Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next classic fairytale to get the twisted horror movie treatment and the trailer has been released.

This new version of The Little Mermaid comes from Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film is rated “R” for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”

As you’ll see, this is unlike any version of The Little Mermaid you’ve seen before, and it doesn’t look good.

In the film, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society.

“While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.”

“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site.

“Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”

The movie comes from director Leigh Scott, and it stars Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff, and Jeff Denton.
