There are some positives about this movie, but they mostly stop at the eye-candy on display, and the general killing by a mermaid, if you are into that sort of thing. But even these things are tame and toned down rather than being an over-exaggerated cheesefest like Sharknight or Piranha 3DD.I think this toned down approach might have been why the alternative title is Nymph, which sounds about as wimpy and lacking in substance as the movie actually was. There could be some good sides to this movie but it seems like most of the character stuff they set up never really pays off and there is way too much unnecessary messing about before the actual mermaid appears. Sometimes this can work since you actually care about the characters and feel peril when they are in danger, but here it is wasted and some characters are even killed off-screen. Terrible.Overall this movie could have been good if they had doubled down on characterisation, effects, cheesiness or picked any certain direction in general really. Instead it kind of flirts with being serious, flirts with being campy, and in the end just turns out to be one big disappointment.

For a movie called "Killer Mermaid" this has surprisingly very little mermaid action in it, it takes an hour before the promised killer mermaid action actually starts (unless you count the beginning teaser).In the first 30 minutes or so it still kept my interest a bit, a lot having to do with the beautiful Serbia Monetenegro landscape that I haven't really seen in a movie before.The characters also feels a little more three-dimensional than the usual 2d stereotypes that cheap creature features like this usually offers.Not that any of the characters are all that interesting tho and once the action does start in the second half the clichés starts piling up.The acting is okay although the accents get a little distracting from time to time and make the dialog sound unnatural for most of the cast.It's not the worst movie I've seen or anything but it's not particularly good either, if you're looking for a mermaid horror movie I suggest SHE CREATURE (2001) instead.

If you write a film called Killer Mermaid and 8 people die but only 1 and half due to a mermaid and you see the mermaid for LITERALLY 3 minutes of the film (no lie) you better show LOTS OF BOOBS. This film does neither. It starts off promising with a great shot of a couple getting ready to do it. Boobs flying.. Great B move stuff. Then, No boobs or mermaid until the very end of the film and that is not even the central ending. Its a B story ending. That is why this film sucks. Like Godzilla, if you calla film by a type of creature and don't ever put the creature in the film, its gonna suck unless you have boobs. Godzilla sucked, this film sucks.

I know what you're thinking. A movie about a killer mermaid, so it has to suck. That's the attitude I had when I sat down to watch this movie. However, it was very well done for what it was. They did a serious job on this film. The acting was pretty good, as was the story and the special effects. They spent about 30 mins of a 90 minute movie with character development, which is fine, because it made you at least get to know some of the characters. I'd recommend this movie, as long as you know it's not a blockbuster film. All I need is for a movie to be entertaining, and I thought that's what it was. I didn't look at my watch waiting for the movie to end. It was well done.I gave this film a 5-star rating because I really enjoyed it, and it was sooooo much better than I thought it would be. I thought this was going to be some stupid movie like Piranha 3DD or Varsity Blood. However, as I said, it was done in a serious way, and the people in this could act.
