Not bad little chiller but it could have been better. Could have been The Thing at sea. Instead, its something far more shallow.

If you, like me, enjoy slow paced atmospheric movies set in one location then you'll really enjoy this. If not, I'd recommend skipping this one. It was obvious by the first half hour where it was heading but I really enjoyed it anyway. I have nothing bad to say about the acting and the script was pretty good. I feel like some of the characters could have been developed more if the screen time allowed it but oh well. Solid simple movie. If you did like this one I'd recommend Life (2017) and The Bay (2012). Or if you were disappointed and want something similar but better.

An impressive eco-thriller that could do with more clearly delineated characters The debut feature from writer/director Neasa Hardiman, Sea Fever examines such issues as humanity's disregard for the size of our ecological footprint, the knee-jerk argument that if something hitherto unknown can't be exploited for profit then it should be destroyed, and Mankind's utter insignificance in the face of the wonders of nature. Heavily influenced by David Cronenberg's body horror films, Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), and John Carpenter's The Thing (1982), it could do with some refinement, especially in terms of characterisation, and the dénouement is a little anticlimactic, but Hardiman gets the atmosphere spot on, and overall, this is an impressive debut.

[Sitges FF] A proposal that deals with how the human being faces the unknown. The best thing is the claustrophobic atmosphere, and the description of the fears and frictions between a group of people who are surrounded by something incomprehensible. When the nature of fears is represented in the form of viruses, it loses interest. But it builds an interesting reflection on the human condition pushed to the limit.

Had great potential, but a lot of the behaviour felt bizarre. Okay so you think this thing could kill basically all human life, so you don't want to go back to shore and you even go to the lengths of sabotaging the boat, but then you have one captured and you want to let it go instead of studying it so it can attack other boats. It literally attacked another boat, you know that. Makes no sense. Anyways...
