“Mercy Falls” (** out of four) was a humdrum suspense psychodrama about a group of friends (Lauren Lyle, Nicolette McKeown, and others) who go hiking in the Scotland Highlands in search of a long-lost cabin but after a tragedy happens and they realize they are far apart from civilization, various feelings of suspicion and betrayal set amongst one another which leads to deception and murder. Proficiently acted and filmed but by the end you realize that this is one more derivation of “Lord Of The Flies” that you didn’t need. Too long and not really for horror and suspense fans.
