When a violent murder occurs in his Brooklyn apartment, struggling artist Nick and his noisy neighbor Will suspect each other of the killing. But after Nick begins experiencing hallucinations and blackouts, he begins to suspect that Will could be right.
The New York Times by Dana Stevens
Every shot seems measured for maximum effect, and when the pace suddenly quickens in a late action sequence on a deserted subway train, it results in a moment of pure Hitchcockian panic that reverberates like thunder in the fretful, melancholy air.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
This offbeat drama has more atmosphere than logic, but a few sequences are strikingly well acted and filmed.
You can see the strenuously grand conclusion of Alex Winter's clammy psychological thriller, Fever, coming a mile off, but the director's impeccably chic expressionism and Henry Thomas's persuasive, dread-soaked performance make the wait a painless one.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
While this paranoid thriller is overly familiar, it's still plenty unsettling.
Excellent performances.
New Times (L.A.) by Gregory Weinkauf
Austere little creep-out.
The only surprise here is how a film with so much promise could ultimately settle for so little.
An interesting - but very slow paced - thriller.
