To sum-up: Fever is a very dark, shadow-filled look into the formation of emotional disease and discomfort. The acting is very good on Henry Thomas' part as well as the direction by Alex Winter (Bill from the infamous Bill & Ted films) but the storyline has a few out-of-place moments and enough awkwardness to make even the sleepiest of viewers cringe.
Pro's & con's:
+ Henry Thomas' performance (you'll have trouble believing that it's the kid from E.T.)
+ Alex Winter's high quality and sometimes colorful directing style (including some nice, steady camera work which was more fitting for a film like this)

- Very cheap visual effects
- By the time it ends you'll feel like you've wasted your time
