If you were curious to check out Peter Cornwell's MERCY, an adaptation of Stephen King's frightening short story 'Gramma', then you're in luck as Blumhouse Tilt has quietly released the film on iTunes and now we've got a trailer for the Chandler Riggs-starring tale to share with you.
Just as they did with Bryan Bertino's MOCKINGBIRD, Blumhouse Tilt has given MERCY a Digital HD release with little fanfare or promotion, dropping the flick on iTunes yesterday much to everyone's surprise. We've heard very little about MERCY over the past several months, with our last report on the film coming way back in February.
Starring Dylan McDermott, Frances O'Connor, Chandler Riggs, Joel Courtney, Shirley Knight, and Chris Browning, MERCY tells the tale of…
…two young boys (“The Walking Dead”'s Chandler Riggs and Super 8's Joel Courtney) who move with their mother to take care of their dying grandmother at her decrepit farmhouse. When they suspect that the elderly woman they love has encountered a dark spirit, they fear she might not be the only one who won’t make it through the summer alive. Once George (Riggs) and Buddy McCoy (Courtney) arrive at their Gramma Mercy’s (Shirley Knight), what they find inside her 150-year-old home is nothing short of terrifying. As the brothers experience deeply disturbing phenomena they believe to be the work of an ancient witch, they must fight for their lives and overcome the evil forces threatening their family.
