Richard Jefferies is primarily known for his work as a screenwriter. Most notably he’s penned the scripts for Scarecrows, The Vagrant, and Cold Creek Manor but he has dabbled in the world of directing a few times, first doing so in 1982 with Blood Tide.

The film stars James Earl Jones as a treasure hunter looking for goodies on a Greek island. Unfortunately, he ends up awakening a sleeping sea monster, and things get a bit hectic. The film has been relatively obscure since its release, appearing on cheap monster compilation DVDs over the years but never getting a proper release. That all changes on May 26th when Arrow Video releases Blood Tide with a brand-new 4K restoration.

Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look!

Co-written and produced by Greek genre legend Nico Mastorakis, Blood Tide was panned by Leonard Maltin and TV Guide, which should only make it more desirable for horror fans. Alongside Jones, the film co-stars Jose Ferrer, Lila Kedrova, Mary Louise Weller, and Martin Kove.

In the wake of Immaculate and The First Omen, more church-based baby horror is on the way with The Baby in the Basket, and Bloody Disgusting has been provided with a sneak peek.

For starters, Strive Global Media has secured the worldwide sales rights on the gothic horror film starring Amber Doig-Thorne (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey), Michaela Longden (How to Kill Monsters), Elle O’Hara (When Darkness Falls), Lisa Riesner (Charlie’s Angels) and Nathan Shepka (Lock & Load) alongside veteran British talent Annabelle Lanyon (Legend), Maryam d’Abo (The Living Daylights) and Paul Barber (The Full Monty).

Produced by Shepka Productions and Flickering Myth, The Baby in the Basket is set in 1942 where, as World War II rages on as the nuns of isolated Scottish monastery St. Augustine’s prepare for an incoming storm front. During the night a baby in a basket is left on the doorstep and the sisters take it in to care for it.

As the evening goes on, one nun, Sister Agnes (Doig-Thorne) soon suspects the child is the son of the Devil.

The film is directed by Nathan Shepka and Andy Crane from a script by Tom Jolliffe (Cinderella’s Revenge). Shepka and Jolliffe produce alongside Gary Collinson of Flickering Myth, with Sanatan Kadakia (Control) executive producing via Hidden Ridge Productions.

“We do not often find stylish horror films like The Baby in the Basket in the marketplace which is very flooded with repetitive horror titles. This film is really something special and stands out as a film to see. We are so pleased to be representing it.” says Miriam Elchanan, President of Sales & Acquisitions at Strive Global Media.

“The Baby in the Basket has been a passion project that has been brought to the screen by a fantastic cast and crew,” states writer and producer Tom Jolliffe. “We can’t wait for the world to see the finished film and we’re delighted that Strive Global Media has secured worldwide sales rights and will be debuting the film at Cannes Film Market.”

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Miriam and the team at Strive Global Media on The Baby in the Basket and thank them for the enthusiasm they have shown towards the film,” added Gary Collinson of Flickering Myth. “It is testament to the work of our wonderful cast and crew, and we look forward to being able to share it with audiences around the world.”
