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. May 4, 2020 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) It's mostly agony. Rated: 1/5 Apr 26, 2020 Full Review 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 Apr 18, 2020 Full Review 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. Feb 26, 2022 Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene As enjoyable as the 1989 Leviathan, but very much rooted in The Now. Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Nick Levine NME (New Musical Express) This spookily pertinent sci-fi thriller makes for a gut-wrenching watch in the age of coronavirus. Rated: 4/5 May 11, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Chris H Poor, I'm afraid. It sounded so good from the publicity, but the "creature" is unexciting and the plot crawls along without any real sense of tension. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Tom L Intelligently written, well acted, and expertly directed. Effective science fiction with hints of cosmic horror. A thought-provoking slow burn that won’t appeal to the Saw/Chucky/Jason crowd. Sea Fever is a film in the tradition of The Thing and Alien, but more sedate version with human relationships and interaction more front and center. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review mike s Awful story. Predictable but totally ridiculous. Not worth watching. Casting only surpassed in wierdness by the accents. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Horror fan 4 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 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Elizabeth D This movie was stupid from start to (especially) finish. A complete waste of time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Jeffrey P Slow burner with a steady pace and suspense throughout before an ending that was kinda bland. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
