“Are you accusing my new girlfriend of being a mermaid?” Lionsgate has revealed an official trailer for a public domain B-movie horror creation called The Little Mermaid, yes a dark and gritty horror take on this classic story. Don’t forget The Little Mermaid is originally based on Hans Christian Andersen’s story from his book, it’s not a Disney creation. This new take is from the same director of Transmorphers, The Witches of Oz, and Piranha Sharks. 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 with her, only to discover she’s really a mermaid. This features Mike Markoff, Jeff Denton, Samuel Selman, Sean-Michael Argo, Winston Crooke, Steven Yniguez, Manon Laurent, and Lydia Helen as the mermaid Aurora. This is only worth a look to see how dumb & weird they can make it, please don’t waste any money renting (or buying) the actual movie.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Leigh Scott’s The Little Mermaid, direct from YouTube:

Beauty is both deceiving and dangerous in this darkly fascinating twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale. After archeologist Dr. Eric Prince and his students uncover an ancient pagan temple in the depths of the Caribbean, Eric falls for a mysterious woman who resembles a mermaid he and his team encountered at sea. As their relationship intensifies, she leads Eric deeper into her evil underwater world until he must choose between true love and the destruction of all humanity. The Little Mermaid is written and directed by B-movie filmmaker Leigh Scott, director of many B-movies including Hillside Cannibals, Frankenstein Reborn, Dracula’s Curse, Pirates of Treasure Island, The Dragon Slayers, Transmorphers, The Witches of Oz, Piranha Sharks, A New Lease on Christmas previously. Produced by Philippe Martinez for MSR Media. This initially debuted in the UK in the summer of 2023. Lionsgate will debut Scott’s The Little Mermaid movie direct-to-VOD in the US starting on December 17th, 2024 coming soon. Anyone…?
