this well-made sci-fi horror movie provides its share of prickly dread and mysterious creatures, has a smart female hero, and addresses interesting issues around quarantining
this underwhelming thriller has a monster of sorts but otherwise seems so reluctant to embrace its genre roots that it barely feels like a horror film, or anything else in particular
Neasa Hardiman also displays a decent level of craft here -- enough so that while Sea Fever doesn't exactly grab you, it more or less guards you in its clutches until the final scene
it's a low-budget effort with high ambitions, something that's hard not to admire, and while it often feels like the teaser for a bigger and better movie, it's perhaps a sign that Hardiman is setting sail for Hollywood next
a horror thriller that was absolutely made for our current moment; it deals with themes and philosophical struggles that perfectly align with our present situation. Its timing is perfect, and it's elevated by that timeliness
