Synopsis
Night Tide (1961) is a moody noir-horror by Curtis Harrington you can watch online on iFILM. A young sailor named Johnny falls for Mora, a quiet woman he meets in a small seaside town.
Mora performs as a mermaid in a sideshow out on the pier, but the closer Johnny gets, the less he believes it's only an act. Locals whisper that she lures men into the sea on the full moon, and the ones before him all drowned. Whether that's real or just a lovestruck mind coming apart, the film walks a thin line between romance and dread.
This was Dennis Hopper's first leading role, shot in low-budget black and white along the California coast; the Academy Film Archive restored it in 2007. Slow, dreamlike and free of jump scares — one for fans of strange old horror. Stream Night Tide (1961) online on iFILM.
