Mercy (2009 film)

Mercy is a 2009 American horror film directed by Patrick Hoelck. The film stars Scott Mechlowicz, Dylan McDermott, and Marilyn Manson.

The plot revolves around a group of brothers who return to their childhood home after their estranged mother falls into a coma. While dealing with her impending death, they uncover dark secrets about their family's past and begin to experience unsettling and supernatural events. They soon realize that a malevolent force is at play, connected to their mother and a pact she made long ago. The film explores themes of family secrets, guilt, and the consequences of past actions.

Mercy was released directly to video and garnered generally negative reviews. Critics cited the film's predictable plot, reliance on horror genre clichés, and underdeveloped characters as its primary weaknesses. While Marilyn Manson's presence generated some initial interest, his role was ultimately considered small and inconsequential.
