Sea Fever

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.

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

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

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.

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.
