This was the last film in the "AMC Monsterfest: Cult Classics- Collection 1" and I was coming off the high of watching "Carnival of Souls". The fact that this movie had Dennis Hopper in it also was a draw for me. Well starting off, it had a very slow pace. But I stuck with it. The only thing that peaked my interest was that witch lady who always seemed to be around. So at about the halfway mark the movie picks up and now I'm kinda curious. Is she really a mermaid? Is this all in his head? Is this all in her head? Is someone behind it all? Is the witch somehow involved? Etc, etc. Then the ending comes and I'm like "What the heck?" Just when the story starts getting good it ends, and ends in such a bizarre way. Not a good bizarre either. It wasn't like a David Lynch ending. This ending almost didn't make sense. Maybe if I watch it again I'd like it more. That happens sometimes. Some movies require two viewings.
