Watch The Little Mermaid For Free
The Little Mermaid
Deep in a barren, fantastical wasteland lays a dilapidated circus tent. Inside, an ominous ringmaster forces his prized act, a real live mermaid to perform for a group of grimy, working class spectators. The mermaid, though frightening, is but a lovesick, caged animal praying for release from her endless torture. Unwilling to surrender his meal ticket, the ringmaster rejects her pleas for compassion and continues to confine the mermaid to her stagnant holding tank. With nowhere to escape to, the mermaid must make the choice between holding on to the hope of freedom and putting an end to her abuse. Produced by Samantha Jewell, Lindsey Mann, Justin Simon and Aliya Tarmo through the VFS Compendium series and Directed by Nicholas Humphries (Riese: Kingdom Falling), The Little Mermaid is a twisted re-imagining of the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale.

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
The state of viewer seeing . it is the basic significant thing. because "The Little Mermaid" is a gem for inspired use of tools from music to cinematography and landscape, silence and gasps and the "holes" of story who , at the first sigh, are the problem of it. a circus, a memaid in a bath tank. in a tent. few simple viewers. and something to defines it more than a horror. a cold poetry of image. an isolated world. the traits of old fairy tales. and it is enough for a real beautiful film.
"The Little Mermaid" is a Canadian 7-minute horror film directed by Nicholas Humphries and written by Meagan Hotz. In my opinion, this film's biggest strength is the visual side. The set decoration is nice, same goes for the makeup. The music fits very well too and makes it an atmospheric little movie. However, there is one plot point that basically destroys the entire thing. Why does he perceive the mermaid as human? Was it her chant? And anyway, if she kills him, what does it help her. She is still caught in a bathtub. Yes he probably would not have let her go anyway, but at least there may have been visitors and there would have been a tiny possibility that one of them helps her. I wish this film could have been thought through more convincingly in terms of the story as it truly delivers in terms of technical aspects. Still, story is everything and that is why I cannot recommend it.
