4 out of 5 stars SHE's the one..........2007-09-13

This is in response to the viewer who wanted more details about the 2-disc special edition of SHE. Without giving away too much of the plot, the story basically involves some brave adventurers who head off on an expedition to a faraway land with the hope of finding a lost civilization rumored to possess a mysterious power source that can give eternal youth. After a perilous journey, the explorers eventually locate the ancient people but run into trouble when they meet the cold-blooded female leader of the kingdom.

This new edition of SHE includes both a colorized version of the film and a restored print of the original B&W feature, along with a second disc full of bonus material. For me, however, the main reason for getting this newer release of the film is that it's an expanded version that runs about 8 minutes longer than the original.

As for the film itself, SHE is one of the all-time great adventure movies. One might quibble that there could have been a little more action instead of some lengthy sequences dealing with the sacrificial ceremonies and such, but it still has a thought-provoking mix of mystery and excitement that truly holds your attention. If you liked the original KING KONG or JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH with James Mason, you're bound to enjoy this movie and it's certainly worth adding to your collection.

If you already own the previous Kino edition of SHE, this new version does indeed offer some impressive enhancements, so if you really love the movie I'd say it's worth the price to replace your old copy. If you're just a casual fan, though, the older DVD is perfectly acceptable. Bottom line: SHE is always a winner.

4 out of 5 stars WOW! But then.........what would you expect?.......2007-09-13

Ah, they don't make them like this any more. Still my favorite version of a truly classic love story - think of it as a distaff version of the 1933 "The Mummy". H. Rider Haggard's "She" is one of those classics that has been filmed EIGHT times. This version, from 1935, is probably the most faithful to the spirit of Haggard's novel, despite some very, VERY odd changes to the plot.

Everyone will associate Nigel Bruce with his unforgiveably buffonish portrayal of Dr. Watson in the Basil Rathbone Holmes series. Here, four years before the first of those were filmed, he plays the part of Holly, a bit of miscasting if ever there was one. Fortunately, he quickly fades into the background once things get moving. Helen Gahagan, a well-known stage actress, plays the immortal Ayesha, "She Who Must Be Obeyed". The agonized, piercing shriek she makes when seeing her injured lost love for the first time in 500 years is worth the entire film - its horrifying notes of despair and loss raise my hair just remembering it. Randolph Scott and Helen Mack are more products of their time - a bit stiff and stolid, working their ways through the film rather than really grabbing you. Surprisingly good special effects and make-up, especially with the avalanche scene and the "Flame of Life" ending.

This release features both the original black-and-white version, and one that's been "colorized". Colorization technology has come a long way since it's introduction over 20 years ago, and those of you who remember those early efforts, where the monotone shades seemed to follow their subjects a few milliseconds behind the action, should at least audition this DVD to see how far things have progressed. MOST effective is the shading given to the extensive matte paintings (thank goodness!), in many scenes giving a terrific sense of scale and distance missing from the B&W version. The massive sets also come across very convincingly and to me are the closest to what I'd pictured in reading the novel. Anyone who considers themselves a "purist" really should consider that this isn't "Citizen Kane": Cooper is on record wishing he could have filmed it in color if he'd had the budget, and also that this is a far cry from the cheesy early technology.

The letdown: the human sacrifice scene. I haven't seen so much camp since "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls". Besides the dancing cavemen (what, do they rehearse, or do they do this so often that they're really good at synchronized syncopations?), we get a marching band! (Watch for the drummer in the middle with the psychotic grin on his face. Makes me wonder what the heck was going on in his head!)

Good extras, including the Harryhausen interview on the colorization. Recommended to all.




