A fairy tale classic goes under the frightening sea this September with Mermaid’s Song, premiering on digital from Wild Eye Releasing.

But Charlotte, like her mother before her, is a mermaid capable of controlling humans with nothing but her voice, which creates a battle between all of those who want Charlotte’s magical powers for themselves.

Comments: Beautiful music and then lovely singing start this movie off on the right foot. The dancing girls are all beautiful. The little girl Charlotte you see is so cute.
Charlotte does grow up into a beautiful young lady. There is still lots of dancing on the stage at a bar. As the movie goes on it is made obvious Charlotte is a mermaid it does move slowly. The dance becomes more sexual as the girls start stripping down to their underwear. Plus they become prostitutes.
Charlotte is about to be raped then her mermaid side comes out. It is a frightening change for her as well as anyone witnessing it. Charlotte’s grandmother knows what is going on with Charlotte.
Charlotte’s life just keeps getting worse and worse. The movie does get depressing with the exception of Charlotte. Than Charlotte sings. Her singing is wonderful to hear and she has power in her voice.
When the you know what hits the fan Charlotte goes full on mermaid and she screams. As she screams the death toll rises. Charlotte poor Charlotte loses so much. You will feel for her.
Katelyn Mager as Charlotte delivers a stunning performance. She steals every scene she is in. This girl is loaded with talent. When she walks into a room you notice.
