Dark Tide

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Dark Tide is a 2012 drama-thriller featuring Halle Berry. It is directed by John Stockwell, who previously directed Into the Blue.

In the film, a professional diver tutor returns to deep waters after nine years, after an almost fatal encounter with a great white shark. The nightmare from the deep is still lurking, more carnivorous and hungry than ever.


Tropes used in Dark Tide include:
  • Everything's Even Worse with Sharks: The film tries to avert this, but at least four people are attacked and/or eaten by sharks throughout the movie.
  • Stock Footage: The shark effects are a combination of live shark footage, animatronic effects and computer generated imagery.
