Tideland

Audience emotional responses to Tideland are predominantly characterized by a profound sense of **Disturbing** unease, **Fear**, and **Anxiety**, reflecting the film's dark, surreal atmosphere and the precarious, often terrifying situations faced by the child protagonist, Jeliza-Rose. High levels of **Sadness** and **Empathy** are evoked by her tragic circumstances, parental neglect, and profound isolation. **Disgust** arises from the squalor and the morally ambiguous actions of the adult characters. The film's unique blend of fantasy and horror also elicits **Melancholy**, **Curiosity** about Jeliza-Rose's coping mechanisms, **Confusion** as reality blurs, and a dark sense of **Awe** at the imaginative yet grotesque world she constructs.
