Information About

Fever (film)




Nick Parker ( Henry Thomas ) is a struggling young artist suffering a mental and physical breakdown. When a violent murder happens in his apartment building, it pushes him to the edge of sanity. Suspected by his sister ( Terri Hatcher ) and tracked by a police detective ( Bill Duke ), Parker begins to think he may have committed the murder himself except for the appearance of a mysterious drifter ( David O'Hara ) who has moved in upstairs. Is he a witness or a murderer, and was it all a setup or illusion? The bottom line is: Who can you trust when you can no longer trust yourself?


REVIEWS

  • A.O. Scott in The New York Times : ''Pure Hitchcockian panic. An arresting example of what a talented filmmaker can do with the sparest of means.''

  • Godfrey Cheshire in Variety : ''An eerie, insinuating tale of urban dread and mental breakdown, {Link without Title} reps an impressively sophisticated solo directorial debut.''

  • Dennis Lim in the Village Voice : ''With the director's impeccably chic expressionism and Henry Thomas's persuasive, dread-soaked performance, Fever sustains a convincingly spooky ambience throughout. Winter achieves a degree of technical polish rare among American independents.''


Official Selection, Cannes Film Festival , 1999 .
