LOW TIDE
The discovery of buried treasure sets a group of friends on an escalating course of suspicion and violence in this brilliantly atmospheric thriller.
In the long, hot days of summer in a beach town on the New Jersey shore, bored high schooler Alan (Keean Johnson) and his friends Red (Alex Neustaedter) and Smitty (Daniel Zolghadri) break into vacation homes to steal valuables, funding dates at the boardwalk and lunches at the burger stand. When Alan and his younger brother Peter (Jaeden Martell) find a bag of gold coins, they try to hide them from the others — but Red, suspicious and violently unpredictable, seems willing to do anything to get the money.
First time feature filmmaker Kevin McMullin channels the spirit of STAND BY ME and A SIMPLE PLAN, delivering a nail-biting, expertly acted thriller that plays with genre tropes and defies expectations along the way. With masterful performances by its young cast, LOW TIDE is sure to mesmerize all who fall under its spell.
