14 minutes, one resurrection, zero mercy. This short doesn't waste a single frame.
After she is killed in a wave of small town hysteria, Mercy Hawkins is resurrected by a mysterious healer who gives her the power to seek justice against her attackers.
Practical Effects
Low-budget resurrection effects that somehow hit harder than Marvel's CGI.
Acting
Emilee Harris sells cosmic rage in a fourteen-minute sprint.
Director
Antony Teofilo
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Antony Teofilo shot this as a proof-of-concept for a feature that never materialized, leaving Mercy frozen in cult short-film amber.
Released in 2008, it predates the #MeToo-fueled revenge wave (Promising Young Woman, The Nightingale) by over a decade — a grim little crystal ball.
