Synopsis
The Mermaid: Lake of the Dead (2018) is a Russian horror film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Svyatoslav Podgaevsky. Marina (Viktoriya Agalakova) notices her boyfriend Roman (Yefim Petrunin) coming back from a forest lake a different person — withdrawn, hollow-eyed, like someone switched him out.
The truth is older than either of them: Roman met a girl at the water's edge, a young woman who drowned centuries ago and won't release what she wants. She comes back for him again and again. Marina has one week to break the hold before he disappears for good — which means facing the water herself. Podgaevsky layers romance into the dread in a way that makes the horror land differently than a straight scare film. Stream The Mermaid: Lake of the Dead online on iFILM.
