Viewing Notes

Example of what a good director can do with a good story and a micro-budget. At first I wasn’t so into this modern mermaid story but was charmed as it went along. I get it; love can overcome the desire to murder. This would pair well with SPRING. Also made me want to revisit Blue My Mind.

Solid film for the Windy City Horrorama Part II festival. Preceded by short film: Faulty Father, which isn’t in IMDb or TMDb.
