How it feels

A traveling carnival sideshow in the early 1900s captures a mermaid-like creature. The showman and his crew try to exploit the creature for profit while it terrifies and kills people.

What happens

She Creature (originally billed as Mermaid Chronicles Part 1: She Creature) is a 2001 horror made-for-television film, written and directed by Sebastian Gutierrez and starring Rufus Sewell, Carla Gugino and Rya Kihlstedt in leading roles. It is the first in a series of films made for Cinemax paying tribute to the films of American International Pictures. The films in this tribute series reused the titles of old American International Pictures films, in this case the 1956 film The She-Creature, but are not remakes of the earlier films. This film was shot in 18 days. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
