Rating: Summary: Disappointing Review: I had heard a lot of rave reviews about Cabin Fever saying that it's fresh and full of twists, but as a whole the film is nothing new to the horror genre. The film shows plenty of promise, but the contradictory story and some incredibly stupid kids doing some incredibly stupid things even when they know they shouldn't make Cabin Fever a very disappointing horror film. Cabin Fever does have it's share of good points though: the performances from Detroit Rock City co-stars James DeBello and Giuseppe Andrews are funny and help carry the film along, and there is plenty of blood and guts, and the scene where one of the girls who is contagious decides to shave her legs is gut churning. Director Eli Roth tried to make a fun horror film, and Cabin Fever kind of works in that method, but one can't help but feel disappointed after viewing this. Cabin Fever is still worth a look for older horror fans who enjoyed other recent Lions Gate horror films like House of 1000 Corpses, May, and Frailty, but don't go in with high expectations.
Rating: Summary: not what you think.... Review: ok, when watching this movie you have to realize its not meant to be a serious really scary horror movie, which i dont think a lot of people realize. its more of a comedy than anything, and thats really what its supposed to be. its kind of like evil dead 2, and those types of movies. it has its horror and gore qualities, but at the same time its meant to be over the top and silly. so if you're actually looking for a good horror movie, i wouldn't suggest this movie, but if you're just looking for a fun movie to watch, and you don't mind a lot of gore, then definately check it out. i enjoyed this movie quite a bit.
Rating: Summary: Hey Doctor, I have this sore on my lip... Review: If you are into puerile humor, BUY NOW!!! You need to watch the DVD special features FIRST!!!!! I did not do so and was a bit disgusted and bewildered by the actual film. As a teaser, "Pancakes"-Outrageous mullet-headed-demented child actor from the film does martial arts kata complete with bo-staff to an old punk song called "Gay Bar". Absolutely hysterical!!! I will not spoil the other special features "Chick Vision", "Cabin Fever-The Family Version", and the piece de resistance "The Rotten Fruit". If you like South Park and outrageously irreverent humor, "The Rotten Fruit" is for you. In my humble opinion, the special features alone are worth the cost of the DVD. The director of this film and the co-creator of "The Rotten Fruit" Eli Roth is one clever individual, and on the official "The rotten fruit" website (all one word for url), there is a note stating that a full DVD of "The Rotten Fruit" is on it's way!!!
Rating: Summary: It's simple! Review: This movie sux don't buy, rent, or even see it! Waste of time and money. MST3K anyone?
Rating: Summary: Cannot understand rave reviews Review: I just can't understand why this movie got all these great reviews from critics. Maybe it just proves that mainstream movie critics don't have a clue what makes a good horror film. There are so many problems with this movie - where do I begin?1. The teenagers move the sick girl to a shed outside the cabin to avoid getting the "disease", yet hours later they seem to have no problem touching her and getting her blood all over themselves. Why didn't they just lock her up in the room in the first place? 2. Again, these characters are supposed to be avoiding the "disease" at all costs, yet one of the teenage morons dives right into a reservior which contains one of the dead diseased bodies! Way to avoid all contact with the disease, moron! 3. What the heck was up with the little kid at the country store? "Pancake pancake"! Little bit of karate here, a little arm-biting there. What in the heck was the point of that? 4. The guy that swallows his harmonica. Did the filmmakers assume this movie would eventually show up on MST3000? I heard great things about this movie, but I'm wondering if they saw a different version than I did. What a waste of my time!
Rating: Summary: Amazingly Bad Movie Review: My wife and I enjoy the horror/thriller genre and, as such, usually we are "generous" in our expectations, having seen so many that turn out to be pretty lame movies. But as many other reviewers have said, this one is truly a colossal waste of your time and money. I have a personal rule that I will sit through a movie in its entirety, no matter how bad it seems, because I always have hope that it will get better or simply that I've invested (?!) so much time already that I'll force myself to tuff it out and maybe be "rewarded" with a clever ending or something worthwhile. Not so with this one. The plot had potential, but the choppy editing, bland acting, idiotic dialog (even when put into perspective that these ARE college kids and that's how they talk sometimes), and unimaginative directing combine to make this a painful experience to endure. Other reviewers point out that this movie borrows ideas and scenes from many other movies, and you'll notice them if you are even a modest fan of horror movies. This "borrowing" (plagiarizing?) of material wouldn't be so bad except you come to realize you might be watching an un-funny version of "SCARY MOVIE", which so effectively parodies the standard horror genre. As others have indicated, you'll be literally robbed of 90 minutes of your life by watching this. My wife even made that comment at the end, and I almost stopped the movie a few times myself because it was so bad. And remember: we are very forgiving and grade these movies on a very liberal scale. After watching this movie you'll likely feel the same way as us and others, and think, "Gee, I could make a movie better than this!" Maybe that is the only redeeming value of this movie: I guess movies this bad inspire the next generation of writers, actors and directors. Low budget doesn't always equal bad movie, but in this case it does.
Rating: Summary: What a dumb movie. Review: Now, I expected very little of this movie, having never heard of it. But a few people here at this site brought this movie up for their reviews of a better horror film, "Wrong Turn." At least "Wrong Turn" had a discernable story, with a direction for the characters to follow. This steaming heap of refuse is simply a mess. The acting is bad, the plotting and editing is worse, and this movie is just gory for gore's sake. Sure, Fangoria fans will lap up this garbage for the decent make-up effects and half the characters spewing blood everywhere, but it serves no purpose other than to be as nasty as possible. At no time did I care whether any of these characters made it out alive. Another thing that is growing tiresome is that whenever there is a group of teenagers in the woods alone, they apparently have a collective IQ of 60. Now, I'm no longer a teen, but I still believe teens are more intelligent than the ones portrayed in these gore-fests. It would be a lot more interesting if they were to fight back using ingenuity or just plain grit and tenacity. This also has the same plot as another horrible movie called "The Curse" but with an ending stolen from "The Night of the Living Dead." This movie wasn't completely stupid or worthless, but it came pretty close.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Movie!!! Review: I thougth this movie was EXCELLENT. Most people weren't too thrilled. I will tell you what makes this movie so great: >>>Think about it... it could really happen if you know anything about diseases think of the Ebola Virus >>>OK what really got me to like this movie so much.. >>>>The way they acted toward each other.. It was just so real how they turned on each other..their mannerism toward each other was so realistic. >>>One of they girls who gets the virus first ....they throw her in a shed and lock her up and she basically rots away >>This part I really can't type it here so I will try to use proper words.. after two of them have sex.. the guy dumps Listerine on his____well you know. Because he doesn't want to get the virus. Funny but people in a state of panic would probably do such a thing. >>>>The one guy just leaves and takes his booze with him..he gets it in the end...loved that >>>Shaving and the skin comes off >>>If you watch the special features the director says that he got the idea because when he went to Irealand, he got a flesh eating virus(curable of course) and when he shaved his skin came off. I am a horror movie fanatic and I just thought this was great all the way around. I guess there were just mixed feelings about this movie but I LOVED IT
Rating: Summary: Worst Movie Ever Review: I was unfortunate enough to actually go to the theater to see this movie. Even more unfortunate, I picked the flick and saw it with a group of subordinates, with the idea of getting them out of the office for a while to have a little fun. This is by far the worst movie I have ever paid to see, and to be honest, I would pay someone not to watch it. The makers of this movie didn't seem to really know what it was supposed to be - horror, comedy, action. The horror was non-existent, the comedy was rotten. They even decided to throw in some "matrix" like moves. I can't even come up with the proper words to say to describe this thing. All I can really say is...don't waste your time.