3 out of 5 stars Review of the other Reviews.......2007-09-08

I just read the four posted reviews of this movie hoping to get some inkling of what it's about in order to decide if I should buy it or not. Unfortunately I find I know no more about the movie plot or theme after reading the posted reviews than I did before I read them. My review is directed to all who post reviews for all movies on Amazon. Write your review for people who haven't seen the movie and have little or no knowledge of it. Having read the posted reviews, I still don't know if this movie is about a chimpanzee in a hot air ballon, a murder mystry, a comedy or an what happens to an ice cream cone on a hot day. Somebody, anybody, what's the movie about?????

3 out of 5 stars Lost World Classic Found!.......2007-09-02

"SHE" is a perfect example of classic Hollywood adventure film. Merian C Cooper produced spectacular moments ( the avalanche) and some priceless camp (during the human sacrifice production number I expected Fred and Ginger to appear at any moment). The colorized version reminds me of those Maria Montez technicolored extravanzas which were clearly influence by this films rich if slightly wacky art direction which feature both Art Deco palaces and dancing cave men. ( Was this film suppose to be a musical?) One thing for sure- they don't make them like this anymore !

4 out of 5 stars SHE...who must be obeyed.......2007-08-25

Wouldn't you think that the studio that gave us the greatest of fantasies of it's age in KING KONG would have garnered so much more in financial kudos than they recieved ? It seems RKO was to go the fateful route that Carl Denham took into obscurity and financial ruin. After SON OF KONG, RKO released SHE and without the financial support needed for the undertaking. It was to be in color and to include scenes of wooly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers and such but all was not to be as the budget was drastically cut. Back again was Helen Mack from SON OF KONG and also starred Randolph Scott, which who's part was supposed to be played by Joel McCrea who played aside Fay Wray in THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME which was filmed during the production of KING KONG.

This DVD release honors the desire of Merian C. Cooper to release this film in color as it never was but done so now under the cooperation and direction of our beloved Ray Harryhausen, I'm sure as a tribute to the desires of Cooper himself.

Do not be put off by the "colorization" of this film. It was the desire of Merian to be seen this way-we've just increased the budget a bit so we can all see what he wanted us to see.

RKO went away quietly with the Desilu buy out but will always be remembered as the studio that brought us some of the great films of the 30's, as we should not forget SHE, She who must be obeyed.

4 out of 5 stars Paul Blaisdell Tribute.......2007-08-30

In all honesty I don't believe there is any such thing as a five star American International Picture. These two are certainly no exception. These movies are true "creature features" and the creatures are the only reason to watch them. Were it not for the brilliant work of Paul Blaisdell these two turkeys would be nearly unwatchable.
The Day the World Ended is a well worn plot of survival after a nuclear holocaust filled with stock characters in stock cicumstances acting(?) in a stock manner. These were great drive-in movies because you really didn't miss anything by not watching until the end of the movie when the ceature finally makes his appearance and by then it was time to come up for air anyway. Unfortunatly this was not one of Blaisdell's best creations.
However, The She Creature is one of Blaidell's best and makes it worthwhile to endure the rest of the movie. The plot is best described as Bridey Murphy meets the Creature from the Black Lagoon and indeed the She Creatures design is often compared to that of the gill man. This comparison holds up well in still photographs, but when the two are shown moving, the paucity of Blaisdell's budget becomes all too apparent. One can only wonder what Blaisdell could have done had he had a decent budget to work with. The She Creature along with the big headed invaders from Invasion of the Saucer Men are two iconic creations of Blaisdell that he did on virtually no budget. We all owe Paul a debt of gratitude for making these low budget stinkers a lot more watchable.
So, pop up some popcorn, get a soft drink, turn out the lights, pretend like the couch is your bad ride from your youth, cue up this disc, grab your main squeeze and pretend like it's a night at the drive-in. It'll be a blast!

