There have been some pretty solid short horror films lately with a mermaid theme (SEIREN immediately comes to mind), and it looks like we’re going to have another one to add to the pile. BENEATH STILL WATER is a feature length film directed by Philip Kempson, written by Steven k Beattie, and starring Ernest Vernon, Matthew Sandland, Charles O’Neil, Sohail Al-Mahri, Siobhan Webb, and Kerry Sirrell. BENEATH STILL WATER explores and tells the legend of the mermaid of Blake Mere Pool. Check out the plot synopsis:

Joshua Linnett accuses Laura of being a witch after she rejects his advances.

The village, more importantly Father Price, agree with him and Laura is drowned in the pool.

Present day a group of young adults are out on the moor for a weekend of climbing, canoeing and walking etc.During their stay, they encounter strange events and strange stories from the local community about a mermaid who lures men to their deaths in Blake Mere pool.

Strange events happen, people mysteriously disappear, leaving some of the group trying to find why.

This is a film to take the thriller/horror genre back to it’s roots, with creepy atmospheres and a few jumps thrown in.

This is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the legend, and promote Thorncliffe, Blake Mere, as well as using local actors and crew to support filming in the area.
