I saw the trailer and thought, why not! I'm glad I decided to watch this film! What a good film! This is not just another mermaid story, ha ha. I thought director, Jeffrey Grellman, did a good job in telling the story while moving the film along. I never found myself getting bored which is rare. So bravo, this film get a thumbs up from me.

You had me at Mermaid!
Definitely a very unique movie...
I stumbled upon the 2019 movie "Mermaid Down" by random chance here in 2021, and I must admit that the synopsis was selling the movie quite well. I read it and I wanted to watch the movie, and also the movie's cover was interesting. Sure, I hadn't ever heard about this movie from director Jeffrey Grellman.
Well, writers Kelly Lauren Baker and Jeffrey Grellman definitely managed to put together a movie that was unique. I will certainly give them that much. I mean, a movie that contains a mermaid, a ghost, a vicious dog and a psychotic psych warden, what's not to like?
Actually, white "Mermaid Down" was distinctively unique, it was at the same time a movie that was so avantgarde that I doubt it would find grounds with a huge audience. The movie was simply just too bizarre and strange actually. I enjoyed it, sure, but this is not a mainstream movie.
The acting performances in the movie were fairly good, despite most of the characters were feeling like stand-ins, not really having much of any personalities, traits, quirks or even dialogue. So the movie was lacking in that department. I am not familiar with the cast that were in this movie, but I will say that Alexandra Bokova (playing the mermaid) definitely carried the movie quite well.
Visually then "Mermaid Down" was great. There were some really nice visuals throughout the course of the movie, and it made the movie all the more enjoyable.
My rating of "Mermaid Down" lands on a six out of ten stars.
I just don't have any chance to take my time back
The movie was unwatchable but I invested time in it and needed to see how it ended. Cool concept but poorly delivered. the flow of the movie dragged on to much and there wasn't enough character development for almost any character. Could be just me, but I would skip this one. Such poor direction. poor acting due to poor directing and writing. there r so many contradictions in this movie that they try n act like there is no reality..but I have to say, cutting off her tail makes no sense. if you were to catch a mermaid, wouldn't you want the whole creature intact? I mean how would this guy go around saying, I have the actual tail of a mermaid? And expect it to be believed? I know it's a movie but even movies twisted and weird have some sort of logic. The idea of this movie has potential but clearly, they had clowns making it. It looks so bad. Even the colour grading is well off. Looks like the cut was done in Photoshop because they could not afford premiere pro. The movie sucks. Very low budget, bad acting, horrible script, and it's all over the place. Nothing made sense. Trust me just don't watch. Waste of time.
