Terror strikes in paradise as James Earl Jones (End of the Road) and José Ferrer (Fedora) star in 1982’s Blood Tide, a tale of sea monsters, sacrificial virgins and a pair of Academy Awarding-winning actors.

When treasure hunter Frye (Jones) accidentally awakens an ancient sea monster that has been lying dormant on a Greek island, the inhabitants are forced to resume the practice of sacrificing virgins in order to placate the demonic creature. Meanwhile a couple, Neil and Sherry, arrive on the island in search of Neil’s missing sister, Madeline.

Written and produced by Nico Mastorakis – the man behind such genre favorites Island of Death, The Zero Boys, The Wind and many others – and directed by Richard Jefferies (Scarecrows, Tron: Legacy), Blood Tide is a suspense-filled creature feature surging with blood, nudity and beachside aerobics!’
