Love the crap out of that truly bonkers film! A punk horror musical about mermaids in Communist Poland ... :: Chef Kiss Motions :: Continuing the Eastern Bloc punk theme and falling asleep to Hedwig. Sleep well cult film fans!

And it's dang-near impossible to out-nude an Andy Sidaris movie! I mean, unless it's like a Doris Wishman Nudie Cutie, or something!

🤣 Sid Vicious threw the Sex Pistols equipment into the English Channel on the way to tour in France in a drug-fueled rage, and those sea punks reaped the benefits!

Pen drawing of a man wearing a fishing raincoat and holding a hook drawn on a black background.
Not trying to tell these people how to be Mer-punks, but if you're going for a fish-punk theme, why not have your bassist dressed up like Ahab, or The Gorton's Fisherman ...

Michalina Olszanska's apparently in an alt-history Orwell-punk dystopian series about the long aftermath of a terror attack in the Polish People's Republic called 1983. I might want to check that out at some point in the future.

I'd hate to be the Communist Party bureaucrat who had to try to explain the mermaid-relqpated domestic squabble to one's higher-ups ...

Goth discos, underground punk clubs, New wave synthetic pop discos: with all of the dancing going on in 80s Poland, I'm surprised anyone had the energy to do all of that Solidarity stuff during the day ...

On the bright side of the dystopian state of corporate consolidation of all entertainment, I can't wait for Disney to eventually own the IP for this film, and we can get the The Lure / The Little Mermaid crossover we deserve!

General Wojciech Jarizelski is unamused by this decadent Western Mermaid Berlesque.

Poster of Karl Marx windsurfing with the text weniger arbiet fur alle!
Love seeing a big flashy cinematic shopping montage set at an Eastern Bloc State store. Granted, I suppose it would be a veritable consumer paradise compared to the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Karl Marx windsurfing poster semi-related.

Pen drawing of Burt Reynolds wearing a jacket and smiling drawn on a torn-out book page.
Was scanning some art earlier tonight, and I've had the theme from Hooper stuck in my head since coming across the Burt Reynolds drawing I made for Cult Shelf's presentation a while back. Ain't complainin'! 😁👍🎶🎞

#TheLure was a fricken wild ass ride that also strangely was predictable but in the best kinda way. Not usually a fan of musicals but this one was morbid & artsy & I Loved the little short films included in the dvd. Opera fans unite 🖤 Director def set my ‘dar off and confirmed in short films… 🌈
Excellent. Appreciate it! Enjoy #TheLure 🎣

This is not folk horror, this is a Polish musical!
#FolkHorrorFriday #TheLure
The Lure premieres at The Sundance Film Festival in 2016. The Polish horror musical fantasy by Agnieszka Smoczyńska is partly a retelling of Hans Christian Anderson’s The Little Mermaid mixed with commentary on sexism and the struggle of immigrants. #thisdayinhalloween #halloweeneverynight #thelure
