Summary: More funny than scary
Review: When I saw this fill, it was a lot different than I expected. I thought is was going to be like Wrong Turn or Friday the 13th, but it was more like 28 days later. It was enjoyable because it was very funny. It wasn't that scary, but it is nice to see suspense and humor combined. All in all, if you liked 28 days later and really funny movies, you'll like this

Summary: Laughing and Nauseated all at once!
Review: I didn't expect this movie to be good. When I rented it I thought it would be just another run of the mill B movie that would give me a scare or two if I was lucky, and then I would forget it, but I was very happily surprised.The movie does start out with the pre-requsite teens going into to the woods to party at an isolated cabin, and there is some unexplainable disease, no surprises there, but after the movie gets going and the characters begin to develop their little quirks the story is both disgusting and hilarious. I did get scared a couple of times, and I definitely got creeped out by the disease stuff. The part with the girl shaving her legs really makes me happy I have an electric shaver...ewwwww! The townfolk hillbillies are great, especially little Dennis and the store owner. It is the smart, unexpected humor and character development that pull this movie out of the crowd. PANCAKES!!! *lol*

Summary: are you all insane?
Review: I'm sorry, but this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen! Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of campy horror flicks, especially the ones with the usual predictable twists and bad acting...to the point where you would rather laugh than scream...but this movie was so bad I would have rather poked my eyes out than rented the movie in the first place! The plot line has so many holes in it, you have no idea what the hell is going on, or for that matter, why...also, the acting was especially bad. I have seen better acting in the first few Friday the 13th movies, and if you know them, you know how humorously campy those movies are. Please, if you are thinking of purchasing this movie, at least rent it before you buy. Then, you can come to your own conclusion. Mine, if you are interested (which you must be or else you wouldn't have read thus far), is that this is a movie that I won't miss in my collection. Sorry to be so harsh, but I calls it as I sees it...and by the way, what's up with all the potty mouth talk, yo? It's like it's can't be a horror flick without the word "muthafugga" (but much more obscene) not being used at least 30+ times. Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to the occasional cuss word used to express dramatic effect, but come on! In conclusion, I am giving this movie 2 stars, and this is solely based on the gore involved in the movie. It really was the best thing about the entire film, which is really why we are even interested in these types of movies, right?

Summary: Loved it
Review: I really liked this movie. It had me laughing throughout the entire flick. Though the film was actually scarey in some parts, I liked how directer Eli Roth didn't take himself too seriously and he places some great humor throughout. I love the scene when the deer gets hit by the car and then its hooves beat inside the truck and it honks the horn a few times. Awesome horror cult film!

Summary: I GOT DA FEVAH FOR DA CABIN ! ! !
Review: Clearly the intelligence of the viewer is a factor in this wonderful little gem. If ya don't got da brains, den don't jump inta da watah! These beautiful white kids weren't no zombies, mon. They had a flesh eatin' virus and suddenly they's selling each other out so they don't die. It's about irony and how awful people are when they think you could give them a life-threatening disease. The humor in the film is unnexpected and adds another dimension to the tale. Those who think horror movies are only about being scared of a Freddy or Jason don't know squat about horror. It don't have to scare ya to be horror. It just has to have that mix of weird, maybe gore, and dark social commentary that says something about the dark side of human nature---and that's what's truly scary. Peace, word out, mon!

