    Don't go in thinking this is a horror; it's not!
    If you're going into 'Sea Fever' expecting to see monsters or gore, you will be disappointed. If you're hoping to find a clever horror thriller with substance, this is a good choice.

    'Sea Fever' is actually such a well made movie and incredibly relevant with today's Covid-19 pandemic. A young scientist, Siobhan (well portrayed by Hermione Corfield) goes with a fishing trawler to analyze their catch for research. On their way, they are informed the area they are going to is an exclusion zone. However, their boat runs into an unknown object, where it becomes stuck - in the exclusion zone.

    What follows is a claustrophobic nightmare episode for the fishermen, and Siobhan, as they discover parasites in their water supply, infecting those who come in contact with the water.

    The film features all-round good performances and effective suspense and scares thanks to a clever script and good set-up. The visual effects are subtle, yet highly effective. This is so much more than a horror film. This is a disaster drama set in the confines of a boat. 'Sea Fever' is not what I expected, but surprised me with a thoroughly entertaining movie on a different level. I enjoyed it!

    Would I watch it again? Yes.
