Why bother when the only that is great about is the views of the sea.

Badly written and acted with so many questions to ask including why they don't do a better and original one.

The movie starts slow and really you can figure it out from the beginning even knowing who are the characters who played a big role in making it a bad one.

Still and to be fair there are some scenes which were delightful to watch.

I don't know but when you have several dead people and a long history of such crimes it is obvious it is not a shark and you don't need to a second opinion for example.

Anyways they could have called something better than bad fish cause it feels like something you eat at a party not a scary movie maybe deep in the ocean would have given it a better audience.

This was actually a very different take on the standard mermaid mythos. The execution was flawed. The actors did an ok job with what they were given, and you could tell they were working with a shoestring budget. My biggest complaint would be the pacing and the ending. This is NOT the type of film that needs, nor deserves a sequel. So to have a cliffhanger ending was a disservice to the audience. They could have cut 30 minutes on the front end and focused on the mythology for the 2nd act and tied everything off nicely in the third and final act. This felt more like one long first act that tried to introduce the 2nd act, hence the need for a "To Be Continued..." ending tag. Could have been much better. But if you have an hour and half to kill, it is not bad to leave on and give it go.

Of course I had never heard about this 2024 movie title "Bad Fish" prior to sitting down and watching it. But given the movie's title and its cover, I was intrigued. And since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give writer and director Brad Douglas's 2024 movie a fair chance.

The storyline was not overly thrilling, nor particularly entertaining actually. However, I found the storyline to be a bit too mundane for my liking. Yet, I still managed to sit through the movie to the very end.

I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. But I will say that the acting performances were actually fair, and that certainly helped to carry the movie a great long way.

Visually then I will say that the effects in the movie were actually surprisingly good. Sure, I didn't fully understand why these mermaids, sirens, or whatever they are supposed to be were looking reptilian in appearance. But the creature designs were good nonetheless, and definitely looked rather real. That was quite a surprise, just unfortunately not sufficient to lift up the otherwise bland storyline.

I am sure that "Bad Fish" will prove watchable to some viewers. I just happened to not be particularly entertained or impressed with what the movie delivered.

The movie ends with a "to be continued..." part, I don't know if that was a promise or a threat.

My rating of writer and director Brad Douglas's 2024 movie "Bad Fish" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
