"Its very very dangerous to go in the water after you have eaten."
A lonely sailor on shore leave, Johnny (Dennis Hopper), takes up with Mora (Linda Lawson), who plays a mermaid in the local carnival, but he starts to suspect that she may have a compulsion to kill during the full moon.
Full of atmosphere, a charming little film with a slight story of love, and loneliness. Should be double-billed with the she creature (1956), another film that features a sideshow sea creature supposedly chomping on people.
