Arrow : Blood Tide (1982) (Nico Mastorakis)

Arrow laatujulkaisu Nico Mastorakis käsikirjoittamasta Kreikkaan sijoittuvasta folk-kauhusta.

"Director Richard Jefferies terror tainted 'Blood Tide' is an unconventionally restrained horror film that beguiles due to its moody atmosphere and abundant eccentricity rather than a default reliance on explicit gore. "

" The cinematography, especially the underwater work, is gorgeous, the direction is competent, and for the most part the performances are quite good. James Earl Jones is obviously enjoying himself, and Oscar winners Jose Ferrer and Lila Kedrova contribute very solid work. The young ladies- Mary Louise Weller, Deborah Shelton, and Lydia Cornell- are all lovely and quite satisfactory in their performances. Martin Kove isn't going to win any awards, but he's so nearly naked through most of the film and so sweatily gorgeous that his talent is a minor consideration. All in all, "Blood Tide" has something about it that I really enjoy. I've seen many, MANY worse horror films and it's head and shoulders above sick torture porn like "Hostel". "
