- QuizDennis Hopper's sailor suit was slightly darkened so it would read as white on film. During production, Hopper was spotted by military police who threatened to arrest him for wearing a dirty uniform.
- BlooperSirens were not mermaids as stated in this movie, but were actually half female human / half bird, and there were only two or five of them depending on the stories. Mythology says that after Odysseus slipped by them, the Sirens dashed themselves onto the rocks, so none survived into the modern era.
- Citazioni
Water Witch: [in the Blue Grotto Bar, the Water Witch says to Mora that she is going to meet her people -- the Sea People! translated from Greek into English] "Soon you will encounter your people, my dear! Oh, yes, we will be meeting again very soon!"
[no wonder Mora was so upset by what she said!]

Written by Jimmy Bond
Night Tide remains an oddity, sort of a blending of Shadows and Roger Corman with the ghost of Val Lewton hovering in the background. The ending is unfortunate, something of a loss of nerve given Harrington's overall imaginative approach. What impressed me then, and still does, is the director's visual style. Most every frame amounts to a well-composed visual treat, even when taking in the flat side of Santa Monica's ocean front. It's a measured, near- lyrical style, well suited at capturing the poetical side of horror a la Lewton—a dimension sorely missing from today's bloodfests. Anyway, the movie shows considerable promise; I'm just sorry Harrington slipped into obscurity, never developing into the career I think his talent deserved. Meanwhile, the movie furnishes a look-see into what was then a fresh movement in film-making.
