This 1961 romantic horror is in black and white and was directed by Curtis Harrington. It stars Dennis Hopper, Linda Lawson, Gavin Muir and Luana Anders.
A sailor falls in love with a mysterious woman named Mora who is an entertainer at the beach resort. He visits her and soon learns that she's a real mermaid but others warn him of danger from her. They're convinced she might've drowned her former boyfriends.
The film has a strange atmosphere that feels spooky and also pleasant at the same time. The film was loosely based on the poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe. It's refreshing to have a spooky film featuring a mermaid.
I rate this a big splash of 7/10.
