Rating: Summary: Cabin Fever, a brilliant piece of garbage Review: Okay, I'm getting tired of people missing the point of this movie, and the point of it is not to scare you, but merely to entertain you. The movie isn't scary and it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be an artsy parody. The movie starts out with a homely looking guy getting a disease from a wolf - after the credits end we meet our unsuspecting victims, college kids that just finished for the year. These kids will take a journey to the woods, the cabin they go to doesn't even have a road to it!... and immediatly after seeing this you know what's going to happen: You're gonna see breasts, infatuation, drinking and lots of deaths set up in 70's old school horror format. It essentially pays homage too as well as parodies older horror flicks such as House of the Living dead, and the Living Dead. The acting was actually quite good if you bear in mind when watching this movie that the actors are supposed to act cheesily because they are paying homage to horror flicks of the past. My advice to you the viewer is go out and buy this flick, it's so much better than all the other terrible horror movies out right now. Cabin Fever is not scary, but when was the last time you saw a horror movie that was! Atleast this movie is hilarious in intelligent ways aswell as disgusting and grotesque for all you blood lovers out there.
Rating: Summary: OK Movie special features gave it a 4 Review: This was an entertaining movies and parts were definately creepy and made you jump in your seat. As I watched this movie I kept getting reminded of various movies I had seen in the past such as evil dead and night of the living dead. These scenes were well done but still don't live up to the originals, but hardly anything will. The special features on this dvd is what gave it 4 stars, I enjoyed all of the behind the scenes and the rotten fruit. It even has chick vision so that the scariest scenes will disappear. I rented this movie, but I think it would be one that I might buy for the right price.
Rating: Summary: Huge waste of time and money Review: This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. About half way through the movie I was ready to turn it off. I'm glad I only wasted a few dollars by renting it, but that was still too much. If you have any standards for plot, acting, believability, ect. you will avoid this mess.
Rating: Summary: Over hyped (...) Review: I dont know what the hype about this movie is all about? Alot of reveiws where saying the movie was too gorey, I didnt seem to see anything too gorey? This is a badly cast movie about your typical horney teenagers who go up to a cabin in the woods to party, but instead of a guy in a hockey mask slashing them to peicaes, they find themselves infected with a virus and no one around to help!The plots cheesy, and it almost seems like it was a movie that they figured was too short, so they just added some absolutly useless bits and peaces in between to make it run a bit longer! I mean whats with the pancakes kid and the kung fu moves? There is no point at all as to why some things are in this movie at all? I'd recomend you rent it if your intrested in it. Dont take the risk of buying it, its not somthing i'd want to watch ever again! And you might feel the same way too! The acting is pethetic, and bits and peaces just come and go leaving you wondering what the hell it had to do with the movie at all? And again, bad acting! A couple of humoures attempts have been thrown in that made me chuckle, but it does not improve this lame movie! (...)
Rating: Summary: Interesting, but ultimately lazy Review: First off, let me make clear that I GET this movie. I picked up the classic horror references; I dug the cover of the song from "Last House on the Left," appreciated the references to "Evil Dead," "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and "Night of the Living Dead." I also readily forgave the mediocre acting (who watches horror films for great acting?) and appreciated the cinematography, occasionally on-target humor, and well-rendered gore. Through most of the film, I was having a pretty good time. The problem here is that the filmmakers essentially crapped out and settled for in-jokes rather than an ending. Yes, many of the loose ends were clearly tips of the hat to other films -- like the mysterious "kit" that the local guys take with them to investigate what's happening at the cabin -- but the real challenge when you're doing a Tarantino-esque, postmodern pastiche is to weave the allusions into a clever and coherent narrative. That doesn't happen here: we have film "quotes" for their own sake, and a story that devolves into a twist-free gore-fest that's predictable in all the wrong ways. The director manipulates the cultish characteristics of horror fans to great effect: there is a certain sense of pride in "getting" the allusions here, and that sense of self-satisfaction leads people (and I have been guilty of this myself) to overvalue a mediocre film because it makes them feel like part of a club, an elite group in the know. To me, though, that isn't enough: I want a film that stands on its own -- in-jokes and nods to horror lore should be icing on the cake. Here, too often, they ARE the cake. In the director's commentary, he tells about a screening at a film festival in which several members of the audience walked out after 15 minutes. He thought the film was bombing, but they were actually leaving to bid on it. The film, oddly, feels as if he knew about this ahead of time, and put together 2/3s of a film tied together by a lame and gimmicky non-ending. This film has some strengths, as I mentioned above, and I wouldn't be surprised if this director goes on to make some very good films working with superior scripts. This one, though, ultimately disappoints.

Rating: Summary: The Worst Film In The History Of Hollywood. Review: THRILL to a decent blurb and convincingly enthralling opening credits! CHILL as you slowly realise what you've wasted your money on! SPILL hot tears of angry shame all down your front as your friends and family disown you for making them sit through this reprehensible streak of Brown! Normally, when I review a movie, I pick out certain factors that I like, just to try and be specific. I cannot do that in this review as there was not one single portion of this film that I found acceptable, much less entertaining. Kids go into woods. Kids die. Twist in the tale. Roll credits. The End. We have seen it ALL before and SO much better done than this load of pap. I think the very worst feature of this awful film is the totally disjointed quality of some of the characters and situations that the moviemakers throw at us. Why would the hero have mad sex with a friend's girlfriend moments after his own childhood sweetheart has died? Why would a redneck little boy in a fright-wig mullet know karate? Why on earth would a brainless pot-head know anything at all about motor engines? Do not rent, buy, watch on TV or otherwise entertain this sorry little excuse for a movie. I have rarely hated a film more, and I've sat through 'Fear of the Dark' and 'Wes Craven's They'. Absolutely Awful.

Rating: Summary: Awful! Just Plain Awful! Review: What's more worse than seeing the last 10 minutes of this film? Try viewing the first 82! Very awful film by first time director Eli Roth, who in months before the theatrical release of the film was hyped up by a few horror magazines as the next "King of Horror!!!!!" Can you believe that!?! Can you believe that this film (after being screened at a film festival) was in the middle of a bidding war for distribution rights between four companies!?! Yes, that's right, guys! Four companies!!!! Lions Gate Films eventually won the rights to the film. I wonder how much they had to fork over for this unwatchable piece of garbage.
Rating: Summary: One of the worst movies I've ever seen!!! Review: HORRIBLE!! Run away! Don't waste 92min. of your life on this turd of a supposed horror movie! The acting is so bad, it makes porn movie acting look Academy Award quality! I am very forgiving when it comes to movies as well, but this is waay beyond forgiveness!! It just reeks of cheesiness, without being good at it, or relishing in it for entertainment's sake! What really sucks, is that the cinematography is very top notch -too bad it's wasted on such a terrible movie ...1/2 star for that. Also, another 1/2 star for the sound -it has a good mix that will make you jump out of your seat a few times. It's really too bad the nudity wasn't more gratuitous to give this movie more of a chance... just look what it did for Showgirls!