4 out of 5 stars What happened to this series?.......2007-08-15

Great start on this series (despite the apect ratio problems), but Lion's Gate seems to have given up on this line, which is unfortunate, as there are a number of Arkoff titles that haven't yet seen the light of day on DVD. While I'm not 100% sure if Lion's Gate owns the rights to the films I list below, I would venture to guess they do. So how about a pairing of I Was a Teenage Frankenstein/I Was a Teenage Werewolf, Invasion of the Saucer Men/Attack of the Crab Monsters, Voodoo Woman/The Undead, Not of This Earth/It Conquered the World (two of the best AIP titles), and The Amazing Colossal Man (whose sequel, War of the Colossal Beast, is part of this line).

5 out of 5 stars Terrific Double-Bill, Worthy for Many Reasons.......2007-05-28

"Day the World Ended" was the very first film officially released by American-International Pictures in 1956. Directed by Roger Corman, it's been copied ad nauseum, but here is the original! It's very well done, by B-movie standards, and the cast is first-rate. I won't re-hash what previous reviewers have said, but Paul Birch was later used in Corman's BEST film, "Not of This Earth", which is, pitiably, not available on DVD or VHS. It is a thought-provoking film, so typical of the paranoia regarding the bomb back in he 50's, but the script by Lou Rusoff will not insult your intelligence. It's a film all sci-fi aficianados should have in their collection. "Day the World Ended" is paired with "The She-Creature", which is a typical 50's horror exploitation film, but isn't all that bad. Certainly, production values are low, but there's Lance Fuller (the bad Brack from "This Island Earth") looking handsome and concerned, as well as newcomer Marla English (gorgeous) and the reliable Tom Conway and Cathy Downs. Perhaps a trend-setter, a reliable old actor of the past, Chester Morris, plays the oily hypnotist. Directed by horror schlock veteran Edward L. Cahn, it's worth a look. One thing that was silly is that the cover art & posters showed the monster with huge breasts, rather daring for 50's sensibilities, but no such breasts appear in the film. I'm regularly amused by such exploitation. Good package of films, especially the Corman.

5 out of 5 stars Rainy Saturdays and horror movies.......2007-04-17

This set is one more attempt on my part to chase down the movies that I loved as a child. On rainy Saturdays I would post up in front of the T.V. and turn to the Saturday afternoon "Horror fest" on our local UHF station.(before cable and VCR's UHF stations were the only other way to see these old classic horror movies)
"Day The World Ended" is a Roger Corman movie and the reason I bought this release. After a nuclear war, One man has set up a house in the "valley" so that the fallout can't get to him and he and his daughter are set to ride out the end. Well others find their way to this oasis and sure enough the start fighting amongst themselves. To make matters worse someone or something is in the woods around the house and it wants a "date",NOW!!! It's all great fun with Corman once again proving that a little money and a lot of imagination can go a long way. Super Fun
"She Creature" was one that I had not seen before for some reason and even though it's not a Corman movie it has that same American International Films feel too it. After being hypnotized a woman reverts back to the monster she was in a former past life. Nothing great but loads of fun.
In this day of tepid gore soaked remakes these old Drive-In classics shine with their wit,imagination,charm, and style. Well worth a look no matter what your age.

5 out of 5 stars Day the World Ended/She Creature.......2006-08-02

Love these old movies. If you purchase, get out the popcorn and sodas on a dark spooky night and gather around the family, you can all watch. Not bad, even better on a stormy night.
Have lots of fun and enjoy

This surprisingly satisfying horror movie centers on a mermaid--but it's hardly one of the giggly types from Peter Pan. Rufus Sewell and Carla Gugino play a couple of small-time circus people who discover that an eccentric old man keeps a genuine mermaid in a water-filled tank. Dreaming of an invitation from Ringling Bros., Sewell steals the mermaid and loads her on a ship for America. But in the middle of the Atlantic, the hungry mermaid shows her darker side--and Gugino learns that she may be linked to the mermaid in unexpected ways. She Creature was no doubt made on a low budget, but it looks excellent and the above-average script gives the strong cast firm ground to stand on. The mermaid herself (Rya Kihlsted) is both lovely and eerie. All in all, an enjoyable homage to classic horror films. --Bret Fetzer

5 out of 5 stars A Mermaid Legend from a Different Perspective. .......2007-03-20

Great cast- Rya Kihlstedt (as the mermaid) was hypnotic. I really enjoyed the depiction of the mermaid and the way she was perceived by other characters in the movie. Feelings for the mermaid would range from anger, to fear, fascination, attraction, curiosity, and of course, horror. I think that certainly applies to anything we don't quite understand. It's always fun to delve into the darker side of Mermaid lore. A fun movie to watch if you like this genre.

