🌊 “THEY RISE FROM THE DEPTHS, NOT TO SING—BUT TO CONQUER.”

Invasion of the Mermaids (2025) reimagines the ancient myth of sirens and mermaids in a chilling new light. This is not the underwater fairytale you’ve heard before—this is a dark, eerie, and provocative thriller that blends folklore with modern survival horror.

🧜‍♀️ PLOT SYNOPSIS

A quiet coastal village begins experiencing a series of unexplained disappearances and bizarre weather phenomena. Marine biologist Dr. Elara Voss (Anya Taylor-Joy) is called in after the local fishing industry collapses due to sightings of “impossible” creatures near the shoreline.

She discovers a terrifying truth: these aren’t mythical sirens—they are a long-dormant species of amphibious humanoids awakened by climate shifts, and they are preparing for a full-scale reclamation of the oceans… and the land.

As tensions rise and the town is slowly cut off from the outside world, Elara and a small group of survivors must uncover the mystery behind these deep-sea invaders before the tides turn for good.
