Audience Member Psychological thriller that has great visuals and a strong performance by Henry Thomas as the "is he crazy or isn't he" lead character supported well by Sam Neill. The script, though establishing a strong atmosphere of mystery in the beginning, can't sustain its momentum as it reverts to cliches of the genre within its final acts. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Someone's been watching too much TWIN PEAKS. Hatcher is wasted. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A very average thirller that really does nothing for standing out on its own. The directing was average, the story was par and the acting was nothing to brag about. Some of the characters were all the same though, not the besr character work. Thomas was the only one that put some effort into the role and actually looked sick as hell. An ok time consumer for a rainy evening. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Mirror-ing, the eerie, trance-like tone of Chasing Sleep (Jeff Daniels), FEVER, takes you on a genuinely thrilling and entertaining ride. Outstanding!