5 out of 5 stars A Sexy and Scary Mermaid Film........2006-11-15

This film was made as part of a television series of films using old 1950s' American-International film titles, but having no relationship to the original films' storylines. This particular film is a highly literate and well-directed story of an 1800s' carnival huckster who greedily steals a REAL (and sexily good-looking and bare-breasted) mermaid with the intent of using her as a traveling exhibit. Unfortunately--during an ocean voyage to the United States from England--things don't work out as planned, and chaos and terror ensue as the film builds to a horrifying climax. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. One caveat: for some reason, the volume of this DVD's soundtrack is very low, and you'll really have to crank-up your system in order to hear what's going on!

4 out of 5 stars Good little tale.......2006-08-28

(3.5/5 stars) Curious that Stan Winston's name had his name stamped all over this production, given the fact the creature effects factor so minimally in the film. Nonetheless, this is a pretty cool grade B horror film. A group of English hucksters kidnaps a real, live mermaid despite warnings from her captor. They plan to head to the states to make a fortune on the sideshow circuit. Wise move, or not? Similarities with "King Kong" aside, this made-for-cable movie has much going for it: it makes good use of its limited budget by establishing a decent atmosphere, adapting a good story and getting some believable performances from its cast. In fact, lack of a large budget might be an asset for a horror movie because it forces the filmmakers to be resourceful and work within their budgets in order to be effective. Films, such as "Night of the Living Dead" and "Halloween" come to mind as being successful because they relied on atmosphere, story, music and characters rather than special effects and established actors. Given the dearth of mermaid stories, seeing the legendary creature come to life in a horror film is a singular treat. I cannot very well compare this to the 1956 movie by the same name because I have not seen that one. On its own merits, however, this one is good.

3 out of 5 stars A KILLER MERMAID!!.......2006-07-18

This is not exactly my cup of tea since I am a fan of mermaid movies!! I am most particularly fond of SPLASH, NIGHT TIDE and Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid. This mermaid movie is graphic and it's mermaid is evil...although very mysterious and beautiful!
It's not an awful movie, but definetely not my favorite mermaid movie!!

3 out of 5 stars THIS GIRL'S GOT GILLS.......2006-06-02

Another entry in the Stan Winston CREATURE FEATURES, remakes of older horror films. This is not a faithful remake of the sixties' version, but an updated one, in which a lovely mermaid is captured by an old gent who finds himself falling under her malevolent spell. She is kidnapped by a carnival showman played with great relish by Rufus Sewell; he whisks her off to America and while on board their vessel, she wreaks havoc.
Carla Gugino co-stars as Sewell's lover, and she finds herself mesmerized by the lovely but lethal mermaid.
It tends to get a little confusing at times but there is a commendable eeriness to it, but the ending is a little veiled.

Randolph Scott is his usual stiff but smiling self as Leo Vincey, the long-lost American heir to a British family legacy, sent by his estranged father to reclaim the legendary "Flame of Life," discovered five centuries ago by his explorer ancestor. Producer Merian C. Cooper, best known for directing King Kong, changes the locale of H. Rider Haggard's classic adventure from Africa to the Arctic (which, apart from a spectacular avalanche, looks positively stagebound), but he pulls out all stops for the magnificent underground kingdom hidden in the icy mountains, complete with a cavernous throne room with vaulted ceilings and a massive staircase that would look right at home in the Ziegfeld Follies. The cruel She Who Must Be Obeyed (Helen Gahagan) is a beautiful but icy queen driven ruthless by her centuries of loneliness. The film takes some time to get started but once She makes her impressive entrance through a mist-enshrouded arch, we're plunged into a dangerous, exotic world of strange ceremonies, human sacrifices, nefarious plots, and the gorgeous whirlwind of light that is the Flame of Life. Though the dialogue is often flat and uninspired and the performances by Scott and Gahagan rather arch (costars Nigel Bruce and Helen Mack fare much better), this grand adventure concludes with a rousing climax full of impressive set pieces and breathtaking effects. --Sean Axmaker

