In the wake of aquatic horror films Sweetheart and Underwater comes Sea Fever, wherein the crew of a fishing ship fight for survival against an unknown species after becoming marooned.
Written/directed by Neasa Hardiman, the Irish creature feature Sea Fever will release in theaters and on Digital on April 10 courtesy of Gunpowder & Sky’s brand DUST.
Fantastic Fest presents sneak peaks on April 7 at participating Alamo Drafthouse locations.
Check out the official trailer below, teasing something “unfathomable” and quite deadly…
“Siobhán’s a marine biology student who prefers spending her days alone in a lab. She has to endure a week on a ragged fishing trawler, where she’s miserably at odds with the close-knit crew. But out in the deep Atlantic, an unfathomable life form ensnares the boat. When members of the crew succumb to a strange infection, Siobhán must overcome her alienation and anxiety to win the crew’s trust, before everyone is lost.”
Hermione Corfield, Connie Nielsen, and Dougray Scott star.
Our own Joe Lipsett reviewed the film out of the Toronto International Film Festival last year, writing that it’s “a smart character drama that subverts aquatic horror tropes.”
