Most media critics are tagging this film as The Thing-on-a-boat, which it is, (with occasional touches of Alien and The Abyss thrown in), but it has its own merits. With eclectic funding and cast/crew, the film plays to its budgetary and location limitations very effectively, creating a sombre and almost embittered tone which is interesting for the genre. Like clockwork, the real hits-the-fan moment at 45 minutes is very strong and well-realised, with the cast playing the character beats well. A well-made entry in a well-worn sub-genre, Sea Fever is hardly revolutionary but it acquits itself well enough.
