Sea of 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.

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 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.

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!

This movie is to psychological thrillers what porno's are to romantic comedies.

Awful script, painfully poorly acted, and awkward transitions make this among the worst movies ever.

The cinematography was the only semi-decent 'quality' for this black hole of time. I am saddened to think that the time I lost watching this flick will be gone forever.

I want to know who paid for this movie to be produced. I have a sneaking suspicion that Violet's daddy (From Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) put up the money to satisfy a spoiled child.

SAVE YOURSELF and STEER CLEAR!
