Fever is a 1988 Australian thriller film about an Australian policeman who finds a suitcase full of money, and the course of events which unfold when he decides to keep it. The film was directed by Craig Lahiff, and stars Bill Hunter, Gary Sweet, and Mary Regan.

Production

The movie was the second of three low budget thrillers Craig Lahiff made in succession.

Writer Josephine Emery had made a short feature with Craig Lahiff. She says Lahiff's telemovie Coda sold well at the American Film Market and J. C. Williamson's approached Lahiff "with an offer of money to finance a 90-minute thriller, 'if a suitable script were written'. Craig came to me and I wrote a treatment for a thriller based around desperate people in an ugly mining town who would do almost anything to get out. We called it, Fever.

The film was made with the assistance of the South Australian Film and Television Financing Fund.

The film was meant to be shot in Port Pirie but the budget did not stretch to location shooting so it was filmed in Port Adelaide.
