Mercy Black Plot Synopsis
The film opens with the ominous text:

‘Do you know Mercy? Do you know her name? She’ll take away your hurt, if you promise her your pain’

Instantly this sets the tone for what is to be one of Blumhouses’ creepiest projects to date.

The movie itself follows Marina Hess, who fifteen years after stabbing a classmate, is finally coming home. Marina apparently committed the crime in order to appease a phantom known as Mercy Black.

There are clear allusions to the real-life Slenderman Stabbing case that took place in 2014 in which 12-year-olds Anissa E. Weier and Morgan E. Geyser lured their friend into the woods and stabbed her 19 times in the hopes of impressing Slenderman.

Similar to Anissa and Morgan, Marina’s crimes went viral and have inspired many internet rumours, stories and copycat crimes that have given her a level of noteriety in the area. Marina is obviously anxious at returning home as she is haunted by her crimes and the phantom Mercy Black. Upon learning that Mercy Black has become so famous she feels guilt for bringing the world a whole new nightmare that she believes has caused a lot of suffering.

Better Than Slenderman?
Marina desperately tries to convince herself that Mercy Black was a figment of her imagination, however, her nephew Bryce becomes increasingly more and more obsessed and interested in the legend which leads her to discovering that perhaps it wasn’t all in her head.

Now right off the bat this is a pretty heavily filled jumpscare movie, so if you don’t like them and let’s face it who does, then you’re probably not going to enjoy this as much as you should. To the film’s credit this is a far superior Slenderman film than the actual Slenderman film that was released last year and it deals with the humanity of a story like this with a lot more respect.

Is Mercy Black Real?
Another big question that many will have over the film’s ending is, ‘Is Mercy Black Real?’ Well, this is a bit difficult to answer but I actually believe that she is. Whilst alot of the strange occurences can be chalked up to Lily or Marina’s psychosis, there are a few things that she could not have done and unfortunately, there is no way to explain them beyond the antagonist being a reality.

So how exactly has this happened?

Well the best explanation is that Mercy was created through witchcraft, which the children were clearly practicing due to the reference to a book of Spells. Either the characters believed in Mercy strongly enough that it willed her into existence or their belief invited a dark spirit into their life that took on the identity of Mercy in order to have people carry out it’s dark desires.

The whole point of Mercy Black is that people must make sacrifices in order to offer up body parts to the character so that it can take them. For example, it gains a finger and eye through Lily losing hers and this ritual completes it’s body.

Mercy Black Ending Explained
The main theme that can be taken from the film is that Ideas can become very dangerous if they are shaped in the wrong way. Mercy Black started out as an imaginary being but due to the publicity garnered by the original crimes, Mercy went viral and inspired a nightmare that spanned the world.

Just as Will had the idea for a book on the crimes, this eventually lead to his downfall and it shows that if we do things with negative ideologies then negativity is all that can come from them.

Just as the idea of Slenderman was originally created as an internet meme, this eventually spread to the point that it created real world crimes that horrified the world.
