Environmental disaster-horror movie set in southwest Florida gets digital debut

Environmental Disaster-Horror Movie Sets Digital Debut for North American VOD Platforms and DVD
Los Angeles, CA (January, 10, 2024). Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has acquired North American VOD rights to the creature horror feature film THE RED TIDE MASSACRE, which will be available to rent/own on all digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms worldwide, as well as on DVD, starting on January 30, 2024, through Freestyle Digital Media.
THE RED TIDE MASSACRE tells the story of a female TV reporter investigating environmental disaster in Southwest Florida who becomes the target of an unknown monster. Rookie female reporter Rio Lee investigates a string of mysterious murders during a global warming environmental disaster. The “red tide” has infected the Florida waterways, aiding the disappearance of escaped killer Al David. After being shot by the Sheriff, Al disappears into the contaminated water. The local biologist, Kara, assists the Sheriff and discovers that the red tide algae are consuming a blood sample she examines.
Amid this calamity, the homegrown self-proclaimed Skunk Ape expert has evidence that the Florida Bigfoot is the actual killer. The Sheriff eventually tracks down the convict, which leads to the Sheriff’s brutal murder. This killing sets forth a showdown between Tommy, the Sheriff’s son, and the killer now known as the Red Tide Monster. The Monster moves through the coastal community and sets his sights on Rio. Finally, Tommy saves Rio and rids the town of the Monster.