Rider Haggard's timeless tale, starring the imposing Helen Gahagan as She (Who-Must-Be-Obeyed), the eternally beautiful ruler of the lost kingdom of Kor --- Helen Gahagan, in her only film, is striking in her portrayal of She, a woman as tragic as she is blessed - to whom others' paltry, transient lives mean nothing --- Randolph Scott, as the direct descendent and physical embodiment of She's long dead lover, brings a believable good performance in a role that calls for top of his form energy. Nigel Bruce is very fine, as usual, this time playing the scholarly friend accompanying Scott on the search for The Flame --- Helen Mack is well cast as the young lady who finds herself caught up in the adventure --- The only film appearance of Gahagan, a noted stage and opera star who later entered the political arena as Helen Gahagan Douglas --- "She" represents Depression Era escapism at its very peak.

4 out of 5 stars SHE is still a delight!.......2007-05-09

The original in black & white and a seconmd version in color. A double treat for this good old-fashioned melodrama.

3 out of 5 stars Dated adventure fantasy.......2007-03-17

Square jawed Randolph Scott woefully miscast playing American Leo Vinsey is beckoned to the bedside of his dying English uncle John in the 1935 film "She". He is told of the legacy of their ancestor John Vinsey who 500 years ago discovered a mystical land called Kor in the frozen northern regions of the Arctic beyond the Russian tundra. It had been reported that within Kor there is an eternal flame which is capable of bestowing immortality.

Scott who along with his uncle's sidekick Horace Holly played by a pre- Dr. Watson Nigel Bruce embark on a perilous journey to the land of Kor. Along the way they pick up a guide's daughter Tanya played by Helen Mack who joins them on their trek. They make their way to this fabled locale to find it ruled by a cruel despotic Queen Hash-A-Mo Tep known as She played by Helen Gahagan who tries to lure Scott to share her immortality with her.

The movie "She" was a fanciful tale replete with both garish sets and costumes and a sickening overdone sense of melodrama. The acting for the most part was horrendous lead by the wooden Scott who was far more effective in his milieu, the western.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2007-03-10

I remember having seen the black & white version of this film some twenty years ago - - but I was completely "blown away" by the Ray Harryhausen and Legend Films colorized version. The chorography and music of the dance sequence is alone worth the price of admission. Raldoph Scott - although sometimes critized as being "wooden" - was perfect in this film - as was Helen Gahagan. Sadly - although Helen Gahagan was an exceptional actress - this was her only film. (She was a stage actress.) As an added bonus - the optional audio commentary provides a wealth of background and historical information that is a must for all film buffs.

5 out of 5 stars SHE says get this movie.......2007-02-24

This is a lot of fun to watch. Most people will connect Merian C. Cooper with the original King Kong, but this is also a great film. Randolph Scott is the star here as the leader of an expedition to find the "flame of life. Look for Nigel Bruce in a supporting role. He was better known for his portrayal of Dr. Watson in the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes. Special effect are very good for their day, but do not over take the storytelling. This DVD has both the original version and a colorized one. I recommend this, its fun!

