Why oh why for the love of Christ during a virus outbreak with hardy any food water or heating did this guy decide to paint the wall??? And why couldn't he stay on his feet for longer than 5 minutes? Absolutely fumed me from start to finish unbelievably dull slow pointless story.avoid you have been warned!
I've had more suspense opening a can of beans to reveal the contents.... and more fun too.
It was a 5* rating on Sky, that somehow made it worse. I guess I watched the whole thing to try and find out how it had that rating.
What I discovered was that Sky seem to have given this the wrong title and confused it and it's rating with the 2018 movie by the name of "Fever" and not its actual title that is "Fever Mountain".
Definitely one to miss

Seriously, this must be one of the worst films I've ever sat through. Terrible acting (except for the cat), and no discernible plot line.
Somehow it got padded out to +90 minutes but it's slower than a two legged horse. Avoid like the plague.

I'm rarely (VERY rarely) compelled to turn a film off before its conclusion, but I couldn't make it through this one.
Thrown right into the story with no explanation (and from other reviews I understand that doesn't change for the entirety of the movie) things go from slow to glacial as the gormless protagonist gets jumped in his own home by a hobbled woman in a gas mask then fails to fend her off multiple times.
A stranger eats some cat food, the protagonist eats a spider after failing to open a tin of Shepard's pie... and he paints a wall.
Those are the highlights of the film right there.
It's almost as if they knew how unutterably dull this was and put the painting scenes in as a joke; you are quite literally watching paint dry.
Worst of all as others have mentioned, Sky have this listed as a 4.5 - 5 star!

Now tv (sky) rate this 5 stars hell no. It's bloody awful, terrible story and full of absolutely stupid things that they do. I got frustrated and annoyed watching it. Don't watch this avoid like the plague
