Review of Bloodtide

Bloodtide (1982)
1/10
script for an early '70s drive-in reject
15 November 2006
Please tell me James Earl Jones did not star in this film.

He plays a drunken archaeologist who is given to recite Shakespeare (?!) - why? - I couldn't say. Could Jones? Then there's some banter between American tourists. Since the film is set in Greece, Jose Ferrer shows up to prove he can't speak Greek. The natives, terrified by the sudden death of some of their women folk, do what all Greek natives do in movies - drink, sing, eat, and dance! "Jones' Big Fat Greek Murder By Monster" movie.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention the monster; but, that's easy to do, since it rarely shows up and doesn't do anything spectacular.

"1982" ?! My god, did they still think they could get away with this script for an early '70s drive-in reject? And didn't Jones know we could never forgive him for this?!
