Mermaids (2003)

Wow! Such a good movie.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Brilliant film, love to watch this with friends on a night in. Such a good movie with a good strong story line with lots of development on the characters, you feel as if you know the character in the first twenty minutes and feel as you can relate with sibling rivalry. This movie blows me way every time with moments when you can't believe something has happened to when you get that strange happy feeling. Like nearly everyone has said in the reviews so far, can't believe this has not become a television series. Would recommend this to anyone if they are into mystical and magical movies just like this. One of my favorite movies.

Ian Berry makes it believable! This movie should definitely be made into a series. The actors were sensational. It was easy to believe that Nikita Ager, Erika Heynatz, and Sarah Laine were mermaids. The storyline was easy to follow, but had plenty of twists and turns. This movie did not leave me confused or wondering what happened in some parts. I would classify Mermaids as a family fantasy drama/action. Very small children probably would not like it, but kids, teens, and adults can all sit down and enjoy it. I would recommend Mermaids to anyone who likes fantasy films, dramas, or films that the whole family can watch. After seeing it, you'll want to watch it again and again and again. Mermaids is a sensational movie. I can't say that enough times. The only thing I do not like about it is that it is a made-for-TV movie.

While fishing offshore, the ambitious fisherman Mallick (Sean Taylor) uses explosives and a machine gun and kills the father of three gorgeous mermaid sisters. Diana (Erika Heynatz), the oldest and strongest one, lived with her father and has a powerful trident weapon which becomes a type of hair clip and decides to look for her sisters to chase the killer. June (Sarah Laine) lives in a boat, has a magic mirror, works at the local aquarium and has a crush on the Coast Guard officer Randy (Daniel Frederiksen). Venus (Nikita Ager) has the power of seducing men, has a magic tiara and works as an aquatic dancer in a coastal bar. Together, the three sisters try to find a way to bring justice to the death of their father. 'Mermaids' is one of those movies quite silly, but delightful to be seen. The story, full of magic and fantasy, is delicious. The gorgeous cast is a collyrium for the men eyes. The locations are wonderful. 'Mermaids' is a great entertainment for the whole family. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): 'As Sereias' ('The Mermaids')

I had the opportunity to watch this movie one night on PAX tv. It is about three mermaid sisters who are looking for revenge on the fisherman who murdered their father. One of the sisters lives on land, the other comes up every now and then for a "good time" and the third has never set foot on the ground before and hates all human beings. This provides some extra conflict when deciding what to do about the fisherman, which I have to admit really helped the story along. There are several subplots of sibling rivalry, romance, etc. some of which probably could have been left out. The special effects really were not bad for a low budge-made for tv movie. They also explore a lot of old mermaid lore, which was pretty interesting. All in all it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. If you liked the movie "Splash" I would give this one a chance. Who knows; you might get HOOKED. LOL
