Sea Fever (Sci-Fi Eco-Thriller)

[Cremildo]

Irish filmmaker Neasa Hardiman’s feature-film directorial debut, which looks to make waves [...] with its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The sci-fi horror tale, an opening-night entry in the festival’s Discovery program, follows marine biology student Siobhán as she embarks on a miserable weeklong residency aboard a ragged fishing trawler where she’s miserably at odds with the salty, close-knit crew. A mystery envelopes the expedition, however, when an unfathomable life form emerges from the deep blue Atlantic and crew members succumb to a strange infection. Siobhán must win the trust of the crew and unravel the briny mystery before all is lost.

Sea Fever stars Hermione Corfield (Rust Creek) in the lead role and features Connie Nielsen (Wonder Woman), Dougray Scott (Ever After), and Hermione Corfield, Ardalan Esmaili (Greyzone), Jack Hickey (Penny Dreadful), Olwen Fouéré (Mandy), and Elie Bouakaze. [SOURCE]
