Yes, I love the sea most of all. But I'm afraid of it, too. I guess we're all a little afraid of what we love. NIGHT TIDE (1961) dir. Curtis Harrington

"You think that everything can be seen and touched and weighed and measured... You think you discovered reality, but you don't even know what it is."

Mora, from the very cool little 1961 movie, Night Tide. (Which is streaming for free on YouTube!) It's a movie that could actually do with a remake--as much as I like it as it is, there's so much more they could do with it given a proper budget and some fine-tuning.

This old movie called Night Tide was on TV tonight, I tuned in partway through and watched part of it. Reading the summary of it on the TV guide site (obscure old horror movie about a mermaid) I was expecting it to be goofy and mediocre, but it's actually really good! Very effectively atmospheric!

It's about a young man who's in love with a woman named Mora, Mora might be a mermaid/siren who was adopted while immature and raised by a human. I think mermaids/sirens are supposed to be shapeshifting predators that prey on humans if they're real in this setting. There's a twist at the end I don't want to spoil which makes things a lot more ambiguous, but in the early-to-middle parts of the movie it was like...

... OK, family secrets, sea + beach + decay imagery, clear setting up of implications that Mora is a Creature and has killed multiple people and is kind of like a reverse Chirin (i.e. that Mora is a predator raised by her natural prey who wants to have positive relationships with members of the species that raised her but can't stop following her instincts to occasionally eat one of them), mysterious strange older woman who's implied to be a siren/mermaid in human form and who I get an idea might be Mora's birth mom, Mora's implied relationship with her own species feels very "The tense extremes of horror are lessening, and I feel queerly drawn toward the unknown sea-deeps instead of fearing them ... shall swim out to that brooding reef in the sea and dive down through black abysses ... and in that lair of the Deep Ones we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory for ever..."

... This feels a lot like Lovecraft writing about Deep Ones, but at the same time wonderfully different from that (for one thing, I cannot remember Lovecraft ever giving the kind of significance and empathy to a woman character that this movie gives to Mora). It feels like a fundamentally and profoundly different yet parallel project to The Litany of the Earth.

@who-canceled-roger-rabbit, there's a scene where the protagonist has a dream where Mora turns into a mermaid and then a giant octopus and attacks him that reminds me of an idea you shared with me on Discord (I think the implication was supposed to be predation, but it could be read as your idea pretty easily!) and in general I think you might like this movie a lot!
