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 mostly agony.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 26, 2020

An absorbing (if sometimes muted) wrestle with the notions of ethics and infection, in a moment that couldn't be more appropriate.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 18, 2020

For fans of sea monsters and pandemic horror, Neasa Hardiman's indie feature is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

| Apr 17, 2020

Hardiman steers clear from spectacle, cheap thrills, and jump scares. Instead, she wisely builds suspense from uncertainty...

The power of "Sea Fever" is that it's not explicitly about the ongoing health crisis, but it deals with themes and philosophical struggles that perfectly align with our present situation. Its timing is perfect, and it's elevated by that timeliness.

| Original Score: B | Apr 12, 2020

Only if you're fascinated by all sorts of aquatic peril should you venture into these waters.

| Apr 12, 2020

[Director Neasa Hardiman]'s compositions are very good and I like the way she warps the action in this movie.

| Apr 12, 2020

You'll leave Hardiman's deck wondering why you weren't more rattled, even seasick, while hoping for another genre flick from the clearly skilled director soon.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 10, 2020

Nowadays, the lessons in this imaginative and gripping film seem to have multiple applications.

| Apr 9, 2020

The film... seems unsure about its own shape, switching indecisively between creature feature, epidemic thriller and environmental drama without articulating any meaty ideas.

| Apr 9, 2020

Sea Fever becomes a horror movie about someone trying to convince people to stay in quarantine for the sake of everyone else. It's science fiction mostly in the possibility that she could succeed.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 8, 2020

It's kept just above water by an adept cast, led by a terse and practical Corfield as well as the experienced duo of Dougray Scott and Connie Nielsen, who anchor the silliness, despite the latter's bewildering attempt at an Irish accent.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 8, 2020

Writer-director Neasa Hardiman's film is undone by earnestness.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 6, 2020

As both writer and director Hardiman demonstrates a steady hand as she captains the film throughout what in generic terms is thrilling yet rather pedestrian ocean-monster science fiction territory.

| Jan 6, 2020

So while the film puts its influences way out front, its impressive execution makes it well worth the 89 minutes.

| Original Score: B | Oct 7, 2019

Some recognizable cast names and enough action to fill out a trailer should make this a viable acquisition item, but 온라인카지노추천 director Neasa Hardiman's first feature will play as a slow night's forgettable time-killer in any format.

Sea Fever is a nightmare you can't take your eyes off of and can't stop thinking about after it wraps up. It's a highly engrossing and entertaining way to challenge assumptions and reactions to the unknown.

| Original Score: A- | Sep 13, 2019

The richest tension in Sea Fever comes not from its monster but from those driven wild by it.

| Sep 12, 2019

It will be compared to The Thing and even Alien, but it also feels like it has its own voice, anchored by a wonderfully grounded performance at its core and a phenomenal use of space and setting.
