Critics Consensus

If Sea Fever never quite heats up as much as it could, it remains an engrossing, well-acted sci-fi thriller with effective horror elements.

Mark Kermode

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

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.

Katie Walsh

Tribune News Service

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

Rated: 2.5/4

Britany Murphy

The Reel Roundup

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.

Jason Shawhan

Nashville Scene

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

NME (New Musical Express)

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

Rated: 4/5

Loved this movie. The characters and performances were legit and this thought of being stuck on a boat with a parasite in the water is terrifying. Tim Treakle

This movie was stupid from start to (especially) finish. A complete waste of time.

Slow burner with a steady pace and suspense throughout before an ending that was kinda bland.

SFだから仕方ないかもしれないが、突っ込みどころは満載だった。一番の突っ込みどころは、行動学や化学を主役がテーマにしているのに映画がそうなっていなかったこと。面白いだけに残念だった。

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Enough going on to keep you in the story but unfortunately doesn't quite live up to its potential.
