S(p)lasher Flicks Pool Reviews Day 57: Mermaid Legend (1984) Larger than any single family needs, with a spotless, spacious deck surrounded by manicured but modest-looking vegetation, definitely more than a one-person job to maintain. A pool fit for a plutocrat.

If you haven't watched Mermaid Legend, stop depriving yourself of some wildout proto-#goodforher Japanese lunacy. (CW: SA)

MERMAID LEGEND (1988)

You might expect a supernatural monster movie of sorts, based on the title; but it's actually a revenge movie closer to Ms. 45, Thriller or I Spit on Your Grave. Around the 1 hour mark the blood fountains start and the last 15 minutes are a total escalation.
