Mermaid Isle

Ah, Mermaid Isle-a film that promises the siren song of aquatic horror but instead paddles in tepid bathwater. The concept is intriguing enough: a deadly mermaid lurking just below the surface of idyllic, sunlit shores. Unfortunately, the execution feels less like The Shape of Water and more like a damp re-run of Jaws 4: The Revenge-but without the shark.

The script, alas, appears to have sprung a leak, with dialogue so wooden it could build a lifeboat. The titular mermaid? She remains elusive, teasing us from water so clear you could spot a goldfish, yet somehow, no one sees her. It's less suspenseful and more a test of how long you can suspend disbelief before you float away entirely.

The direction is about as effective as throwing a lifebuoy into the void. There are glimmers-scenes that hint at a tension-filled undercurrent-but they're quickly drowned by indulgent pacing and gaps wide enough to sail a ship through. The performers, bless them, try their best to keep this ship from capsizing, but even average acting can't save a film this waterlogged.

In short, Mermaid Isle drifts aimlessly, leaving viewers stranded in a sea of missed opportunities. You won't need a bigger boat; you'll need a better script.

My god where do I start? Acting was appalling, the movie made no sense, ended without any explanation, only got back story from clippings at the beginning and end. The story had the potential for a good movie but the directing, acting and shooting of the film destroyed any chance of that. What utter and complete waste of time and quite frankly really shocking and not in a good way.

Acting horrendous, I wanted to give it the benifit of the doubt, kept hoping. But it just got more and more painful. No rhyme or reason, Just spectacularly, ridiculously dumb, boring and useless. No spoilers, cause there's nothing to spoil, no moments of anticipation....just like what it would be to watch paint dry.

Worst movie I've ever watched !! Bad acting and doesn't make any sense

How is that when they get off the boat, and start walking they have nothing. But as t continue to 🚶 all the of a guilty one guy is carrying a basket, and the o one a duffel bag. They did not go back to the boat. This was really stupid. Also, where Shelly got bit you can see the lake bottom. So if something big as a mermaid was there you'd definitely see it.
