The Lure (Polish: Córki dancingu, lit.'Daughters of Dancing') is a 2015 Polish musical horror film directed by Agnieszka Smoczyńska and written by Robert Bolesto. It tells the story of two sirens who emerge from the waters and perform in a nightclub. One falls in love with a man, and gives up her tail, but loses her voice in the process. The story is a reworking of the 1837 fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen, with inspiration from Smoczyńska's experiences. After a Polish premiere, the film screened at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival and Fantasia Film Festival to positive reviews.
