The Siren

I can't believe anyone would give this movie more than a one or two. I truly thought there must be some mistakes with editing because it was so disjointed and confusing. I had to keep rewinding, thinking I missed something, but the movie just jumped around.

If you're not into subtle slow burn movies, and you consider Marvel movies to be masterpieces this may not be for you.

It's slow, methodic, tortured and utterly heartbreaking... but a wonderful movie.

to the reviewer that felt the need to write a thesis on Siren and Mermaid lore, review the movie, we don't need a history lesson on mythology, geez.

Really enjoyed this. Slow burn horror. Little dialogue and it wasn't needed to understand the story, so well done. (Probably not for everyone.)

So many analyst. Just watch a movie with a blank slate. Relax. Does it intrigue? Peak your interest? This is what I look for. And this movie does.

Yes, it's slow and not a typical horror movie. But it was still a beautiful story with beautiful cinematography.

There are some shots where characters fantasize, but they are quick and with context it's obvious they are fantasies. The siren can't leave the lake....so it cutting to a shot of her and some guy cuddling in a bed after zooming in on her pensive face is pretty self-explanatory.

kvhdn000 also said: "there are frequent jumps back and forth between shots that take place at unknown times and didn't convey anything to me." One set is the Siren fantasizing about what life would be like between her and the mute man if she could leave the water. That doesn't convey anything to you?
