Summary: How can you not like this movie?!
Review: This movie is the funniest, and most creativly gory movies, I've seen in a long, long, time! This movie has it all: boobs, funny jokes, a screwdriver to the ear, a swallowed harmonica, a guy fallig on a rotten infected corpse in a lake.....it goes on and on.
But if you don't like this movie, buy the dvd any way simply for "THE ROTTEN FRUIT" episodes! It is the Best claymation I have ever seen, and it kicks South Park in the face!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I'm feeling ill
Review: My newest DVD player allows me to watch a movie at the 1.5 speed and still hear the dialogue. With a movie like this, that is a must-have extra. It saved me from wasting more time on this piece of toxic medical waste.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cabin Fever
Review: This movie is very very very sick.Yet it it still fun to watch.
I really enjoyed this movie because I love horror but only if it's something new.There's nothing I can't stand more than seeing a movie where it's like I've seen it all before.But this movie is kind of different.There is no masked killer hacking up some stupid kids throughout the whole movie. The 'masked killer' is a virus/infection that the kids get and their skin starts rotting and they start coughing up blood.You MUST have a strong stomach or you will puke your guts out in this movie.I am able to watch very gruesome movies without feeling queasy but I watched this, and felt like puking afterwards.It's still one of my favorite movies though,for some reason.The only reason i gave this movie 4 stars instead of 5 is becuase the movie tries too hard to be darkly funny.There were a few scenes where I did laugh but I think this movie would have been better if the writers would have stuck to being scary and not trying to put some comedy in there.I thought so,and so have a lot of other people,that the movie ended very scary,but tried to be funny,so at the end of the movie it just seemed like a big joke.Nevertheless, I still bought this movie because I have never seen a movie that grossed me out more since 'Candyman'.

Summary: Possibly the worst movie ever
Review: I am a college student and this movie was recommended to my boyfriend. we watched it for about 1 1/2 hours and neither one of us cared to see the ending. Not only was this movie absolutely vile, it was the most unrealistic portrayal of college students that I've ever seen and I go to the great party school, LSU. The sex scenes appeared to be written by someone with about the maturity level of a thirteen year old boy that is still lighting his farts on fire.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: LEG SHAVER
Review: CABIN FEVER had its moments, and director/writer Eli Roth definitely shows the influence of such films as THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE and LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. But..
*Where did the virus come from?
*What was it with the biting kid and the pancake kung fu?
*Why did every other word have to be the F word; writers think it's cool..it just shows how void they are of any creative dialogue.
*Why do they always portray rural people as ignorant rednecks and beer guzzling fools?
*Why did they cast people like Joey Kern who couldn't act his way out of a strait jacket?
But, the biggest bonus of this film is the beautiful love them written by the wonderful Angelo Badalamenti (TWIN PEAKS). It's gorgeous and provides the film's biggest shock as Rider Strong plays touchy feely with Jordan Ladd.
Rent, don't buy, unless you really want the love theme!

Summary: Pancakes!
Review: So last night I watched Cabin Fever, and I think my life is the smaller for it. The movie is a pretty lame paean to the horror genre, with nods to such films as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Evil Dead, Cujo, The Stand, and plenty more. All the clichés are present, with sex equalling gory death, teens making foolish decisions, and rednecks going on rampages.

The movie supposed to be a dark comedy, but I didn't find it to be terribly funny. There were a couple of parts that did get me, though. The kid that plays Dennis, the boy who bites, rocks out. In the DVD extras, he really shows his stuff when he does a highly energetic, head-banging, kung fu staff-handling routine. The DVD is worth watching for this scene alone.

Literally.

I wouldn't bother watching the movie itself--just the Dennis "pancakes" scene.

Summary: The "N" Word made it worst than tasteless
Review: I understand that all movies are allowed a minimum margin of ERROR, but Cabin Fever takes it to the Max. I read the reviews so I knew what I was getting myself into (a not so good flick); however, I wanted to enhance my understanding actual disorder of Cabin Fever (which means: Stress from confinement or isolation), from a cinema point of view. NOTE: The Shinning said it all! Most of all I wanted to understand why there were sooooo many Good & Bad reviews on this movie. The movie should have been titled "Virus in the Cabin" not "Cabin Fever"

I DIGRESS BUT HERE'S MY DISLIKING OF CABIN FEVER.....

The script was very degrading (lyrical content: POOR). Even the worst of the worst movies have decent Scripting. It was a shame to see the hospitable store clerk render such a poor display of feminine southern mentality, on top of that, using the "N" Word, and then went a step further by choosing stand in actors that actually took the script to render the greeting that the store clerk gestured (just so they could say they were in a movie). That was more disgusting than the dog or the shaved legs.

The Director: Eli Roth was sitting there on the special features talking as if he made a work of art. Here's my message to Mr. Eli Roth and his fans:

I would say that your movie had potential, but it was potential less.

YOU HAVE LITTLE CLASS!!!!

Respectfully,

An aspiring film maker

Summary: Shave your legs, drink some poluted water and enjoy...
Review: 'Cabin Fever,' to me, was a really good film. Low budget, but very effective. The plot evolves around a group of five friends. They rent a cabin out in the sticks and soon after contract a flesh-eating virus. This film really sticks out -- gore-wise. The film shows the characters, after they get the virus, falling apart -- vomitting up blood, shaving skin off their legs and really bleeding from every orpheus. The film is really a cult-classic (or will be) due to the simple plot, tons of gore and characters you can relate to. Cabin Fever is just underappreciated, but that will change in the years to come (as will Rob Zombie's "House of 1000 Corpses".)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Made my skin crawl.
Review: If your looking for a bloody (and I do mean bloody) movie this is what you need to watch. A decent story line and something different other than your usual hackem up movies. But, I couldn't understand how hard it is to get any help out there. And I would had killed that stupid dog a long time ago. I've seen alot of twisted movies but it had been along time since a scene like that sent cold shivers down my back. One word "Shower" and you'll know what I am talking about. This is a must see.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good time
Review: Cabin Fever is not a ground breaking horror film nor will it be considered a classic, but the film offers some gory and funny moments.
The movie is about 5 rather unlikable college students on break, who rent a cabin in the woods, and contract a flesh eating disease.
The first one to get the disease is the nice girl, who the teens exile to a shed outside the cabin. This doesnt seem to help as one by one they all start showing symptoms of the disease. The kids desperatly try to leave and get help, but something always seems to go wrong. There is a great scene where one of the girls tries to shave her legs, and starts to shave away layers of her skin as well.
The policeman that tries to help them is only interested in finding a good party. He turns out to be the best character in the film.
The movie does offer some uneven moments and even a bizzare one where a mentally handicapped kid(wearing a bad wig) attacks one of the teens using some kung foo moves.
The ending can be either taken as clever and funny, or a little bit of a let down.
I actually thought it was funny, and got the message the film really wasn't trying to take itself too seriously.
Enjoy
