Seems Stan Winston is going back and re-making a bunch of schlocky old horror movies from the Arkoff era. If this one is any indication, they’ll probably be chances for Winston to show off his creature effects talents and not much else. There’s a vague plot here someplace, a mish-mash about carnival people who kill a crazy old man and steal his real-life mermaid, a dastardly plot that leads to predictable consequences for the lot of them (especially when the mermaid transforms from supermodel to scaly critter). Further, the “sexuality” mentioned in the ratings box was pretty timid stuff. Otherwise the concept’s not too terrible and the execution not too bad (could have been better, but probably could have been a lot worse). Mildly amusing
