The She Creature
Angus (Rufus Sewell) and Lillie (Carla Gugino) run a travelling carnival. While travelling the Irish countryside, they give a ride to an old sailor who in turn invites them into his castle to see his most prized possession--a live mermaid kept in a tank (Rya Kihlstadt). Knowing they can make a fortune off of the fabled half-fish, half-woman creature, Angus steals her for his show and loads her on a boat to sail to America. Little does he know, the mermaid masks a horror that will not show its face until he and his crew are far from shore. SHE CREATURE first appeared on Cinemax as part of the CREATURE FEATURES series, which remakes several 1950s monster films from Samuel L. Arkoff's American International Pictures.

An interesting B-movie
Not many horror movies feature mermaids as opposed to vampires or werewolves so this caught my attention. It's safe to say that plot logic and a credible script are not the film's strong points, but these are offset by an atmospheric setting at sea, Carla Gugino being very good as the circus-owner's wife with secrets of her own, and the seductive, creepy presence of the mermaid, who never speaks but always dominates her every scene.
The film does lose focus towards the end when the special effects come out to play and we run into 'Aliens' territory, but it's certainly worth a look. -

Creature Feature
I thought this movie was going to be a lot more scary then it actually was. It wasn't until the end that I realized why it was quite slow at times. This is actually a remake of an old movie and they have obviously tried to stay too close to the original story.
The effects were good and I was impressed with the actual creature, but I felt the story lacked tension and a interesting plot. I think those who have seen the original would be most interested in this movie. -
