Mercy Black

In a quiet town where whispered folklore clings to the shadows of everyday life, a lingering sense of dread hangs over the ordinary. Decades‑old rumors about a malevolent presence have seeped into the internet, turning a once‑private nightmare into a viral urban legend. The atmosphere is thick with an unsettling blend of psychological horror and atmospheric dread, where the line between memory and supernatural suggestion is constantly blurred.

Marina Hess, a woman emerging from fifteen years of confinement in a psychiatric facility, returns to the world that abandoned her. Carryed by a troubled past and haunted by fragmented recollections, she must navigate a reality that feels as fragile as glass. Her release thrusts her back into a family that bears the weight of the same darkness she has tried to escape, forcing her to confront the ghosts—both literal and figurative—that have followed her for so long.

She is welcomed by her sister, Alice Hess, whose life has been quietly reshaped by the shadow of an ancient family curse. With a young son, Bryce Hess, whose imagination teeters on the edge of obsession, the sisters find themselves bound by a desperate need to protect the next generation. The stakes feel intimate and terrifying, as the characters grapple with the possibility that the terror is not merely folklore but a lingering, generational wound.

The film’s tone is a slow‑burning descent into paranoia, where each creak and flicker of light may be a clue—or a trick of the mind. The story invites viewers to share in Marina’s search for redemption, to feel the pressure of being caught between past sins and a present that threatens to repeat them, and to wonder whether the true evil is an external force or the darkness that lives inside each of them.
