Review of Night Tide (1961) by Brandon S — 02 Aug 2015
Early 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.
