I'm starting to get sick of these DTV horror films. I know you're probably asking yourselves why I give them a chance in the first place, but you have to believe me, there used to be some good ones (well maybe not good, but at least entertaining). Sea of Fear is certainly not that. It really has nothing going for it. Nothing.

A group of friends taking a sailboat vacation soon begin to disappear. I really don't want to waste any more time discussing the plot, because… really, I don't want to spend much more time discussing the movie.

The biggest problem with Sea of Fear, (and there are a number of problems) is that the film doesn't realize how bad it actually is. Had it been able to take a slightly tongue-in-cheek approach to its own concept and execution, the film may have been slightly more enjoyable. Instead, however, the film takes itself with the utmost seriousness, and when all is revealed at the end, you get the feeling Writer/Director Andrew Schuth is relishing his own cleverness. The climax is so completely unbelievable and over-explained, it's painful to watch, yet the impression is given that the director is truly proud of this film.

Unfortunately, I have to give credit where credit is due. Considering Andrew Schuth is a first time director, and his writing skills certainly leave a lot to be desired, the film has a bizarrely professional look to it, and seems much more polished visually than it has any right to. Not to say it's a beautiful looking film by any means, but the level of quality behind the camera is certainly not consistent with the rest of the film.

How a two million dollar budget was attained for this film, I have no idea. There is no reason this film should have passed the screenplay stage. It should, however, give hope to all you aspiring screenwriters out there. It seems to be possible for any film to get made, and while that's not exactly a good thing for us movie reviewers, it's should give hope to us aspiring screenwriters and filmmakers. There is a market out there for every calibre of script.

"The Infinite Monkey Theorem" – If a monkey, given a typewriter, typed for all eternity (infinity) it would eventually reproduce the works of Shakespeare. While this is more a mathematical theory than anything, it holds relevance in my closing paragraph. Picture this: If it takes one monkey all eternity to produce Shakespeare, than it must've taken one drunken monkey a single rainy evening, with a bottle of Jack Daniels by its side, to write the script for Sea of Fear.
