Disclaimer

This Partner Label release is distributed through Vinegar Syndrome's sister company OCN Distribution. Vinegar Syndrome had no part in, nor are responsible for, the restoration, extras, quality control or any content(s) of this release. We hope you enjoy our growing roster of Partner Labels and the expertise and curation brought to each release by their dedicated staff!

This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray. The limited edition slipcover was limited to 1,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

Description

A corrupt sheriff schemes with city officials to obtain lucrative lakefront property. In a web of lies and intrigue, the sheriff tricks two offbeat killers into murdering his partners in the deal, all in one night over the Fourth of July.

The Killing Tide never received the distribution it deserved when it was originally released, sadly falling into complete obscurity. VHSHITFEST is so happy to release one of the all-time great low budget action films of the 90s and a soon to be cult classic.

    The Killing Tide

    A gloriously rough-around-the-edges crime thriller, embracing its bargain-basement aesthetic with sleazy characters, outrageous violence and plenty of OTT mayhem!

    Fun corrupt cop thriller made

    Fun corrupt cop thriller made on a shoestring budget. Acting is solid enough for the main characters that I can ignore some bad line reads and the action was charming enough. Was hoping for a bit more in the way of said action pieces but it was still a fun film with a nice set of extras to dive into.
