A brief moment of self-flagellation here in case you felt the same way — we'd initially written this one off as one of those movies bio-engineered to be a cult classic. A (with apologies to fans) sort of REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA type movie, a hooky glitzy contender for the always tantalizing but impossibly out of reach RHPS weekly midnight crown. Happy to report we couldn't have been more wrong!
Polish director Agnieszka Smoczynska's feature debut is a slick, violent, glamorous fairy tale that is (somehow) much stranger than it sounds. Two hungry mermaids link up with a whole coterie of scheming and skeezy (sp?) ne'erdowells intent on turning a buck on a sensual flipper. Trouble follows.
Its Eurosleaze grime and extravagant choreography and earworm original songs reel you in a bit at a time, real gentle until it's time to rip the barb from your lip. It's a wild ride, and take our advice — always heed the siren song.
