Solitary marine-biology student Siobhán endures a week on a ragged fishing trawler, miserably at odds with the close-knit crew. But out in the deep Atlantic, an unfathomable life-form soon ensnares the boat. As members of the crew now succumb to a strange infection, Siobhán must overcome her alienation and win their trust -- before everyone is lost.

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.

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.

2.5/4

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

3/5

Sea Fever may not appeal to those seeking escapist entertainment, but the bleak ecological message will attract those who remember such dark warnings as the Doomwatch tv series and film....

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.

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