Summary: OK- WHAT"S UP WITH THIS
Review: Ok- the movie was ok- but gross to say the least. I wasn't scared, but I walked out of the movie feeling like I was going to puke!!! Anyway- I am a big Boys Meets World fan and the ending was frankly disappointing (see the movie and you will understand) anyway- i would recommend this movie only to those individuals that are craving sick, gross, graphic and bloody effects- not someone who is hoping to be scared or scare someone else

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "Alright"
Review: I don't really see what people liked so much about Cabin Fever. It wasn't really that good. I was at the theaters expecting to watch this great, frightening horror movie but instead I got a movie that had the biggest cliché of them all. Well I'm not saying this movie was boring or anything in fact it was quite entertaining and even managed to provide us with some laughter. What really separated Cabin Fever from many horror movies is it had a purpose and wasn't pointless. It has a chilling message to offer and that's what I liked about it. It's definitely the type of movie you go to blockbuster on a Saturday or Friday night and rent or if you're a horror fan buy. Overall Cabin Fever was alright but there are some better movies out there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best in Years
Review: Simply put, this is as good as any horror movie can be these days. It's all been done before, that's a fact, but this one has a great energy, all the things that make horror good, and when it's funny, it's not cheeseball "let's appeal to everyone" type funny. The story is familiar, but to this horror fan who's almost always disappointed, this movie means there's still hope for the genre. Enjoy.

Summary: Best movie of '03
Review: This IS...and WILL BE...the best movie of 2003. Yes! not only the best horror movie, but....the BEST MOVIE OF 2003. However, I am completely unsurprised by the amount of bad feedback this movie has been given. People seemed to be trapped into their own misunderstanding of what quality cinema is. The top ten grossing movies in 2003 were: Finding Nemo, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Matrix Reloaded, Bruce Almighty, X2, Terminator 3, Elf, Bad Boys II, The Matrix Revoluions and Anger Management. People need to get off their butts and go watch movies that actually make you feel emotion. The List is freaking lacking. Cabin fever packs a HUGE punch, a seriously funny/disturbing story line and delivers an insane/comedy/gory/action filled movie. Go see it right the heck now (For your fathers sake). It will own you.

Summary: Scary at the least
Review: Cabin Fever. What a interesting movie. It was scary to say the least. When four college students decide to take camp in a cabin near a red-neck kind of town, they all realize that something ain't right. A weird guy with a real bad case of the flu actually has a mysterious flesh-eating bacteria. Soon the students become overwhelmed with paranoia and fear.
The story isn't half bad. I actually became a little scared and disgusted by the make-up effects. The humor and in-jokes about the rednecks are pretty funny. The finale is pretty dissapointing though. And the credits with the hillbillie music
is just plain stupid. All in all not bad. I'm not expecting a Cabin Fever 2 though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gory Feast
Review: I loved this film it was surprising and above everything else it did disturb me. I am a fan of this kind of film, not taking itself to seriously. I was shocked in parts and laughed heaps too. I did not like Texas Chainsaw (the new one) one little bit. THIS movie has character and style and a unique quality. It does remind me of such films as Evil Dead but its very clever and its more of a ride than a movie!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: awful just awful
Review: PANCAKES!!!!!! My hopes were so high for this movie,but its stupid and cheap.I give every movie a chance, but I had to leave before the final twenty minutes were up. It had dumb moments from start to finish,and worst of all no characters to root for or really hate.I cant believe a bottom of the barrell flick like this can be released in theaters when exciting ones like DOG SOLDIERS,BELOW,EQUILIBRIUM,and GINGER SNAPS get sent direct to video.Go watch EVIL DEAD and 28 DAYS LATER instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the horror flicks in recent years
Review: Cabin Fever was an amazing film. Though the publicity campaign was somewhat misleading (I thought it was going to be a rural slasher film), it ended up being a brilliant horror flick complete with comedy, though lacking any psychological bent. Besides, it has Rider Strong, who knew you could go from Boy Meets World to a bloody slasher.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ok
Review: This movie was STUPID. I mean it didnt even have a plot line well i kinda did. For the first 30 minutes we just sat there but in the rest of the movie we started to bust up laughing. Because it was just sooooooooo stupid. So if I could i would give this movie a -1

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Valentine to 70s Splatter
Review: An unashamed throwback to the gory, glory days of yore, "Cabin Fever" is writer/director Eli Roth's valentine to 70s splatter, with cupid's bloodied arrow aimed firmly at the early works of Raimi, Craven and Hooper.

The plot is bespoke low-budget shtick with a twist. Five deeply annoying teens take the usual inexplicable woodlands trip to a remote log cabin with beer, pot and raging hormones in tow.

So far so "Evil Dead". The difference here is that the killer is not a supernatural force or - despite the presence of colourful locals - a hillbilly psycho. Instead, it's a contagious flesh-eating disease, whose virulence is maintained through an infected water supply. Nice.

As the gang starts to fall apart (literally in some cases) half the fun for the audience is in witnessing just how severely this virus takes its toll. Horror buffs who have been dining too long on paltry, anaemic genre parody will relish Roth's determination to deliver the kind of visceral sucker-punch that's been absent from the big screen for decades.

Even more surprising is the ferocity with which the kids turn on each other as they cling on to gossamer thin notions of survival. Cue SARS style paranoia and too-little-too-late ideas about separate eating rules and quarantines, as tempers - and skin tissue -start to fray.

Sounds too good to be true, but a plodding mid-section slackens the pace,while Roth's attempts to diffuse the carnage with comic asides are variable. It may also have been more than just a little over-hyped. Sure, for an audience reared on "Valentine" or "Wrong Turn", this is going to
seem like a real pants-filler. On the other hand, aficionados expecting a modern horror classic to match the sense of dread of "Texas Chainsaw", the freshness of "Evil Dead" or the cruelty of Craven's "Last House", are going to be seriously disappointed.

Even so, in the last third, Roth finally lets rip, delivering a couple of choice moments destined to linger long in the memory of even the most jaded gore hound. Female viewers take note - you may want to shave your legs before seeing this movie. Chances are afterwards, you won't want to
for a very, very long time.
