From the cast and crew of the Polish film, THE LURE:  Actresses Marta Mazurek, Michalina Olszanska with Director, Agnieszka Smoczynska

From Jackie Christy:

It’s hard not to appreciate the zany imagination behind THE LURE, a musical tale of teenage vampire mermaids set in 1980s Poland. The story takes place mostly in a seedy nightclub and features nightclub performers, strippers and generous helpings of nudity and gore. The performances are terrific and ground even the most implausible moments of the film in emotional reality. The story is thin, the characters don’t develop much, and the movie feels a bit more like an ambitious music video than a fully-developed story. Even so, it’s a fun ride and a singular experience. The Lure, a feature debut by the Polish director Agnieszka Smoczynska, is alternately alluring and lurid.
