5.0 out of 5 stars The sexiest film of the early nineties!, July 18, 2000

By	John Smith (Parts Unknown) - See all my reviews

Dark Tide is without a doubt, simply the most erotic film to come out of the action adventure genre since the seventies "Emmannuelle" series, and this would have fit in well with that series of sexploitation films...Richard Tyson is cast once again as the powerful bad guy, and the plot concerns a young innocent pair of newlyweds trying to capture deadly sea snakes in order to sell the expensive venom..But it is Brigitte Bako cast as sensual Andi, who steals the show..Andi would give any Penthouse Pet of the Year a serious run for her money, as this woman is the complete definition of "Sexy"...she spends most of the film sunbathing in flimsy bikinis that drive the lust crazy sailors mad...handsome Dak manages to seduce her once, but simply cannot get enough, and Andi is doomed to a very erotic fate...also great scenery, and an interesting plot with the snakes....watch for the underwater cavern scene, and keep a bucket of ice water handy!....highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Similar to The Deep and Wet Gold, December 29, 2004

By	J. Houzet "wozamoya" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Brigitte Bako reminds me of Jennifer Love Hewitt, so there's the immediate attraction for me. My interest in Dark Tide was piqued when I saw a trailer for this movie on another video. Couldn't find it to rent anywhere, but thanks to Amazon they carried it. If you've seen The Deep starring Jacqueline Bisset, or Wet Gold starring Brooke Shields, this is a similar type of movie.
Chris Sarandon and Brigitte Bako are lovers and scuba divers, collecting highly poisonous sea snakes they milk of their venom, which is used for various serums. Richard Tyson of Two Moon Junction fame is the half-breed skipper of the boat they hire. He lusts after Bako, and in a moment of weakness after a tiff with Sarandon, she gives in to him. But once is not enough for the sea dog, and he sabotages Sarandon to be able to have the girl for himself. She endures his repeated conquests till he allows his crewmate to have his way with her as well, then revenge is set in motion.
This is a fairly well made movie with a limited budget. There is some nice underwater photography. The acting is fair and the characters well cast.

3.0 out of 5 stars Visually artistic and wonderful settings., April 18, 1999

By A Customer

I have seen Dark Tide, and I must say that it is a great "Visual" for women. The story line is different, and I do think that most men would enjoy it. There is one great scene when Richard Tyson and his lover are in a deep cavern making love in the water. I wish I knew how they got thoes camera's down there. That scene makes the whole movie worth it! It is a little paradise that I would love to be a part of!
