Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com The final 15 minutes are explosive. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The movie's too slow at the start and somewhat befuddling at the end, but for the most part it's a haunting, poignant portrait of one woman's Kafkaesque nightmare. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com A rare horror movie whose creators seriously represent both sides of a dilemma, and is therefore more mature than it seems at first glance. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Welcome to Mercy is a supernatural film that creates a world and characters that are realistic and human, setting itself in a low-key way that brings the viewer in before releasing its information and turning things on the viewer. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 11, 2020 Full Review Lorry Kikta Film Threat If you can handle a super-slow burn, though, Welcome to Mercy is right up your alley. Rated: 6.5/10 Dec 20, 2018 Full Review Andrew Wyatt The Lens Welcome to Mercy is a lazy, muddled horror feature, but at least it's wily about concealing that fact. Rated: C- Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Liam D A Demonic Thriller that does place I didn't expect with a kinda downer ending Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/26/22 Full Review Audience Member Interesting take on the possession/exorcism genre. Solid characters and interesting Latvian location - kind of a gritty looking convent. The lead (Kristen Ruhlin) wrote the screenplay so you might say the script fits her perfectly. Not a lot of jump scares, more of an atmospheric thing, although there's some scary stuff here. Worth a watch for horror fans with an interesting twist on possession. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was absolutely amazing. Now when I clicked on this to watch I was not expecting this kind of film. But this shows you what the person in the body is going through now it's supposed to represent evil but to me I saw this as what people go through with mental illness. I'll let you watch yourself but THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a really poorly made and dumb movie. It is very hard to follow in a way that is unnecessary. It's a movie I really wanted to and tried to like. The dialogue is not tightly put together so the movie starts out very slowly and biting my. When any action starts it is never clear how it is resolved. The entire ends up feeling like a shameful waste of time by the end. The movie "Stigmata" was a much better film and I didn't like that one either. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review anthony b Chop the last four seconds off the film, and I would bump it up a half star. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member a slow-burn masterpiece. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
