In the early 1900s a ship is bearing a mermaid across seas with is owners (Rufus Sewell and Carla Gugino). But the mermaid, who looks absolutely gorgeous, is totally evil and has a few surprises in store.
Ultra low budget (and it shows) monster film with tons of padding (this would have worked better in an hour) but not totally worthless. It's surprisingly extremely well-acted (especially by the absolutely beautiful Sewell and Gugino), definetely does have a few effective moments and really kicks into high gear during the last 15 minutes. The special effects are also pretty impressive and there's just enough blood and guts for us gorehounds out there.
The main problem is the script--it is slow and I kept dozing off. There just wasn't enough of a plot to sustain the whole running time. They even through in a totally needless (and silly) sex sequence between Sewell and Gugino. And the direction is by the numbers. That aside, it's an OK time waster. Just make sure the fast forward button on your remote works.
