Sea Fever Reviews
A film that warns about the ecological impact of humankind, as well as how little we truly know about the ocean and what lies in its depths, Sea Fever is a sci-fi thriller that's about more than just what lies on the surface.

As enjoyable as the 1989 Leviathan, but very much rooted in The Now.

This spookily pertinent sci-fi thriller makes for a gut-wrenching watch in the age of coronavirus.

During these germaphobic times, Sea Fever may get extra legs because of its timeliness, but that doesn't change what the film is at its core: well-crafted indie horror.

I watched Sea Fever [in the] morning, and by that night I noticed I'd hardly had any water to drink the entire day.

It is a human versus nature tale that doesn't always make the viewer fear the monster; instead, they are meant to grapple with what it means to share a world with such creatures.

Think John Carpenter's classic The Thing on water - but the anxiety of it all seems very familiar right about now.

Could be a good start to an X-Files episode. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 23, 2020
A solidly crafted one location horror that establishes an effective atmosphere of desperation.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 28, 2020
A strong cast, a smart screenplay, and a gloomy tone help sell this low-key bio-horror

Sea Fever is a topical aquatic horror film that combines the frights of a creature feature with the suspense of an outbreak film.
| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Jul 15, 2020
If you value a slow-burn horror of enclosed spaces and strange nature, where a large share of the horror derives from the vast, isolating expanses of the sea itself, then there is much to recommend Sea Fever.

With interesting ideas, a solid cast, intriguing creature, and tight quarters, "Sea Fever" presents an often-taut genre narrative. But just as often, it fumbles when deciding what it is, what it wants to be, and where it's heading.
| Original Score: B- | Jun 25, 2020
It's a tried-and-true horror concept: a confined space and an unseen threat that leaves everyone wondering if they're infected. It's claustrophobic in all the right ways.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 19, 2020
In some ways, Sea Fever feels like the slightly prescient horror film of the time. A film about monstrous organisms and the unseen creatures that might be inside you.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 8, 2020
he issue here is that everything from the characterization to the film's visual sensibility feels derivative of these references without inviting much new conversation

Sea Fever is a solid bit of seafaring horror aided by strong performances and a queasy atmosphere that'll have you feeling seasick in no time.

It's made well, made intelligently, and it uses a very small budget with confidence...I was really surprised by how much I liked it.

It's refreshing to have a film that takes itself so seriously by refusing to sacrifice its moral stance in order to satiate the anxieties of viewers-anxieties that have become more prescient than anyone could have imagined.
| Original Score: 7.2/10 | Apr 30, 2020
Iffy accents aside, there is an old-school charm to this. Just don't expect any great innovations.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 26, 2020
