La Sirena

The mermaid theme is a generous one. This film use it in fair manner. A simple story, with powerful sea salt flavors. A woman, her lover, his family. A wounded woman on beach. And the darker events. A film admirable for the fair use of pieces pf old stories. For the end and status of different feminist manifesto. And for the nice acting.

No pun intended - the short horror movie has quite the good look. I reckon it is easier recently to make movies like this with a low budget. The acting is also really good. Especially when you consider that there is a lot of (human) skin shown ... is there more to it you ask? Well the description of the short suggests it, so there is that.

But whatever the motives are - the movie gets steamy while never losing the focus (sorry for the pun) and giving us some horror too ... right when the highlight is about to come - happen or whatever you would call it. There is some CGI which works fine (at least to my eyes) ... so looking forward to new projects from all those involved.
