Nice locations, dull horror. - Blood Tide review by NP
Nicely filmed stunning locations, brief moments of gore and horror, competent acting and sadly, one of the dullest films I’ve seen in a long time. There’s not a lot else I can say about this film, and that’s a shame, because the cast do as good a job as they possibly can.
José Ferrer as Nereus and Mary Louise Weller as Sherry are probably the best players, with Darth Vader James Earl Jones taking every opportunity to perform that famous growl and not much else. The monster that gives this project reason to describe itself as a horror film, is seen for barely five minutes before the perfunctory finale.
If you like looking at the beautiful country of Greece, you’ll enjoy this. Otherwise, whilst it isn’t a bad film, it is sadly bland and not really something I can highly recommend. My score is 4 out of 10.
