Get ready for a chilling reimagination of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale as MSR Media International and Grindstone Entertainment unveil the first trailer for their horror adaptation of The Little Mermaid.
Breaking from tradition, this version, featuring a character named Aurora, deviates sharply from the Disney rendition. Gone are the whimsical tunes; instead, brace yourself for a spine-tingling narrative where Ariel transforms into a bloodthirsty creature.
Following in the footsteps of horror reimaginings like Winnie-The-Pooh, Mickey Mouse, and even Bambi, this adaptation promises to plunge audiences into a new realm of terror.
“Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.
When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”
Directed by Leigh Scott, starring Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff, and Jeff Denton, this rendition has earned an R-rating for “Language, some violence, and brief nudity.”

“The recent live-action Disney film stars Halle Bailey, Melissa McCarthy, Javier Bardem, Jacob Tremblay, Daveed Diggs, and Awkwafina, and is obviously a much more family-friendly affair altogether!
“The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.”
