When I mention the word "mermaid," it's pretty likely that the first image that pops into your head is pretty innocent, perhaps brightly colored, and maybe even Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid.
It's probably not anything seen in the terrifying trailer for The Mermaid's Song, which stars Iwan Rheon, who's best known for his role as the horrible Ramsay Bolton in Game of Thrones.
Why did we have to make it so terrifying?
The Mermaid's Song appears to rely a bit more on the darker side of mermaid lore than Disney's Little Mermaid, taking place in the 1930s and involving some pretty horrible looking mermaids that can control people with their voices.
It splashes onto video on demand on Tuesday.
