The Lure is a modern update on the classic monster movie, coming courtesy of Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Smoczynska who is making her directorial debut. The film is in turn an intriguing musical-thriller mashup, centering around man-eating mermaids — yes, you read that correctly.
Here we showcase the NSFW trailer for The Lure, which introduces the world to two mermaids, Golden (Michalina Olszańska) and Silver (Marta Mazurek). The movie — set in the 1980s — begins when the mermaids come across a family of musicians, and are thus recruited to join the band in a Warsaw dance club. Silver then finds herself falling in love with one of the band members, while Golden, on the other hand, builds an appetite for human prey.
The Lure is scheduled to open at New York’s IFC Center on February 1, with a national rollout to follow.
