Marine biology student Siobhan (Hermione Corfield) joins the crew of a trawler fishing the West Irish sea for a research excursion. Taken under the wing of Freya (Connie Nielsen) and Gerard (Dougray Scott), Siobhan and the family are left stranded when their boat hits an unseen object. As they try to figure out how to get back to shore, Siobhan discovers that a parasite has infested the water supply and the group is locked in a race against time to save their lives.<\/p>\n
Sea Fever comes from writer\/director Neasa Hardiman (Jessica Jones, Inhumans) and it takes a very familiar story but tries to do something different with it. The best way I can think to describe it as a cross between John Carpenter’s The Thing and the classic episode of The X-Files Ice. Gerard sails the boat through a restricted zone without informing anyone else that he’s done so. That leaves his crew, and Siobhan, to feel a false sense of security about the trip until Siobhan takes a dive off the book to investigate what they hit and discovers a creature she’s never encountered before.<\/p>\n
