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.

If this is a student film I would say they gave it a really good try. I have seen much worse movies that are way more expensive. Their is some decent photography and some really good SPF/X especially the mermaid outfit.

If they edited it down to a shorter film it would be more enjoyable I think.

It looks like it was filmed in Canada for some reason probably because of the backdrop.

The sound effects don't match up very well, and the music goes on way to long at points too.

Obviously the producers did put a lot of time into making this film so I say give the kids a break.

So give the kids a break.

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.

Horrible acting. This movie made no sense, but it is a B movie beyond the B. Colin Kaepernick looks so young and different in this movie. I can't even be serious about this film because this film wasn't serious to begin with.

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