90
The New York Times
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.

80
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
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.

70
LA Weekly
F. X. Feeney
Excellent performances.

63
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
While this paranoid thriller is overly familiar, it's still plenty unsettling.

50
TV Guide
Ken Fox
The only surprise here is how a film with so much promise could ultimately settle for so little.

50
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
An interesting - but very slow paced - thriller.
50
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
This offbeat drama has more atmosphere than logic, but a few sequences are strikingly well acted and filmed.

40
New Times (L.A.)
Gregory Weinkauf
Austere little creep-out.
