Summary: I saw this movie at a film festival.....
Review: I saw this movie at the Virginia Film Festival here at UVA, and it was fantastic! It was explained that the "Creature Features" are reminiscent of the creature films from he 1950's. My friend and I went into the theater thinking that we were just going to see a cheesy horror film, but we were wrong. I never thought mermaids could be so scary. I surprised to see the actor, Rufus Sewell (A Knight's Tale, Dangerous Beauty, etc.) because I thought that I wouldn't know any of the actors of actresses. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes a mix of horror, action, adventure, carnies, and a love story. I also read that there are sequels planned for the movie (though I'm not a 100% sure) and will be called the "Mermaid Chronicles". I can't wait! Also, if you like this movie, you might want to check out the other "Creature Features". I haven't seen any of them yet, but that is something that I am definitely going to do.

Summary: I came I saw I liked
Review: I will say this , it`s nice to see a horror ficlk that freatures a mermaid . Let`s face it ,in mythology (anywhere you go )mermaids are evil . She Creature gives you that to the upmost . Like a lot of people I thought this was going to be a chessey mess . I am happy to say that I was wrong . I was without a doubt impressed by the acting , story , and special effects this ovie had . This moving will keep your interest till the end of it . The mermaid is both enchanting and dangeroursly errie just by looking at her . Chills start down your arms as you gaze into those eyes . In others knowing something you don`t . Forget about it being low budget , just see it with an open mind .

Summary: Not what you'd expect
Review: It's midday and there's something on cable called She Creature. Sounds terrible but I flip it on. Despite the lame title the movie is actually quite good! I can never sit still long enough to watch anything on tv but I didn't get up once during this movie. It still borders on cheesy but still worth watching. I'd actually like to see it again!

Summary: Great Film - Classy Horror Fun
Review: Just a great horror film, especially for those who like moody period pieces like a well done Dracula. The mermaid is beautiful and dangerous, the acting by everyone is really good. The sets and mood are really good. I had a really good time watching this movie, and was left hoping there would be MORE movies in this series.Subtle eroticism, really a beautiful and classy piece of work.

Review: Like many others I was impressed by this movie. While the intent was to remake old B-Movies in sort of a new B-movie style, I actually witnessed a film full of quality. It's a story of mermaids, but these mermaids aren't like the ones you know...they feast on human flesh. The fact that they are every bit as beautiful as the fables tell us means that they are that much more dangerous. With Stan Winston handling the effects, you know it is impossible to be dissapointed. But can the acting, directing, and story live up to this top notch standard? The answer is, yeah, just about. I had no problem with the acting except that the accents weren't always convincing (many characters are from various countries.) The directing also was impressive aside from a few minor pacing issues, and lastly, the story is actually such an original idea I'm a little bummed it never got a theatrical run. No, it never would have been number 1 in the box office or even in the top 5, but it could have made a lot more money than it did being made for the Showtime channel. Unfortunately Ive heard the rest of Winston's Creature Features aren't as good. I have seen Earth Vs. The Spider which impressed me about as much as this film, but the remaining three in the series have received some bad reviews. All in all, the film is definetly worth every cent I paid for it. Unfortunately, horror movies like this are increasingly hard to come by. Without relying on cheap humor which I find out of place in most horror movies, this movie can actually make your skin crawl and make you think. Beware! Bwahahaha....ummm, yeah

Summary: Ah, there's hope for the modern horror movie after all
Review: Like others have said, I'm really sick of seeing CGI effects in place of good storytelling. And I happen to love the old-fashioned "creature features," so this one was a real treat. I think SHE CREATURE is a nice melding of the old and the new. Very refreshing to see a little RESTRAINT (those of you unfamiliar with the word can look it up) applied to a horror film. If you like Hammer films or 50's "B" movies, I'm sure you will enjoy this one.

Summary: Mermaids! Best Horror I've Seen in a While...
Review: Lilly is an actress who works at a sideshow along with her lover Angus. When a former sea captain begins to tell them stories about mermaids Lilly and Angus think he's crazy. Until he reveals he has a live mermaid living in a tank in his home! But is the creature merely a side-show freak? Or is it a sinister creature of evil? I really enjoyed She-Creature. This hearkens back to old B horror films from the 60's and 70's. Sure, there are some cheesy acting (especially on the part of the old boyfriend character) and gratuitous nudity. But I thought the mermaid was very cool, and they did a decent job with the creature's back-story and costume. In particular I liked the mermaid's tail, and the graceful way it moved out of water. This is a good film for those who like tough intelligent monster films and creatures with a plausible motivation. Well done!

Summary: Best of the series
Review: Made for HBO's creature feature series a while ago, She Creature stood out as the best of the series. Although the other films in the series were no doubt entertaining, She Creature might have been one of the only ones to carry a sort of dark ambience with it throughout the film. She Creature has sort of a classical horror tale feel and held out on the over the top monster effects until the very end. This was a fantastic descion, because it creates a tension when watching. The beautiful mermaid has a hideous side, but we are only led to imagine at first. What is also fantastic about this film is how the viewer is lurched into cheering for the She Creature. Her horrendeous treatment more then justifies the death of ever man on the ship. It is also interesting when put under the "gender lense". It seems like this straight forward film could have a subcontext to it. Men exploiting the representation of the body of the feminine, and that mute passive beautiful concept exacting ferocious revenge on thoes very men, eating them whole, and then bonding with the one sympathetic female through their common "gender related" attributes. Fertility. It's an interesting film any way you look at it, and it is done beautifully.
