An atmospheric and stifling chiller which leans heavily on folklore and mystery to create a feeling of dread. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

The Mermaid doesn't manage to construct suspense nor scare the spectator. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

6/10
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. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Rosana B Feb 22 Para início de conversa, o macho já é meio tóxico, abandonando a guria no meio da piscina sem ela saber nadar e com pânico de água. Na verdade, não é um Sereia, tradução literal Rusalka, em eslavo é ninfa, que pode ser uma linda jovem, ou uma velha horripilante dependendo da cultura local, a trama é gostosa, nos apresenta uma personagem folclórica encantadora, clima sombrio, bons efeitos, atuação, desenvolvimento misterioso, uma obra terroresca russa deliciosa de se assustar... Muito bom... See more I'Esha S 09/04/2023 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 See more 10/21/2020 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. See more 06/27/2020 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. See more 12/30/2019 No es una película perfecta, pero si es aterradora y entretenida. See more 02/22/2019 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. See more Read all reviews
