The Mermaid is a major antagonist in the 2019 psychological-horror fantasy film The Lighthouse. She frequently appears throughout the film after Ephraim Winslow discovers and keeps a scrimshaw of her.

She was portrayed by Valeriia Karamän.

Appearance[]

Typical of a mermaid/siren, she is black-haired, young and beautiful. She appears topless and has a great complexion as well as a slender figure with the exception of her fin. She also appears to have a very large vagina in between her tailfin and her belly. 

Role in the film[]

The Mermaid started making her presence known when Ephraim Winslow finds and keeps a scrimshaw of her. He soon begins to have visions and dreams of her in a distant. However, when Winslow masturbates to the scrimshaw he fantasizes whilst having a detailed but brief vision of himself having sex with the mermaid before abruptly stopping. Later on, Winslow discovers her seemingly unconscious, washed up on the shore. He proceeds to grope her breasts and carass her body before she abruptly awakes and lets out a harsh cry whilst grinning menacingly. A terrified Winslow flees the scene.

She would continue to haunt Winslow until his final confrontation and beatdown with Thomas Wake where she briefly appears and catches him off-guard during his fight with Wake. It is unclear whether she continues to haunt Winslow during his endless torture of bird-pecking by the end of the film. 

Explanation[]

Theory 1[]

The mermaid is merely a figment of Winslow's imagination that he derived from the scrimshaw he took, and a recurring image in his sexual fantasies.

Theory 2[]

The Mermaid is a siren who was summoned when Winslow found and took the scrimshaw of her. She invades his dreams and telepathically shows him visions of the two of them having sex and only appears physically once. Due to his perversion of her, she toys around with his sexual frustrations by psychologically harassing him.
