Review of Sea Fever (2020) by Umaumai — 08 May 2020

This is a very good nautical thriller that borders the horror genre. Upfront, you will see some disturbing images during a viewing of this film, but for the most part it’s all done in taste or for the explicit reason of progressing the story.

All of the elements that make a good movie are well balanced here. The casting and dialogue are wonderful. The directing and cinematography is fantastic. The setting and acting are solid. The problem is we’ve seen it all before, possibly in TV shows and other movies you hold dear.

While it’s not the most original story, I still believe that it is worth a watch. I think the weakest part of the film is the music. It’s more ethereal so the instrumentation doesn’t fit with the setting for my tastes.

Mostly electronic it does it’s job to underscore the drama on screen and wasn’t good or bad, it’s just unmemorable for a film where the visuals and visual effects are pretty good.
