Mercy Black - 2019 - Owen Egerton

🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍

Mercy Black just begins scary. The music is ominous and you see these two very young girls just dragging their friend across a field. The little girl is screaming and it all just seems incredibly bad (obviously) - almost instantly you can tell this kind of seems like the case of the two girls in 2012 who attempted to sacrifice their friend Payton in the name of Slenderman.

The girls get her into the woods and the carry out their plan to feed Mercy. The scene changes and one of the little girls, Marina, ends up in a psych ward. (They both do but, Marina is who the story is really about) - 15 years pass and we see Marina finally forgetting Mercy and trying to move back in with her family to restart her life. A series of strange things happen to her, where locals are basically tormenting her over what happened.

Marina finds out that Rebecca (the girl who told her the Mercy Black story when she was a young girl) had been released from the mental hospital before her and she sets out to find her so that she can find out if Mercy is actually real. In the end she finds out that Mercy was a lot more real than she had imagined. The girl they were supposed to offer up to Mercy was named Lily, and she didn’t die. She survived and she ends up bat shit crazy.

Marina finds the place where Mercy was supposed to live and finds everything that they made when they were kids (at this point she pretty much convinces herself it was all a sham - it was fake news) and she heads home convinced that it’s all over. Marina’s sister and her nephew end up getting attacked because Bryce is communicating with Mercy. Lily abducts Bryce and takes him to Mercy’s “house” and lures Marina there. She saves Bryce and in the actual end Lily tries to get Marina to still sacrifice her but Marina refuses to do so; just at that moment, Bryce takes the knife Lily has in her hand and plunges it into her eye. Killing her and making her Mercy’s sacrifice. He shouts that he made a promise to Mercy and he had to - in the background Mercy pops up and in the hole in her mask where an eye would be if she had any - Lily’s eye opens up and at that moment you realize Mercy is alive.
