Sea of Fear

Sea of Fear was exhilarating from start to finish. I usually figure out the "who done it" well before the end of a scary movie, but this one had me stymied. I was taken by complete surprise when the villains were revealed at the end. In my opinion, that is the best sign of a fear-flick done well. The acting was top-notch. Both women in the movie were excellent at portraying their characters. Kate was totally captivating. I was enthralled by her low and sexy voice. She made all her scenes thoroughly realistic. This is not a movie for people who aren't prepared to "jump" with fright. Take my word for it, and rent this movie. I will recommend it to all my co-workers in the morning.It is well worth the watch. Enjoy!!!

The college athlete Lance (Burgess Jenkins) and his friend Tom (Kieren Hutchison) meet Tom's girlfriend Kate (Katherine Bailess) and her friend Ashley (Caroline Walker) in a marina to travel in a rented boat in a leisure trip. The Captain (Edward Albert) brings his navigator and first mate Joel (Adam Mayfield) and another unexpected passenger, Derek (Christopher Showerman), in the trip. Sooner the boat is stranded and one by one is murdered on board. Who is the killer?

The awful "Sea of Fear" is a boring film and I regret that I had spent my time watching this despite the warnings in IMDb. Why didn't I believe in IMDb rating and reviews? My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "Mar do Medo" ("Sea of the Fear")

The acting in this film, while not great, is solid throughout and visually there are many instances that look wonderful. The problems start and end with the plot itself. Watching this film you need to totally suspend belief to the level you would expect from watching anime featuring giant robots versus demon swordsman. This is rarely a good thing when watching horror where a touch of realism is almost always required to keep the mood. So much in this film is either totally impossible or just tossed in with no hint of explanation as to why it is even in the movie. The ending helps explain somethings while being unexplainable itself. This movie pushes the limit of being a waste of time and it would be difficult to even list it as mindless horror entertainment. There is very little that is horrific about this movie. Even for a PG-13 movie, there is better horror being shown on basic cable television daily.

I have watched a lot of movies in my time but, i would have to say this movie bombs with the worst of them. Horrible characters, acting, and storyline (or lack there of). I will give credit on the actual look and feel of the movie. It didn't look like a typical turd movie. It still is though. This kind of movie makes me wonder, what does it take to get a movie made? Obviously you do not need a decent actor/actress. You do not need a plot. I assume that all you need is a bunch of idiots and a camera. Well Sea of Fear delivers a talentless cesspool of cinema. In closing, STAY AWAY FROM THIS STINKER! Or you will wonder why you have just wasted a small chunk of your life.

Excluding all the other variables, such story line, cinematography, sound effects, music, etc, the acting within the last 40 minutes of this movie alone, is enough to categorize this movie as one of the worst films of all time. The acting was some of the worst I've ever seen. This movie had it all, repetitive lines, corny acting, extensive nonsensical unnecessary dialogue, and at least one physically unbelievable scene between the penultimate characters. During the last 20 minutes of this movie I was just suffering, waiting for the movie to end so that my final opinion would be based on the entire movie. In short this movie can't even make the grade of watch able. Disregarding genre, when I think of how bad this movie truly is Aeon Flux comes to mind. Ouch!
