Trailer for the Lovecraftian Horror Film Version of THE LITTLE MERMAID
Lionsgate has released a new trailer for its horror-style adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid.
This is yet another classic fairytale to get the twisted horror movie treatment, and this one feels like it’s inspired by the dark work of H.P. Lovecraft.
In the film, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society.
“While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances."
“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site.
“Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”
This new movie is rated “R” for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.” The movie comes from director Leigh Scott, and it stars Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff, and Jeff Denton.
The movie doesn’t look that good, but if you’re interested, it will be released On Demand and On Digital on December 17.
