, had I known it was a King derivation, I would have left it alone. If I've seen one King movie, I've seen them all.In this case, this story was ADAPTED from whatever King short it came from...and the Director then added some Non-StevenKing ingredients. I smell a touch of Lovecraftian flavor in the atmospherics and the casual, southern hills spookiness of the family and their struggle to deal with what seems to be just a dark Grandma suffering with dementia.And again...that could be boiler-plate horror that's been done again and again. But this one isn't following the straight-up Hollywood Backwoods Horror formula. And more to the point, it's giving the viewer a cast of characters that aren't the usual studio cardboard cut-outs. And in this story, the telling is from the POV of the kid Brothers as they deal with Family History and secrets. Not the WILD things...but actually just like the stories we'd would hear about our own forebears..if we were old enough to be told and knew how to keep Family Business 'In the Family'.With GOOD Horror, you care about how the character will deal with the Unknowable. The EFX is just icing on the cake.And when Horror has a Lovecraftian bent, how the characters deal with the outcome is even more Key...because unlike normal Hollywood Movies...there are NO Good Endings in the Lovecraft Universe.It's about How the Protagonist goes Down.Watch this one around Midnight. And it's best with the lights turned down. But you have to be patient...

I don't know, I liked it. It was better than some of the garbage that gets into the theater. it has known actors and its Stephen King. I watched it twice. It looks like something I would have watched in the movie theater at least it got put on netflix. which is where I watched it. I will probably watch it again before it goes off netflix to. It will most likely be on the 5.00 shelf at wally world since it did not go in the theater, I will buy it. I love Stephen Kings stuff!! there are many more movies out there that have been made and not released because someone did not think they would make enough money off of them. at least if they were released the people watching them could decide if it were worth while or not.
