Sea of Fear

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!

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.

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 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.

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!!!
