Permaid

About This Movie

So, 'Permaid' is this quirky little gem from 2016 that dives into the surreal. The story follows Clea, a seamstress, who stumbles upon Elyse, a woman wrapped in enigma. What’s interesting is how her dreams of the Permaid—a blend of mermaid and human—reflect her own desires and fears. The atmosphere is thick with a dreamlike quality, almost whimsical at times, but there’s an underlying tension. The practical effects used for the creature have a raw charm that adds to the eerie vibe, steering away from over-the-top CGI. Performances, though a bit understated, convey a lot with their subtleties. It's that blend of fantasy and reality that makes it oddly compelling and worth chatting about.
