Title: Cabin Fever (2002) |

Review of Cabin Fever
Eli Roth once lived on a farm, and during his stay there he contracted a strange yet curable skin disease. At one point while shaving, he actually skinned off quite a few layers of his own skin, right down to the flesh. This gruesome bit of non-fiction became the basis for the film Cabin Fever, which he wrote and directed. This movie is about five friends who are rent a cabin in the woods for a bit of relaxation after college finals. However, upon arriving at the cabin they proceed to violate every moral code established by society. One of the group accidentally shoots a hermit who is infected with a flesh eating virus, but instead of helping the sick man he leaves the hermit for dead. Soon, the hermit shows up at their cabin asking for help, and in a tense series of events the teens end up setting the man on fire. However, this is not the end of their worries. Anyone could be infected by this virus and they become paranoid, turning on eachother throughout the movie, as well as dealing with the very strange locals. This is one very original horror film, mixing dark comedy and gruesomely disgusting scenes perfectly, as well as paying homage to many great horror films to come before it. This movie is definately a must own for any horror fan, and everyone should expect great things from Eli Roth in the future, as this is definately not the last flick he'll make. Look for Roth himself in the small role of Grim, a pot smoking skater.

I kinda enjoyed this film. So many people criticised it, but they all seemed to miss the vital fact that it's a comedy - a fact that was kept well hidden before the films release, which is why no-one quite knew how to react. Its sick, but it's definately amusing!
Score: 6

i actually loved this movie you should at least rent it the ending was funny and dont forget when those rednecks hunt that kid down in the woods but kill him in his cabin.I thought when that kid started doing kung-fu the creators of this movie were high.

Compare this to REAL 70s horror movies like The Exorcist, Dawn of Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, Summer of Fear, Martin, The Crazies, Suspiria, Deep Red, Inferno, Halloween, or The Fog, and you'll see why this so-called "70s homage" is less a 70s homage and more a steaming pile of monkey crap.

outbreak meets evil dead. good and watchable, but done before. watch it for the hot chick and to see why squirrels should die.

No movie sucked more ass than this one.
Score: 5 - Posted by Anonnymous on December 23, 2004
When I first saw it, it was completely not what I expected. I thought it was going to just be about these people stuck in a cabin in the middle of nowhere and turning on eachother. I had no idea it was about a flesh eating virus. I also loved the funny saying about the shotgun at the end. There is a lot of gruesome scenes which includes a shower scene, and no it's not what your expecting. I really like this movie and wanna get it for my collection!

This movie had a really good plot, and the actors were awesome, but somehow it just wasn't as good halfway through. It kind of gets predictable and stupid.
Score: 8 - Posted by viciouslollipop on February 2, 2005
Ok, forget the plot, forget the actors and lets focus on the gore factor for a moment shall we.Now quite a few horror movies to come out were supplying us with the standard fare,hack and slash, and we were lulled into it. Its like eating Kraft Dinner, not that tasty but quick and easy. Cabin Fever brought us back to the originality of gore. I mean who cant stare in morbid fascination as a girl gets her face chewed on by a dog, while still alive. To this day i still think about the bathtub scene when i'm shaving my legs....girls you know what I'm talkin about, especially around the achillies tendon. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Now the actors were great, and i loved the irony of the plot. all in all this movie was great.
