best movie i've ever seen.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Fever is a movie that appears very shallow at first glance, but is actually quite complex.The plot is a little confusing, but after a close look; not all that difficult to get. An artist (Nick Parker) is struggling to keep his job as an art instructor. After a grisly murder at his apartment, he begins to slip slowly into insanity.Henry Thomas was OK as Nick Parker. I think they could have gotten someone else to play him, but Thomas wasn't really bad, so to speak. David O'Hara (The Departed) was really good as Will, Nick's neighbor and new slightly insane, creepy friend. Probably my favorite character. Teri Hatcher was very good as Charlotte Parker, Nick's worried, caring sister. You really sympathize with her throughout the entire movie. Bill Duke (Predator) was also very good as Detective Glass.The lighting was what really set the mood for the film. As Nick's sanity vanishes slowly, scenes tend to be darker. And with a low-tone music score added to it, you have a very dark film.Not a bad film, see it before you judge it. 7/10.

Fever is a difficult film, and I mean that in a good way. I think the director is creating a story about the raw emotions and desires in a young man caught in the modern world. We follow a painter in New York City who is not able to achieve his goals and dreams, and as a result, escapes into an alternate reality. However, this reality is as much of nightmare as his waking life. If not worse. Like Lynch and Cocteau, Winter forces us into this man's subconcious, and asks us to feel the terror and despair that affects this confused mind. I really enjoyed the trip.

Fever is an unusual movie for today's moviegoers, slow, disguieting and legitimately frightening. Henry Thomas plays a neurotic urban artist, barely eking out a living and refusing the help of friends and family. A murder in his squalid apartment building knocks the artist off kilter and begins an increasingly paranoid and hallucinatory chain of events. Thomas's performance is an amazing balance of subtlety and intensity. He has the difficult task of appearing in almost every frame and we never grow tired of his presence. Instead the audience is pulled into the mind of this suffering character and forced to confront his demons and dilemmas. The film does not set out to ask "whodunnit", rather to make us experience the singular nightmare of a struggling and sensitive young man alone in the modern world.

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.