Summary: A unique horror comedy.
Review: It was hard to tell what to expect out of this movie. I had heard opinions from complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Some loved it to death, while others completely loathed it. Needless to say, however, my opinion of this movie is a good one. In fact, I LOVED it. 'Cabin Fever' pays homage to the great horror flicks of the late 70's into the 80's. Taking it's premise from Sam Raimi's classic 'Evil Dead,' the movie revolves around five recent college grads, who head out to the woods for one last weekend of carefree partying before entering the real world. However, things turn more than sour when one character contracts a deadly flesh eating virus through the drinking water (although no one manages to figure it out until the end). Gradually, everyone turns on each other, which turns into madness, which turns into a bloody good time. This movie's main asset is the love story between Paul (Ryder Strong, who has the best XXX name, ever) and Karen (Jordan Ladd). Since the action doesn't really kick in until an hour into the movie, this movie spends a lot of time on exposition. We really get inside the heads of the main characters, that way when they are puking blood, being attacked by vicious dogs, being beaten to death with a shovel, etc. etc., we care. The outside characters, which basically consist of out-of-touch hillbillies (one of them only appears to be racist) are rather interesting and make the movie that much more disturbing (I especially loved that Dennis kid with the mullet). The movie does play with a lot of dark humor (especially the ending) which might turn off a lot of people expecting a full out splatter flick. However, if you are familiar with 'Evil Dead 2,' you can pretty much know what to expect. The movie manages to be seriously scary, depressing and creepy all while injecting humourous elements, which is nearly impossible for most movies to acheive. The subtle references to other, older genre flicks was a nice touch for a fan such as myself (a revised version of a song that appeared in Wes Craven's debut, 'Last House On The Left' makes it's way here). And really, if you're not a fan of the genre and don't want to laugh in between watching people rot, then I advise you stay away. The extras on the DVD are more light-hearted than the movie. We get a 45 second "family version" of the film, a series of claymation shorts by Eli Roth by the name of "Rotten Fruit," which are hilarious and have nothing to do with this movie, a 25 minute documentary on the making of the movie (it's actually interesting!) and of course, Chick Vision, which places super-imposed hands on the screen everytime a scary part happens. PANCAKES!!!

Summary: Good Cult Movie
Review: Hey, if you stumble into this movie by mistake you are an idiot. If you like things like Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive" and Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead II" then you will probably like this--especially with enough perspective (age) to have seen them when they were released. Eli Roth borrows liberally from all his favorite films, but it all works. Nice pacing, good direction, just enough quirks to make this film it's own thing. A damn site more enteraining than Jeepers Creepers, Ghost Ship and the rest of the larger budget crap out there. If you are dopey enough to read a Peter Jackson comment and think it's like LOTR, then you deserve what you get--read and experience more before blathering on!

Summary: What the F*CK???!!!!
Review: You know a movie is in trouble when the trailer starts something like this: "Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy says this movie is good!" Okay. Because you see, the Lord of the Rings was good. Peter Jackson directed Lord of the Rings. Cabin Fever is not Lord of the Rings. However, Peter Jackson directed Lord of the Rings, which was good. Did we mention Lord of the Rings? Huh? He was probably on heavy medication at the time, and then was paraphrased walking out of the theater. What he probably said when someone from the studio shoved a mic in his face was something like "ah, yeah, it was okay." This movie is the the worst film in a year of really bad films. For those of us who thought 28 Days Later was actually worst than 28 Days (starring Sandra Bullock), Cabin Fever makes it look like the 2nd coming of Christ caught on film. A bunch of white kids rent a cottage, turn into zombies, blah, blah, blah, blah, f*cking blah. That is it. Trust me. Hey, I just thought of a new stunt they can do on Fear Factor next season. You have to sit through this film for 10 minutes. If you had the misfortune of having seen this film already, you would be begging Joe Rogan for a plate of worms sauteed in beetle dung instead. I give it 1 star because there is no negative 1000 rating on this site.

Summary: This Movie SUCKED!!!
Review: See above, this movie just plain sucked, I love b-movies and horror movies, I even liked Killer Tongue... but this... this should never have been made, it is a good example of what happend when the same person writes, directs, and produces a movie... there is no one to tell him it SUCKS!!!! most of the movie made no sense, there were tons of loose ends, nothing is ever exlained, people get sick, people die that is the movie. BTW WTF was in the box? anyone know? the only good part of the movie was the end, it was funny.

Summary: Haven't i already seen this?
Review: I thought this movie was ok except it was basically a cheaper version of 28 Days Later. The whole throwing up blood and how they got contaminated really annoyed me because i was looking forward to a scary movie. The only bit i really cringed at was the woman shaving her legs (i wont give it away too much) How many others thought the deer bit was really tacky? Did they run out of money or something?
The best bit, i think, was the ending with the lemonade and bottled water.
