Red Moon Tide
Lúa vermella
Time seems to stand still in a village in the Galician coast. Everybody there is paralyzed although we can still hear their voices: they talk about ghosts, about witches, about monsters. Three women arrive in the village to find Rubio, a sailor who has recently disappeared in the sea.
Why it matters
Red Moon Tide casts a hypnotic spell of atmospheric dread steeped in folk horror and maritime myth.
- An immersive dive into Galician coastal folklore where superstition and silence weigh heavy.
- The film’s languid pacing mirrors the eerie paralysis gripping the village—slow burn horror with a hypnotic pull.
- Women-led narrative probes grief and the uncanny, anchored by naturalistic performances that feel lived-in, not staged.
- For fans of regional folk horror like Julia Ducournau’s raw intimacies or the mythic unease of The Wicker Man’s spiritual cousin.
