The Mermaid: Lake of the Dead (2019) d. Svyatoslav Podgaevskiy (Russia) (87 min) (1st viewing)
Competitive swimmer and eager bridegroom Roman Kitaev (Elfim Petrunin) goes away with his pal Ilya (Nikita Elenev) for a final bachelor’s weekend at his parents’ old cabin in the woods. While there, he has a strange encounter with a female apparition on the dock by the lake, one that leaves him physically infirm and mentally unstable. His fiancée Marina (Viktoriya Agalakova) and his sister Olga (Sesil Plezhe), fearing for his well-being, spirit him out of the hospital and head back to the cabin to try to shake the mystical spell over him. But the all-powerful water nymph is not to be trifled with – having laid claim to her human prize, she mercilessly defends her territory, dragging anyone who opposes her down to a watery grave.
