Leave your thoughts about Night Tide.
| Movie MetropolisChristopher LongThe film is so deftly crafted ... that the creaks in the screenplay don't show too glaringly. |
| User ReviewMichael WDennis Hopper's acting in this is amazing, very well directed, some aspects come off as cheesy but in all the film is a beautiful surreal dream. |
| User ReviewAaron GA fever dream of a movie, a tribute to the ethereal qualities so prevalent in the Val Lewton films of the early 40s. |
| User ReviewRobert LOne of my favorite movies, ever, if you're going to watch a Dennis Hopper movie in remembrance, I say go with Night Tide. All too hard to come by in movies especially, back in the day, like another big favorite of mine, I Know Where I'm Going!, Night Tide is an essentially realist story in which magic works anyway. What could have been a cheapie rip on Val Lewton's themes with a slightly Lovecraftian bent becomes, in Curtis Harrington's hands, a full on old school fairy tale, the bloody original kind, for the age of Dick Tracy. Don't show your daughters the Disney Little Mermaid - show them this mermaid movie. You will not be sorry. |
| User ReviewWill "the Thrill" VUnduly obscure horror Beat noir, starring my friend Linda Lawson as a mysterious "mermaid" who haunts Dennis Hopper. |
| User ReviewOrlok WA classic, special gem for fans of the occult, as Marjorie Cameron plays a vital role as one of the sinister Sirens. Mermaids, sirens, freak shows, and moon magic defines this classic tale of evil lurking on the edge of the shore... |
| User ReviewBrandon SEarly Dennis Hopper in an original low budget thriller that calls back to an era long gone. Heavy on atmosphere and an unsettling tone that works wonderfully to leave you clenching to the edge of your seat or not, depends on if you are into slow burning black and white films. Hopper's performances could definatetly use some work at this stage in his career as the happy go lucky sailor that falls under the spell of a sideshow attraction mermaid. The camera work looks great and works so well in black and white, an all around treasure to anyone who has not found this gem before. However highly recommend this in it's new BluRay release as opposed to it's craptacular DVD releases. |
| User ReviewLoves2Garden GLots of atmosphere! Great scenes of the Santa Monica Pier and Venice, CA area. |
| User ReviewVictoria SA strange and moody dark romance, marred only by a weak ending. |
| User ReviewRyan KAn interesting story that's both engaging and well acted. If you want to see Dennis Hopper act like Brando, that's this movie. If you like endings that leave questions, and movies that can start to make you believe that fantasy and reality may be able to co-exist this maybe a movie for you. |
