High Tide

About This Movie

So, 'High Tide' is this interesting blend of comedy, fantasy, and horror, directed by Johnny Massahi. The tone bounces between light-hearted sibling banter and creeping dread as the two get stuck in a campervan on this sinking island after looting an ancient monastery. It plays with themes of history and personal conflict, wrapped in a surreal atmosphere that’s hard to pin down. The practical effects add a gritty charm, making the hallucinations feel tangible. Performances are solid, with a rawness that fits the chaotic situation. It’s distinctive because it melds genres in a way that feels fresh, almost like a cross between a ghost story and a road trip flick, with some darkly comedic undertones.
