High Tide

About This Movie

So, 'High Tide' is this really obscure flick from 1981 that feels like it got lost in the shuffle. The atmosphere is kind of haunting, with a slow burn that drags you into its moody seaside setting. There’s a rawness to the performances, and you can tell they were going for something deeper, but the lack of a clear plot makes it a bit of a puzzle. Practical effects aren’t really the highlight here, but the tone definitely keeps you guessing. It’s distinctive in its ambiguity, making it an interesting watch for those who appreciate films that don’t hand you everything on a plate.

'High Tide' is quite the rarity in collector circles, with very few prints floating around. It was released on VHS but never saw a DVD upgrade, which adds to its scarcity. This has led to a growing interest among niche collectors who appreciate its enigmatic nature and the elusive directorial vision behind it. If you find a copy, it’s worth holding onto, as it might just pique the curiosity of fellow enthusiasts.
