The movie is nerve-wracking throughout, but especially terrifying in the final 20 minutes.

A real child's story of surviving a vicious attempt on her life is exploited by Egerton for the stupid and soulless spectacle that is Mercy Black.

1.5/4

If having their own Momo is Netflix's latest attempt to grab viewers, they're gonna need a much more disturbing monster.

3/5

Pineda's layered portrayal, a handful of solid supporting performances, and a responsible script help the narrative stay rooted on the right side of respectful.

The story is seemingly inspired by the Slender Man but creates an interesting character all its own.

3/5

Egerton hones his focus into sharper screams, and audiences delight most of all. More of this Owen Egerton, please. Have we just found Blumhouse's latest in-house workman?

This movie had a good premise, but it falls flat. Instead of focusing on the psychological scars of a woman who committed an awful crime as a child, it resorts to cheap scares. This movie just falls flat and ruins an potentially good idea. Another lame Netflix original.

This movie was hot garbage and I am astounded that someone actually funded this to be made.

Like most mediocre horror films, this is unintentionally comical. Mediocre acting, predictable plot, and one of the less terrifying "monsters" I've seen - it looks like a bad version of Salad Fingers. And Jeanine Garafalo has slipped to a new low. Yikes.

Credited for its unsettling amtmosphere, Mercy Black is yet again another horror snooze fest.
