Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia An atmospheric and stifling chiller which leans heavily on folklore and mystery to create a feeling of dread. Jul 22, 2019 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat Calling The Mermaid scary wouldn't quite be accurate - it oddly pulls back in spots that would benefit from going full-bore - but it certainly has an eerie vibe. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 5, 2019 Full Review María Fernanda Mugica La Nación (Argentina) The Mermaid doesn't manage to construct suspense nor scare the spectator. [Full Review in Spanish] Dec 20, 2018 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine Russian cinema delivers in this way another correct exponent of the genre that, without shining, fulfills its objective by demonstrating a management of resources and providing a pair of scares.

I'Esha S This was an interesting movie, I love how you can always relate these type of films to your daily life . What we deal with we will carry, while we are alive,we are emerging in how we feel. Choosing to go along mindlessly with all we went through to push us to that point. We forgive, we accept and we are basically forced to push ourselves away for the best of our situations but when we do this we are only building a grudge, we are building a darkness inside of us and eventually that darkness forms or turns into energy. I don't know death but I do believe that once we are gone from this earth that all that passes will be what was hurting the most, that didn't have the form of expression at those times. Where you lose your life is what elates, elevates; accelerated from the body that deteriorates your consciousness and/or subconscious, magnetizes the energy field to your own experience Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/04/23 Full Review Audience Member this film is one of the worst films of the decade, has a bad script and we have characters? they are beasts and donkeys, seriously don't watch. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a Russian movie that I watched in dubbed English: this offsets the presentation. The story itself was actually pretty good, it has great pacing, twists, surprises without jump scares, but the delivery was rough. Maybe its a Russian aspect of how conversation happens, but the dialogue itself was awkward and I found myself just not caring about the characters unless it related to the premise. The effect work was actually really good too, but the "normal" parts of the movie just didn't cut if for me. Not for me, can't recommend unless you're looking for a Bad Movie Night candidate, then it'll probably be a really good time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member No es una película perfecta, pero si es aterradora y entretenida. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The film had everything to be interesting, but at one point the script begins to get lost. "The Mermaid" brings an empty plot, but that manages to surprise. Although not so nice, it's a good fantasy movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
