Confusing and unsettling ... - Welcome to Mercy review by NP
Nicely atmospheric and well played, this gets harder to follow as things play out. Many dramatic revelations and flourishes are robbed of their impact because you’re less and less sure of what’s going on.
Producing a film with a complex storyline is commendable, especially in horror, when the inability to fully comprehend what is going on can actually add to the unsettling nature, but here, we’re introduced to so many convincing and well-rounded characters, we want to follow their journeys. It isn’t made easy for us.
We have some beautiful Latvian locations, a good feeling of isolation, some creepy performances and, if made slightly less confusing, we would have had a really good film. My score is 6 out of 10.
