The premise

An evil Mermaid falls in love with Marina's fiancé Roman and aims to keep him away from Marina in her Kingdom of Death under water. The Mermaid is a young woman who drowned a few centuries ago. Marina only has one week to overcome her fear of the dark water, to remain human in the deathly fight with the monsters and not to become one herself.

Horror Vault's take

Deep beneath a haunted lake lurks a centuries-old mermaid with a deadly fixation on a young woman's fiancé — and the will to drag him into her watery kingdom forever. With only days to act, Marina must confront a terror rooted in ancient Russian legend and face the darkness she fears most. This Russian folk horror film blends gothic romance with supernatural menace, conjuring an eerie atmosphere drawn straight from Slavic myth. The real battle may be less about survival and more about what Marina is willing to become in order to win it.
