| Scary, disfigured water-woman on the poster for Richard Jefferies' Blood Tide |
QUICK REVIEW:
To a little, Greek island arrives a boat with a couple with bopped hair, who are looking for a missing, crazy sister. - But are virgin sacrifices being performed on the island? In any case, women go missing there on a large scale.
The scenes in which the girls are attacked by the sea monster are true horror, and the island also holds an uncomfortable atmosphere; in particular in the grotto scenes, in which a rambling James Earl Jones (Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)) fiddles with whisky and explosives.
The monster, however, is terribly ugly, in a bad sense that is, and the primary title of the film is pointless, (what blood tide?) Also, the young cast members 'act' more in the sense of merely being in the film with their bodies, and the British Blood Tide also doesn't steer clear of boring for considerable lengths of its playtime.
Its director Richard Jefferies has only directed one other film, the TV movie Living Hell (2008), but has written scripts for numerous films like Scarecrows (1988), Man of the House (1995) and Cold Creek Manor (2003).

What do you think of Blood Tide?
Have you seen other films with James Earl Jones that you think count as low-points in the man's in any case impressive career?
