    One of the best little indies I've seen recently

    I'm glad I found this unexpected gem. The texture and feel of the film is consistent and perfect. The acting is very good, with minimal dialogue. The fear is there and the scares are there, made all the more real by the gentleness and emotional weight. Especially startling is how the composition of filming, lighting and sound made the girl blend perfectly with the water she inhabited. There are some very chilling scenes, and this is a movie that will stay with me in a good way for a long time. The music is beautiful, too.

    Slow Burn Lore

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

    Hauntingly beautiful love story.

    I really liked this movie. It was slower moving but it had to be. It built a relationship between the siren and the man. No other way could it have been done. For those who didn't like it don't appreciate this kind of film. That's ok. You though, have to watch it for yourself.

    Heartbreakingly beautiful

    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.

    Great Premise Bad Editing

    I am not sure if the point of this movie was to be "artsy " but because of the poor editing it is really hard to track. It could have been a great story but I honestly couldn't tell what was supposed to be happening when and with whom. Time spliced editing is very tricky and if you don't do it right it can ruin your story.
