SIMAS C @simas_eros Oct 19, 2026 Loosely based on the original story of The Little Mermaid (not the Disney version), this is an utterly wild film that blends erotic indulgence with extreme, gory violence—a musical romance that surprises at every turn. See more

SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch May 17, 2025 The Lure is a foreign horror film that, when I first heard about it, had me anticipating something akin to classics like A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, or Terrifier. Instead, I was met with an unexpected twist: a musical featuring two mermaid sisters who vie for the affection of the same man. The catch? He’s not interested in them because they’re, well, fish. Throughout the film, the mermaids are depicted as alluring yet are mostly nude, and a bizarre element sees their anatomy altered, with their private parts appearing on a fence whenever they emerge from the water. One particularly unsettling scene involves an elderly man taking liberties with one of them. The film also features strange moments when the sisters are in human form, resembling Barbie dolls with exaggerated proportions but lacking any realistic anatomy. Despite the mixed reviews, both critics and audiences seem to have rated it highly, leading me to believe that many viewers are indulging their own fantasies rather than assessing the film’s artistic merit. I refuse to be one of those viewers, as I find that perspective quite troubling. Ultimately, this film misses the mark. It doesn’t belong in the horror genre, aside from a few minor murders scattered throughout. At its core, it's primarily about the fantasy of interacting with a mermaid. While the production quality is decent, it still feels somewhat dated, and the direction is passable at best. In summary, this film simply doesn’t deliver and falls flat as a horror experience.

Skirunr S @RT91525988 Feb 12, 2025 Bizarre film is an understatement. The script removes you from your comfort zone and plops you in a straight jacket chair of uncomfortable mesmerizing amazement. The musical score is an enchanting dare to succumb to the madness and forget this is a musical. See more
