yes yes yes. the mermaids body is overtaken by a virus, making sores pop up all over her. near the end of the film, her face begins to melt, making her eye bulge from its socket.

Many of the scenes take place with the mermaid being topless and in a bathtub in order to stay hydrated. I wouldn't consider this a shower scene, but it could make someone uncomfortable.

There is a lot of what I can only describe as colorful pus that comes out of the mermaid's wounds.

(according to this info, it might mean that the unrealistic gore in the film was a metaphor for this disease)
