Screams low Budget but not a horrible movie

A modern day retelling of Hans Christen's The Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid makes a deal with the sea witch to sell her voice in exchange for a chance to be in love with a cute human male who turns how to be a jerk who sleeps with her then dumps her. She becomes a stripper and meets her another cute, kinda dorky photographer named Jax who treats her kindly and allows her to live with him then kind of turns into a jerk to her too when he loses his eyesight thanks to the sea witch drugging his glass of water and taking his sight away. It makes sense for him to be irritable since he makes his living taking photographs and then suddenly out of nowhere he loses his sight. The stripper friend she makes at the strip club named Sky becomes upset with her after their manager keeps upstaging her with the The Little Mermaid since she's making better tips. She quits, takes advantage of Jax's blindness and has sex with him. The Little Mermaid sees them in bed, and the sea witch temporarily gives her her voice back and gives her a dagger that her mermaid sisters sold all their hair for her to have. She tells her that if she stabs Jax then she can go back to being a mermaid and return to the sea with her family. She was about to stab Jax, but decides against it and jumps off the balcony to her death and becomes a creature of the sky one day hoping to get a soul.

This movie is very dark and I admire it's bravery. Everyone wants to tell the happy version of the sea princess getting with her human prince and living happily ever after. Very few want to tell the truth version of the story where she sells her voice, doesn't get the guy, is given a chance to kill him and return to being a mermaid, but doesn't and kill herself instead. It's tragic but it's more poetic and realistic. Once you get pass the low budget feel of the movie and the sometimes cringeworthy dialogue, it's a great story which sucks because it's realistic. Cute guys turns out to be jerks who manipulate and use you. Sometimes nice guys let you down. Girls can be your friend one moment, then become jealous of you the next moment. Sometimes girlfriends will sleep with your man. And people who you thought you could count on turn their back on you when you're no longer of use to them. Some people use drugs, alcohol, escapism, work, and sex to deal with their disappointments in life. I think did the best with the budget he had, but despite all it's imperfections and the Rob Zombie white trashy feel it, it's still a compelling story shot beautifully sometimes with a nice score and great soundtrack.

I'm not going to lie. The first time I saw this. I cut it off and was thinking what in the world is this. I was thinking it was the 2018 version starring William Mosely who played Peter in The Chronicles of Narnia movies. The movie kept getting pushed back because of backlash from the Disney's Ariel fans who were uspet it wasn't Disney's version of it. So if this movie came out around the same time, I don't get how it escaped the scrutiny. Yet, I recently gave it a shot since I'm on a binge watching different adaptions of beloved fairytales. Yet, I was determined to give it a shot and once I got halfway, it was smooth sailing with a few bumps here and there and the ending made it a stronger movie. It's not the best, but it is a rawer interpretation of a beloved fairytale I think the even the author would have appreciated. All I say is Disney's Ariel was very lucky she was found by Prince Eric and his dog instead of some seedy men and been thrown into prositution. Both happened in those times and modern times. But overall, give it a shot. I can't guarantee you'll like it. It's definitely not for everyone.

How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful

Little Mermaid, and independent and not widely known interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen's classic and most beloved fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" is a powerful, faithful and tragic retelling of the story.

Our heroine wishes to be human and sells her voice to the sea witch, classic right? But here they show us in vivid, intimate and hurtful detail just how big a part human interaction plays in this tragedy. Petty jealousies and misunderstandings unwittingly send the two lovers into a downward spiral that ends only in suffering. The Sea Witch plays a wicked part, too.

This is a true fairy tale full of all of the love and heartbreak that turns a simple child's story into an epic of character, emotion and essence. 8/10

What a nice surprise

So, it was my wife's turn to pick the movie. When she said to me, Little Mermaid. I said (literally),"are you out of you're f'ing mind?!" Well, you can see who's writing the review. My wife hit a homerun with this movie. We liked the story and thought the actors did a really super job. Well done folks!
