      steve d You would think something from the mind of Stephen King would be far less by the numbers. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Wolfgang G Mercy – Der Teufel kennt keine Gnade ist ein Horrorfilm, der nach einer Kurzgeschichte von Stephen King basiert. Das Drehbuch zur Geschichte schrieb Matt Greenberg, und Peter Cornwell führte Regie. Der Film ist etwas Langatmig, der Geschichte fehlt etwas, ich will mal sagen es fehlt „der Schwung". Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/22 Full Review Audience Member Previously adapted as a Twilight Zone episode, Stephen King's short story Grandmother is adapted once again, this time as the low-budget supernatural horror film Mercy. The story follows a young boy who cares for his infirmed grandmother and slowly begins to suspect that she's a witch after he learns some disturbing things about her past. The pacing is terrible; the film's not even 80 min. but feels three times that. And the acting is pretty poor, especially the lead kid. The writing isn't that good either, leaving a lot of questions unanswered (particularly the ending, which is very ambiguous). Mercy is a meandering atmospheric horror film that really doesn't offer too many scares. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Oof! That was awful all around. Man, who thought any of these characters were anything but contemptible...?! It's a shame, as there's some good bones here, that they could've constructed something really interesting. But nope. It ends up being just another terrible Stephen King adaptation. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/11/19 Full Review Audience Member Very bad and no scares. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Even little CORRAL could not save this insipid dreck of gothic horror from complete and utter boredom. Lord have "mercy"... * Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Mikel Zorrilla Espinof An option only for the youngest in the house, and only if they're under five years old. I still have my doubts that even they will be able to enjoy it. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 17, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
