Summary: Is It The Next Big Horror? No, But God Knows It Tries.
Review: You see, in this movie there's a little actor named...oh God, I dont know his name. Alright, hows this: You see, in this movie there's this dude. Lets call him Bob.
Bob is the main character, a decent actor from old Disney TV shows, who had high hopes that this movie would help out his carrier. Bob showed up at the preimiere with a smile on his face and a pen in his pocket, he was sure afterwards people would come out and chat about how fantastic it was, begging him for his autograph.
But after the preimiere, Bob was dissapointed. People were tripping poor Bob, and the pen fell from his pocket into the depths of hell.
Now becuase of the rest of the horrible actors, boringly bad plot, patheticly cheap scares, and incredibly weak and copied ending. Oh poor Bob. Now even Disney doesnt want him back, and the other filmakers dont either, oh no.
So in conclusion we say goodbye to Bob. You tried to be all you could, but instead of helping you, this movie crapped on your dreams. Sorry Bob. Sorry.

Summary: Not the Best
Review: This movie takes almost half of its entire time to get going. 45 minutes, approximately. It is good after that, but it shouldn't take that long. The concept of a flesh eating virus is new and original, but I was left to wonder how it originated. We see it in a dog in the very beginning, but how'd the dog get it? And what was the story with the 'Pancakes' kid? Don't watch the special feature of him doing martial arts to music in the background. It's time you won't get back. This movie left me with a lot of questions that were left unanswered.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Crappy Fever
Review: This film was complete bunk. I would say "from start to end", but I didn't make it to the end; it progressivley became more and more embarrassing to watch. Scary? Nope. Funny? Definitely not. Cliched? Oh, you better believe it - in fact every horror cliche imaginable was thrown in, although somehow done with less flair and panache than even the Hammer films.

Simply terrible.

Summary: Stay away from this movie, it is a virus..
Review: Five very annoying and unlikeable college kids descend upon a redneck town and vacation in the middle of some redneck woods. While smart college kids are spending time in Florida for their college break these numb-skulls decide to go camping and live in a cabin. In my book this automatically makes them losers and worthy of any virus that will eat their flesh and pretty much eat them like the little goats they are.. Soon enough there is trouble in paradise and this terrible virus is spreading fast and making a mess of a good holiday. Well, they start to die off and I quite honestly couldn't care less. There is this little blonde hair boy who enjoys biting complete strangers and a redneck cop who proclaims that he " loves to party ". I think he repeats himself as much as that dude drops the F-bomb during this movie. I always thought that there existed movies so bad that it renders the viewer blind from eye cancer. Sadly, it also made me deaf. What was that?

Summary: One of the Worst Horror movies Ever Made.
Review: Cabin Fever had so much hype and then became a real disappointment. five friends visit a cabin to party after they just graduated and then an infected hermit arrives and then pukes blood in their truck and then gets burned and then infects the water supply and then each teen gets the virus and then becomes infected and dead. The main reason this movie is a turkey is because the poorly written plot, the plot really ruined the movie because a scene added a character for no reason like the stoner who visits the teens campfire and then leaves and never comes back,the policeman that always want's to party and never cares about the law or his job,and three rednecks that plan to kill the infectious teen and the movie makes no sense like the scene where the little boy is saying"pancakes,pancakes" and does Matrix-like jumps in the air and bites the teens hand and the redneck father blames the teen for making his son sick when the father saw the boy bite him,the other scene is when all three go to the cabin and plan to kill the teen and when the redneck is holding a box the other teen sticks a screwdriver in his ear and what was in the box,the other scene that made no sense but added just to show more blood was the deer scene,and the last scene was the underage drinking party, the infected teen arrives and coughs blood and then bloods shoots everywhere and the policeman dosen't get sick or infected. skip this movie and get Evil Dead.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good movie about illness as horror
Review: Eli Roth is going to be a good director... and that is why you should watch Cabin Fever, not because it is a great horror film (it isn't), not because the acting is on flying form (it is barely there), not because the special effects kick ass (you could do them with whatever is in your fridge), but because there is always something good about watching some kids actually put something together than it is little original or has not been done before, and in that respect illness as the monster is quite effective in that it is done Evil Dead style, not to say that it is as good as the Evil Dead (it does not even come close) but has the same overall feel, but is more funny... in fact Cabin Fever is very funny most of the time.

Yes this film is boxed like an Evil Dead movie and yes there are connections (Kids stuck in cabin in the woods with a 'force' after them), but it does try a few new tricks. Probably the infamous razor in the bathtub scene is the stealer and there are little gems in the movie worth watching for a director in a making.

Just make sure that this is what you want to watch before you rent or buy it. It is one of the better horror around and IMO is a lot better than My Little Eye.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I must defend this movie...
Review: I can understand why many people are down on this movie, it isn't for everyone. As a matter of fact, it isn't for your standard run-of-the-mill horror fan either. It takes a special person to really enjoy this movie. A sick twisted person with a love of satirical wit and an appreciation for the type of effort put into making a film such as this.

Number one, The movie is Supposed to be funny. So none of that "Oh, man this movie is ridiculous...It's not scary at all" No it isn't scary. It's gross. It's hillarious. But it's not scary, don't even buy the movie with that notion in your head.

Number two, the story has plot holes. It goes way over the top in realm of 'unlikely'. But look, it isn't a psychological thriller. Yeah the kids are stupid, the sex is gratuitous, and the acting is exaggerated; but again I stress, it is Supposed to be. It's fun, you go along for the ride with these stupid kids and watch them deteriorate from irritating - to dispicable, then you get to see them get whats coming to them, it's great! If you are the type that wants a movie to take no artistic liberties and make complete logical sense, then you won't like this movie. The plot holes are huge - but who gives a damn? Lighten up.

I recommend this movie if you have a sick sense of humor, are a fan of all aspects of the horror genre, like a lot of gore, and are just looking to be entertained for a couple of hours. The only way this movie will scare you is if you have a fear of plot-holes...In that case, it will terrify you.
