Beneath Still Water

The legend of the mermaid of Blake Mere Pool.
Based on the legend of Blake Mere Pool - Joshua (Linnett) accuses Laura of being a witch after she rejects his advances. The village and 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 encountered 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 out why. This film is a crowd-funded project to attract attention to the local area via its local myths and legends, and what better place to start than Blake Mere.
