Mercy Black (2019)

A group of three girls commits horrible acts on behalf of an entity. 15 years later, one of them is released from a psychiatric institution and discovers that their idea has gone viral, when even her nephew has become obsessed with the phenomenon.

A small caliber horror / thriller, but effective with its ideas (elements from Phenomena are  borrowed unexpectedly). It mixes the realism of thrillers convincingly with horror mysticism, making the result a bit uneven and uncertain of the direction it wants to approach. The end manages to somewhat redeem it from the amount of imperfections committed up to that point. 

Directed/written by: Owen Egerton
With: Daniella Pineda, Austin Amelio, Elle LaMont, Janeane Garofalo

Rating: 7/10
