    When a single mother begins to experience symptoms of the stigmata, she seeks the help of a local priest and nun to help her understand what is seen and unseen.

     

    "The (possession) storyline is really interesting, but unfortunately, it’s a little bit clumsy along the way, so it’s a movie you want to root for, but you have to work hard to do so." - Vanessa

    "I like almost everything about it - the acting, the direction, the visuals - but the way they told the story in not revealing anything until the end was a problem." - Jeff

    "I was impressed by the direction and the craft of it. It looks great. … (But) it didn’t weave a story that drew me in and they made some choices that I felt did the film disservice." - Doc

    Director: Tommy Bertelsen
    Writer: Kristen Ruhlin
    Cast: Lily Newmark, Eileen Davies, Kristen Ruhlin

     

    Release: IFC Midnight's WELCOME TO MERCY, coming to select theaters, VOD and via digital platforms in the U.S. on November 2, 2018

    "Crazy and bloody as hell! This was a lot of fun! … I was really, really, really digging it!" - Vanessa

    "It’s impossible for this not to remind you of the Raid films. … There’s a lot of those types of really long, involved, neverending martial arts battles. (It’s) just really, really well choreographed and well shot." - Jeff

    "Horror fans, especially horror fans that love gore, will love this film. There is so much to enjoy. It is soo crimson. It is insane." - Doc

    "I think the director Joko Anwar did a great job because he really captures atmosphere and tone in Satan’s Slaves. Cinematography-wise the film is never flat. Even when it’s dark it’s vivid and has a flavor to it and he really knows how to stage those creepy characters in the right place." - Doc

    " I was engrossed by this film. From the beginning of this movie, you see people who know that paranormal activity is real. It’s not a joke. Discovering what is causing this paranormal activity and why it’s happening where it’s happening, is such a fun story to follow. " - Vanessa

    "The main reason I really like horror is to be scared, and this one did it in spades!" - Jeff

    "The story is multilayered. It has a number of characters and all of them, I think, you root for in some fashion or another. … I thought the structure of this is really, really well done and is a big part of how successful this movie is." - Doc

    "A.J. is so slimy. I have to give it to (Christopher Daftsios) as an actor. He portrayed that character really well - gross and slimy and really despicable." - Vanessa

    "I kind of got into the overall gist of the plot of what this demon was trying to do. … (but) it didn’t quite make sense. I think there are some flaws in its own mythology which undoes itself." - Doc

    Director: Jeremy Wechter

    MUSE

    A painter's life is forever changed when a mythical and deadly spirit from Celtic lore -- a Leannán Sí -- becomes his muse and lover.

     

    "This is (made by) someone who really values art, because the art that they use in this film, that’s created, that’s inspired by the muse, had to be created by someone and it’s beautiful. There is some beautiful lighting and (there are) some beautiful scenes and shots." - Vanessa

    "Jennifer Lauren Friedman is the artist for Adam’s paintings and I think she deserves credit for that because those were a key part of the movie and in this case, this was really good art. It really sold the whole story." - Jeff

    "There are moments here that I think really work especially as it gets toward the end and I do like the resolution quite a bit. I like the decisions they made." - Doc
