Plot summary

Feverhouse is a film in which the story is told through the preoccupations of a smug thief, a renegade nurse and a blind archivist. [1]

Reception

Colin Greenland reviewed Feverhouse for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Is the Feverhouse a prison, a lunatic asylum, or a state of mind? Enigmatic, abstract and intense." [1]

Time Out commented that "it hovers dangerously close to pretension, sometimes teetering over the edge, but still remains a darkly individual visual essay, despite its precedents. It's also blessed with an exciting score, a brew of metal gamelan and junkyard bebop from Biting Tongues." [2]
