Another "Women are strong. Men are weak. rigid, and dependent" vehicle. I don't mind strong female leads but patently ideological works like this are nothing but propaganda. And the story is only marginally interesting. On the plus side production values are pretty good if you like boats.

Some sci-fi/horror movies are just dumb, while others, like Sea Fever, slowly creep up on you with their inanity. When the creature starts burrowing into the wood hull of the ship with it's "tentacles," we can see clearly that the green slime oozing through the wood is eating through it. But of course, the "scientist" just sticks her finger right in it. I was half expecting the dizzy moppet to taste it lol. And then, the captain sees the stuff eating through his boat and he has to swish his fingers in there just for the hell of it. Sometime later, the scientist laments that some or all of the people on the boat could be infected with the "parasites." Wow, really? Unless you want to feel sad and stupid for watching this dreadful heap of refuse, avoid this movie like the plague. Or a parasite.

Ok, the 2 stars go to...the young lead with the red hair for the tension that she adds in the film and to the cinematography which is almost ok...and that's about it. Waste of time and definitely waste of money making this film. Dreadful, slow pace and plot holes together with average acting...i watched it all but should have known after 20 min that this film just aint gonna cut it...i could have ended up watching something so much better. 2/10

This simple horror film takes the age-old fear of the sea serpent, modernizes it, and takes it to new heights. It starts with an unlikely heroine, nerdy graduate student Siobhan, who loves studying oceanography in virtual forms, and has to be pushed to get on a boat and examine it in real life. She finds herself on a small fishing boat, ill at ease with the boisterous crew, who start by exclaiming over the bad luck she, as a redhead, will bring to the voyage. Other seafaring myths and legends are of interest, including one, told to Siobhan by the boat's co-owner, Freya, which becomes relevant to the story. Some of the footage of undersea life not only further the story, but are remarkably beautiful. Siobhan does her best to fit in, and does make a connection with one or two of the crew members. Things take a sinister turn when the ship is impeded by a creature completely unfamiliar to either Siobhan or the crew. The more they investigate, the more dangerous the animal becomes. Suspense builds as the sea creature's intentions and abilities are gradually revealed, Siobhan tries to understand the creature's nature and possible weaknesses, and the crew works frantically to escape or summon help. The director has the sense to keep the monster mysterious as long as possible, adding to the tension. It's a well made, well acted, slow-burning horror story.

You like parasites like thaw or the strain this is a pretty good movie for you, you like good acting this has it in some parts, does the murky depths and unknown sea freak you out, check it out. Then again if you like a well written thought out characters, I feel this is where it fails, they never really come to fruition. Seems as if they wanted to make you feel for all of crew but sort of made you feel meh for all, the ending scene made me go like well that's kinda stupid, decisions were lackluster and the ideas came out of thin air. Had me looking at the screen going but why though. But it was still well shot, so if you can give up on some script and just enjoy the dark oceans. Have Fun

Couldn't even finish watching it actors were lackluster, plot was dismal soundtrack was poorly mixed - hard to hear the dialogue over the ocean background all in all a waste of time
