Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese 05/29/2022
Ezrulie has a mixed message and one that it doesn’t seem to want to settle upon. On the one hand it could have been a good opportunity to explore feminism and what it means to get everything you want like The Craft. Go to Full Review

If seeing crappy men being torn to shreds by an otherworldly mermaid isn’t your idea of fun, then you’re definitely in the wrong place. Go to Full Review

Gina M 06/10/2024 Erzulie has some great moments and strong female leads. I especially loved the contrast that Rhett, played by Jason Kirkpatrick, brought to the female cast. The state of Louisiana, Erzulie, mermaid lore, and Voudou are also strong "characters" setting the tone and theme for this strong indie film by Christine Chen. See more M.M. P 06/03/2023 The movie surely was interesting. I love to see more modern stories of ethnic Folklore. The film had a few rushed dialog moments but the special effects and overall plot were great! The mermaid was beautiful~ See more Moth to Flame F 05/16/2023 Not a remake. Original and unique. If you love mermaids and B-horror creature films, this is for you. See more 06/17/2022 An eerie, wonderful, female empowered film that is masterfully crafted. The tone and cinematography are excellent and paid well with these well developed characters. See more Jerad W @JeraBear 06/15/2022 Complete Garbage plot & questionable ethics behind story & character composition.....in short this feels like another Diss-ney like crafted Lore for the 'Brave New World.' (I suspect most normal, respectable people will find this as no better than Distilled Dreck) See more 06/10/2022 Four friends — Fay, Violet, Wendy and Allison — have taken a vacation at a Louisiana resort, a place where one guest has already been devoured by an alligator and toxic waste has ruined the water. And when Fay's abusive boyfriend shows up, not even a spell to Ezruile, the protector of women, children and the neglected gets answered. Then, they find a woman lying by the river who changes everything. Ezruile isn't the best horror movie you'll see, but it's trying something different. It has something to say about the nature of male and female relationships, about friends and the environment without getting preachy. After all, it's a movie about a mermaid who is conjured by the four women to solve their problems. It finds its heroines not only dealing with the vengeance of the titular goddess, but attempting to save her from men who would keep her from her divine path. Director Christine W. Chen — who co-wrote this movie with Camille Gladney — has been building a resume of shorts and television work. You can see some genuine craft and art here. This isn't just another streaming cheap throwaway, despite its low budget. See more Read all reviews
