BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

HumanoidOfFlesh Alex Winter's "Fever" is one of the creepiest independent thrillers I have ever seen.Nick Parker,a struggling young painter,is suffering a mental and physical breakdown.When a violent murder occurs in his apartment building,Nick begins to suspect that he may have committed the crime himself.From this event begins the downward spiral of paranoia and illness that ends in the horrifying climax.The film is extremely atmospheric as it looks almost like painting.The hallucinations of Nick are undeniably creepy.The photography by Joe DeSalvo is excellent and the production design adds a lot to the atmosphere.The film is pretty tough to find,but if you get a chance watch it.Highly recommended.

brownbunnyboy Simply put, Alex Winter is a genius. Thank you for taking me on this journey. "Fever" is a film any film lover should see with an open mind. Eyes open, ears tuned in... Enter this beautifully atmospheric film... It's unfortunate that it's from another time... ahead of this one. A super film, and a great dvd too! Make some more, Alex! Keep it personal, and don't compromise. This film rocked like Elvis and David Bowie rockin' in New Orleans! Dark, dynamic, and visionary!

George Parker Winter doesn't seem to have his head around the screenplay for "Fever", a dark and morose drama about a young, disturbed NYC slum dwelling artist (Thomas) who is caught up in a trio of murders . The film paints a portrait so nebulous as to leave many questions unanswered as it plods toward an unsatisfying conclusion with a sort of Hitchcockesque style. Unfortunately we're not given reason to care about the principle and are left to wait for the other shoe to drop all the way to rolling credits. "Fever" is an okay watch technically and artistically which offers solid performances. However, the screenplay misses opportunities to put more meat on the bones of a story with unrealized potential. Okay fodder for couch potatoes into quirky film noir psychodramas.

J.Lauren Fever is an exceptionally well-crafted film which creates its own, dream-like world. The story is sparse, but revolves around a struggling young painter who lives in a run-down apartment building in New York City. He is already suffering from many anxieties and hardships, and when a murder occurs in his building, he begins to come completely unhinged. Some friends I saw it with compared it to Polanski or the Coen Brothers' Barton Fink. It's easy to see the comparisons, but this film is more quiet and has a subtle, creeping effect on the audience. It also has a surprising amount of heart for a disturbing thriller of its kind. I really cared about the fate of the protagonist - who is brilliantly portrayed by ET's Henry Thomas. The other actors are excellent as well, particularly David O' Hara as an enigmatic drifter and Teri Hatcher as the artist's sympathetic sister. The look and sound of the film are totally unique. The imagery is rich and beautiful, and the sound effects and music are deceptively complex and effective. I don't know when this film is going on general release, but I hope it's given a good distribution because it's a powerful, uncommonly sophisticated little gem of a movie.
