Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

sigynnez I have read almost all Stephen King's and loved it I have read almost all H.P Lovecraft and was creepy and awesome Well, I wasn't surprise that Hastur appears as 'the one who can calm the evil down' (that's why aunt Flo told George to name him in the first place) in "Gramma", put I always remember that Hastur was actually a benign god for shepherds according to Ambrose Bierce's short story (from which Lovecraft took the character for his Chtulu's Mythos, where we never know if it is an entity or a place). So, here I am reading "Gramma" and loved it because it was creepy and scary as hell: George's brother broke a leg, mom get him to hospital and George spend the night alone with her 'Gramma' who dies in the course of the night after a series of wicked events. With an unpredictable end. The story was an episode in The Twilight Zone (one of my favorite series) and I was happy to see that it was made a feature film! Wrong: we have a girl ghost that wasn't in the story, added "A la Victor Pascow", Aunt Flo turns to be aunt Jenny (why changed the name??)... and others stuff and elements that make the story go away from the source material. At the end of the movie, the wolf of the mountain was the real demon, who all what he want is that... take your own assumptions of the matter. I have take mines and that not save the movie to my eyes. The acting was good and loved Chandler Riggs did it good as George. Shirley Knight is awesome as always. Joel Courtney was great too. Cinematography was fine, and some effects are effective. But no. The script was not good, and maybe have the primary elements that "Gramma" have, but doesn't develop the same atmosphere. 6/10 and is because of the good actors did a good job with what they have. Watch it at your own risk.

verethyl 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.

Nicole of ArchonCinemaReviews.com 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.For more FULL reviews of all the RECENT releases, please check out our WEBSITE.

Radoslav Siderov I must start with this: I love horror movies! I prefer horror movies with demons, ghost, paranormal activities (and not talking to "Paranormal activity" – very bad movie) and etc. This is one of the reasons to watch "Mercy". The trailer of the movie lies. Yes, like most trailers those days, they show the most interesting 2 minutes of the movie. The story is very unoriginal and the movie looks very cheap. It's the typical old house, creepy book, and scary looking grandma movie. Nothing memorable, I would never recommend this film to anyone.Also, the 90% of the movie is so dark, that you can actually imagine your own storyline. Maybe it will be better than original.The other reason for choosing this movie is actually Dylan McDermott. I know him from American Horror Story and I really like him, but in this movie he acts like he doesn't really care about it. Maybe he doesn't really like the movie too. The worst thing in the whole movie is maybe the acting of Chandler Riggs, who plays George. I know him from Walking dead and he is very bad actor. I don't even know why this kid is an actor!? His acting in the movie is very falsely. He saw several dead bodies and never screams. He was acting like everything is okay, but hello there are dead people in front of you! He must learn to distinguish The Walking Dead comedy from serious movies. So the only thing that I really liked in the movie was the cute dog.
