Sea of Fear

Despite the fact that I have been a fan of Edward Albert's since a teenager, this film is hardly worth mentioning in his filmography. Albert plays a captain of a sailboat for hire, catering to what looks like rejects from the Laguna Beach set. The movie is pointless, and irritatingly confusing but just silly enough for you to get a chuckle from the fun you are going to be making of it. Of course there is the clichéd scenes dear to every post Jaws rip off that include sharks, and islands. But in this film, these features were especially badly done. One wonders why animal activists didn't applaud the makers of Sea of Fear for making the fish more agreeable than the people. Oh, let me also mention that there is a preposterous "pirate" song rendition added as "atmosphere". I could not understand the words, nor could I possible believe Mr. Albert was at all serious when he gruffs his way through a couple of stanzas. I am not so sure the actor who played "Tom", singing it at the end of the film felt quite the same way. Anyhow, the actors, aside from Mr. Albert are unknown and unknowable, and I hope they did something creative and perhaps compassionate with the money they earned from this stinker. Goodness knows,the producers had no mercy on us.

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!!!

I really wouldn't know where to begin to explain why you are better off just watching an episode of Little House On the Prairy than to bore yourself through the 90 minutes of this gruesome violation of human intellect.

It certainly isn't the end of the movie, 'cause i never got to it even though i fast forwarded most of this joke at 8 speed.

It's like they made this 'movie' to point out how to not write a script, how to not do a movie. The story was so pathetic in every way u can think of when commenting on a film that i can understand why no one bothered to actually write one*.

*it had none when i wrote this

It's insulting even to primates to dish this incoherent, laughable at best (but not even that) excuse for a thriller.

Maybe i should have highlighted the "contains spoiler" option when I say that there is no sane reason for anyone to see this, not even to check out how sad it actually is.

Avoid this even when u are stuck in a 2 by 2 room with no windows for a week and the only thing u have is a TV and a VCR with this ghastly piece of art in it.

Just say no!

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")

I love film, even bad film, but this one was just too filled with technical mistakes, bad dialogue and, for a movie about a sailboat, contained more sailboat related inaccuracies than Wiley Coyote has relative to physics. There was one scene, in particular, where someone wrapped a line around a self tailing winch, in a way that would have jammed and taken a long time to fix.

Other major problems, a 50 foot boat is just too small for 7 people, let alone, an official captain and navigator. Captains of boat under 100 feet do not normally bark orders like "everyone on deck", and never have their own navigator. I am not sure where this is all supposed to have taken place, but the tropical fish that they showed could be found in an aquarium, or in India or Australia. They showed giant kelp beds, like you would find in California, and then stock footage of fish that could not be found anywhere near California.

Had the plot been interesting, maybe I would not have focused in on these details, but I can tell you that this master director/producer/writer must have very little experience with sailboats. Cute girls, nice boat, and lots of pretty backdrops, but crazy inane dialogue and a plot as thin as consume'.

I normally like to recommend bad movies, this one I cannot.
