Mercy

Mercy is an upcoming short horror thriller running about fifteen minutes. Its story centres on a young woman who finds herself trapped in a threatening and deeply unsettling situation, one that pushes her to face her own fear and fight to survive as the disturbing reality of what is happening around her becomes clear. The film builds its tension around that psychological pressure rather than around a large-scale spectacle, keeping the focus on one woman's ordeal and her struggle to hold on.

The short is directed by Ella West Jerrier, who also wrote the screenplay, placing both the storytelling and the direction in the same hands. It is produced by Bird Dog Film Company together with Girl Boss Films. No release date has been set, so the film is still awaiting its first showing.

With a running time of roughly fifteen minutes and a two-person creative role behind it, Mercy sits in short-form territory, where the horror and thriller elements are compressed into a brief, concentrated stretch rather than a feature-length narrative.
