La Sirena

No pun intended - the short horror movie has quite the good look. I reckon it is easier recently to make movies like this with a low budget. The acting is also really good. Especially when you consider that there is a lot of (human) skin shown ... is there more to it you ask? Well the description of the short suggests it, so there is that.

But whatever the motives are - the movie gets steamy while never losing the focus (sorry for the pun) and giving us some horror too ... right when the highlight is about to come - happen or whatever you would call it. There is some CGI which works fine (at least to my eyes) ... so looking forward to new projects from all those involved.

The mermaid theme is a generous one. This film use it in fair manner. A simple story, with powerful sea salt flavors. A woman, her lover, his family. A wounded woman on beach. And the darker events. A film admirable for the fair use of pieces pf old stories. For the end and status of different feminist manifesto. And for the nice acting.
