Review
Mercy is a bleak ride through existential torment that is irresistible --Rue Morgue

Product Description
After serving twenty-five years for committing a mysterious and violent crime, John is released from prison. Unfortunately, the first human contact he has is with a maniacal parole officer. John s later experience with a condescending new landlord isn t so great either, and together these encounters effectively establish the bleak and miserable tone that seems to characterize his life on the outside. Nevertheless, John works to establish a routine as a way to counter his guilt and achieve a sense of normalcy. However, he soon loses his way when a would-be actress awakens certain deeply suppressed desires. These desires, in turn, trigger eerie hallucinations and disturbing nightmares that recall a criminal past best forgotten.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for fans of indie thrillers, July 6, 2009

By	E. Cormier (Louisiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This film was dark, brooding, and creepy. It will be appreciated most by fans of low-budget indie films, especially those with an interest in low-budget psychological thrillers. Those who equate this film with big-budget movies in the theater will be disappointed because this film is just what it proclaims to be -- a small-budget movie filmed largely with local talent. In that regard, it succeeds greatly. Of all aspects of the film, I consider the psychological elements of the plot to be the most compelling.

If you go into the movie with accurate expectations, you will not be disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!, March 6, 2009

By	C. Dittmer "Amazon fan" (Southwest Louisiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

MercyThe star of this "movie" is a local deejay (who I have always adored), and that is why I bought this DVD. However, after watching it, I'd suggest he keep his day job and forget about acting. This was probably the worst movie I have ever seen, and then that is an understatement. It was sheer torture to sit through this DVD. This was filmed locally, but I would also suggest the film company give it up. This is, obviously, a low-budget film and not worth the paper the cover is made of. The bottom line is save your money and your eyesight. I wish I had.
