She Creature
A deadly beautiful mermaid spits out the proof of her hunger for human flesh in She-Creature

100 years ago in Ireland, a charlatan and his girlfriend are working the carnival circuit and tricking patrons out of their money by creating fake sideshow displays of mythical creatures.
The discovery of a real mermaid inspires dreams of wealth in America as a part of P.T. Barnum's legendary circus, but their captive holds a horrifying secret.
Beautiful cinematography, great effects by Stan Winston and excellent performances by Rufus Sewell (Dark City), Carla Gugino (Sin City) and Rya Kihlstedt (the mermaid) make She-Creature a special treat.
