Bloodtide (1982)
5/10
Lovecraftian horror film just fails to deliver.
26 April 2006
Blood Tide is a horror film whose story is Lovecraftian in style.An t pagan intelligence has awoken from it's ancient slumber and is killing off residents of a sleepy Greek Island.The Elders of the Island intend to sacrifice one of the tourists to appease it. I really wanted to like this film. All the ingredients were there but done without any relish.An ancient sea monster that was glimpsed for all of 10 seconds and bad acting all around (yes, that includes James Earl Jones and Mel Ferrer!) just made viewing this turkey a mild endurance test.Although I did enjoy Lydia Cornell as the eye candy in this film but she wasn't enough to warrant forgiveness of this cinematic drip-of-a-horror film.
