She Creature

A traveling freakshow comes across a real mermaid and tries to transport her to America. Along the voyage, it escapes and starts makeing lunch meat out of the crew and passengers. It turns out to be more of a monster/creature movie towards the end. The characters were pretty good, and I liked how the story progressed, and I really dug the end in particular. All around good story, and if you have a short attention span, there is always the topless mermaid. 3 out of 5.
