- 70Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThe film's mostly about one grown woman’s lingering regrets over that one dumb adolescent mistake, although Egerton doesn’t let his more serious themes get in the way of scaring the bejesus out of his audience. The result is a movie that’s a much better riff on the Slender Man urban legend than the terrible 2018 thriller of the same name.
- 55IGNWilliam BibbianiIGNWilliam BibbianiWhile there are some creepy ideas in this surprise Netflix-Blumhouse offering, the quality of Mercy Black is strained.
- 40Austin ChronicleAustin ChronicleThose satisfied with a few solid jump scares - of the Things-In-a-Mirror or Hands-on-the-Shoulder variety - will likely find just enough in Mercy Black to pass muster. It’s just a shame that a horror movie smart enough to ask all the right questions cannot seem to provide us with many answers.
