Gory horror movie: mermaid trapped in a freak show, eventually kills her jailor












5















I really can't remember much about this other than the very start, or at least I think it's the start...



The movie opens with a mermaid trapped in a huge tank of water, as part of some freak show I think. Eventually the mermaid kills the man keeping her captive.



It's a recent enough film, made in the last decade I reckon. American production. Pretty gory, lots of blood and guts I think.

          Could this be She-Creature?



          woman's head in water, reflection shows a mermaid



          This film was released in 2001. It features a killer mermaid, as well as a freak show proprietor who wants to put her on display. According to this review:




          Ooh! Nicely done here. I like!!! He takes them to a very small tank
          with a mermaid crammed inside.



          She's chained inside because she murdered drunk guy's wife. I guess
          he's punishing her by leaving the algae build up in her tank.




          So there is a mermaid in a tank. From the same review:




          Bummer. Now Angus is dead.




          So, she also kills the person who kept her imprisoned.

            It's actually not too bad for a "B" movie. Break out the popcorn and beverage-of-choice!

          Could this be She-Creature?



          woman's head in water, reflection shows a mermaid



          This film was released in 2001. It features a killer mermaid, as well as a freak show proprietor who wants to put her on display. According to this review:




          Ooh! Nicely done here. I like!!! He takes them to a very small tank
          with a mermaid crammed inside.



          She's chained inside because she murdered drunk guy's wife. I guess
          he's punishing her by leaving the algae build up in her tank.




          So there is a mermaid in a tank. From the same review:




          Bummer. Now Angus is dead.




          So, she also kills the person who kept her imprisoned.
