The movie sucked !

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

Superb acting(yes sarcasm)

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.

Avoid, DO NOT WATCH, complete and utter dog pooh

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.

Worse movie ever made!! Really 1/2 star, being generous

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.

Watery Horror Drips with Potential but Sinks Beneath Script Holes and Shallow Direction.

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.
