Mercy (2014)
Dir- Peter Cornwell
A single mother has to care for her ailing mother after she suffers a stroke. Her youngest son spends the most time with his grandmother and soon learns that her condition may be related to a bargain she made in her youth that is now due. Based on a short story by Stephen King, Mercy stars Shirley Knight, Frances O'Connor, and Chandler Riggs. Mercy is a supernatural horror film that centers on the relationship between a grandmother and her grandchild. The film touches on deeply personal issues that we all face in life. These include the struggles of having a family, dealing with mental illness, and losing a loved one. The superb cast helps the film along as most of the action occurs late in the movie, but the payoff works well for this Stephen King entry.
