Sea Fever Movie Review
A group of folks on a ship get stranded near Ireland. Unfortunately for them, something very large is stalking them. This movie, shot in 2019 and released in 2020, is one that doesn't exactly come out of the gate with guns blazing--it's much more of a slow burn, and you may find yourself wondering if you want to keep watching the movie, but stick with it. As the story develops, we end up with interesting characters, a solid plot, plenty of bloodshed, and a vicious killer.
But it looks so pretty!
What we think might be some sort of giant squid turns out to be a lot more dangerous, as the threat becomes many small organisms on the ship instead of outside it. The cross between the old creature features and the more recent killer virus flicks is done exceptionally well in this movie. The acting is--get ready for it--actually good in this movie, with Connie Nielsen and Hermione Corfield leading the way. The movie is visually impressive, from the gore to the creature to the overall cinematography. As the parts of it we did see looked so cool, I would have liked to have seen more of the giant monster--that said, leaving the rest of the creature unseen added a great deal of terror. The ending was somewhat unexpected, certainly memorable, but not necessarily pleasing. Still, Sea Fever is a good movie and one worth checking out.