Rider Haggard's timeless tale, starring the imposing Helen Gahagan as She (Who-Must-Be-Obeyed), the eternally beautiful ruler of the lost kingdom of Kor --- Helen Gahagan, in her only film, is striking in her portrayal of She, a woman as tragic as she is blessed - to whom others' paltry, transient lives mean nothing --- Randolph Scott, as the direct descendent and physical embodiment of She's long dead lover, brings a believable good performance in a role that calls for top of his form energy. Nigel Bruce is very fine, as usual, this time playing the scholarly friend accompanying Scott on the search for The Flame --- Helen Mack is well cast as the young lady who finds herself caught up in the adventure --- The only film appearance of Gahagan, a noted stage and opera star who later entered the political arena as Helen Gahagan Douglas --- "She" represents Depression Era escapism at its very peak.

    Under Lansing C. Holden (Director), Irving Pichel (Director), Merian C. Cooper (Producer), H. Rider Haggard (Book Author), Dudley Nichols (Screenwriter), Ruth Rose (Screenwriter), Roy Hunt (Cinematographer), Max Steiner (Composer (Music Score), Alfred Herman (Art Director), Van Nest Polglase (Art Director), Vernon Walker (Special Effects), Benjamin Zemach (Choreography) - - - - This film exists today only because silent film star Buster Keaton had a copy of the original print stored in his garage, which he gave to film historian Raymond Rohauer for preservation --- The sets, costumes, etc. were all prepared for a color film. At the last minute, RKO pulled Merian C. Cooper's budget, and so, he was forced to shoot the film in black and white. Friend Ray Harryhausen and Legend Films later colorized the film as a tribute to Cooper.

    Helen Gahagan ... She
    Randolph Scott ... Leo Vincey

    4 out of 5 stars SHE is still a delight!.......2007-05-09

    The original in black & white and a seconmd version in color. A double treat for this good old-fashioned melodrama.

    3 out of 5 stars Dated adventure fantasy.......2007-03-17

    Square jawed Randolph Scott woefully miscast playing American Leo Vinsey is beckoned to the bedside of his dying English uncle John in the 1935 film "She". He is told of the legacy of their ancestor John Vinsey who 500 years ago discovered a mystical land called Kor in the frozen northern regions of the Arctic beyond the Russian tundra. It had been reported that within Kor there is an eternal flame which is capable of bestowing immortality.

    Scott who along with his uncle's sidekick Horace Holly played by a pre- Dr. Watson Nigel Bruce embark on a perilous journey to the land of Kor. Along the way they pick up a guide's daughter Tanya played by Helen Mack who joins them on their trek. They make their way to this fabled locale to find it ruled by a cruel despotic Queen Hash-A-Mo Tep known as She played by Helen Gahagan who tries to lure Scott to share her immortality with her.

    The movie "She" was a fanciful tale replete with both garish sets and costumes and a sickening overdone sense of melodrama. The acting for the most part was horrendous lead by the wooden Scott who was far more effective in his milieu, the western.

    5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2007-03-10

    I remember having seen the black & white version of this film some twenty years ago - - but I was completely "blown away" by the Ray Harryhausen and Legend Films colorized version. The chorography and music of the dance sequence is alone worth the price of admission. Raldoph Scott - although sometimes critized as being "wooden" - was perfect in this film - as was Helen Gahagan. Sadly - although Helen Gahagan was an exceptional actress - this was her only film. (She was a stage actress.) As an added bonus - the optional audio commentary provides a wealth of background and historical information that is a must for all film buffs.

    5 out of 5 stars SHE says get this movie.......2007-02-24

    This is a lot of fun to watch. Most people will connect Merian C. Cooper with the original King Kong, but this is also a great film. Randolph Scott is the star here as the leader of an expedition to find the "flame of life. Look for Nigel Bruce in a supporting role. He was better known for his portrayal of Dr. Watson in the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes. Special effect are very good for their day, but do not over take the storytelling. This DVD has both the original version and a colorized one. I recommend this, its fun!

