The Lure

The reason everyone wants to be a mermaid is so they can make and sell their own caviar.

However, the sirens in this musical are more interested in making music than making roe.

Sisters from the sea, Golden (Michalina Olszanska) and Silver (Marta Mazurek), surface one night when they hear a band playing. Eventually the half-human, half-fish females become the band's vocalists.

But where Golden wants to dine on their audience and swim to America, Silver wants to get her tail removed so she can marry the bass player. Neither plan comes to fruition.

While the idea of a horror musical starring sirens is intriguing and the cinematography and songs are certainly enjoyable, this Polish reinterpretation of The Little Mermaid is all over the map with strong subplots that don't amount to much.

Sadly, once singing mermaids lose their fins crowds go back to chanting 'show us your tits'. Yellow Light