      This surprisingly satisfying horror movie centers on a mermaid--but it's hardly one of the giggly types from Peter Pan. Rufus Sewell and Carla Gugino play a couple of small-time circus people who discover that an eccentric old man keeps a genuine mermaid in a water-filled tank. Dreaming of an invitation from Ringling Bros., Sewell steals the mermaid and loads her on a ship for America. But in the middle of the Atlantic, the hungry mermaid shows her darker side--and Gugino learns that she may be linked to the mermaid in unexpected ways. She Creature was no doubt made on a low budget, but it looks excellent and the above-average script gives the strong cast firm ground to stand on. The mermaid herself (Rya Kihlsted) is both lovely and eerie. All in all, an enjoyable homage to classic horror films. --Bret Fetzer

      5 out of 5 stars A Mermaid Legend from a Different Perspective. .......2007-03-20

      Great cast- Rya Kihlstedt (as the mermaid) was hypnotic. I really enjoyed the depiction of the mermaid and the way she was perceived by other characters in the movie. Feelings for the mermaid would range from anger, to fear, fascination, attraction, curiosity, and of course, horror. I think that certainly applies to anything we don't quite understand. It's always fun to delve into the darker side of Mermaid lore. A fun movie to watch if you like this genre.

      5 out of 5 stars A Sexy and Scary Mermaid Film........2006-11-15

      This film was made as part of a television series of films using old 1950s' American-International film titles, but having no relationship to the original films' storylines. This particular film is a highly literate and well-directed story of an 1800s' carnival huckster who greedily steals a REAL (and sexily good-looking and bare-breasted) mermaid with the intent of using her as a traveling exhibit. Unfortunately--during an ocean voyage to the United States from England--things don't work out as planned, and chaos and terror ensue as the film builds to a horrifying climax. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. One caveat: for some reason, the volume of this DVD's soundtrack is very low, and you'll really have to crank-up your system in order to hear what's going on!

      4 out of 5 stars Good little tale.......2006-08-28

      (3.5/5 stars) Curious that Stan Winston's name had his name stamped all over this production, given the fact the creature effects factor so minimally in the film. Nonetheless, this is a pretty cool grade B horror film. A group of English hucksters kidnaps a real, live mermaid despite warnings from her captor. They plan to head to the states to make a fortune on the sideshow circuit. Wise move, or not? Similarities with "King Kong" aside, this made-for-cable movie has much going for it: it makes good use of its limited budget by establishing a decent atmosphere, adapting a good story and getting some believable performances from its cast. In fact, lack of a large budget might be an asset for a horror movie because it forces the filmmakers to be resourceful and work within their budgets in order to be effective. Films, such as "Night of the Living Dead" and "Halloween" come to mind as being successful because they relied on atmosphere, story, music and characters rather than special effects and established actors. Given the dearth of mermaid stories, seeing the legendary creature come to life in a horror film is a singular treat. I cannot very well compare this to the 1956 movie by the same name because I have not seen that one. On its own merits, however, this one is good.

      3 out of 5 stars A KILLER MERMAID!!.......2006-07-18

      This is not exactly my cup of tea since I am a fan of mermaid movies!! I am most particularly fond of SPLASH, NIGHT TIDE and Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid. This mermaid movie is graphic and it's mermaid is evil...although very mysterious and beautiful!
      It's not an awful movie, but definetely not my favorite mermaid movie!!

      3 out of 5 stars THIS GIRL'S GOT GILLS.......2006-06-02

      Another entry in the Stan Winston CREATURE FEATURES, remakes of older horror films. This is not a faithful remake of the sixties' version, but an updated one, in which a lovely mermaid is captured by an old gent who finds himself falling under her malevolent spell. She is kidnapped by a carnival showman played with great relish by Rufus Sewell; he whisks her off to America and while on board their vessel, she wreaks havoc.
      Carla Gugino co-stars as Sewell's lover, and she finds herself mesmerized by the lovely but lethal mermaid.
      It tends to get a little confusing at times but there is a commendable eeriness to it, but the ending is a little veiled.
