Summary: Auntie Em! I'm Melting...I'm Melting...
Review: To start with, I don't know very many college students who would take off for break and head up to a desolate cabin far in the woods rather than Ft. Lauderdale for some more typical college fun. But let's thank them, for we know that a desolate cabin in the woods is an excellent backdrop for some bloody horrific action.A Zombie/Plague/Night of the Living Dead plot takes 5 college students out into the woods for a quiet break. Before heading up to the cabin, they make a last minute stop at a tiny local store, with a (literally) wild boy sitting out front, and a funny old man at the register with some shocking things to say. Pay attention here! As they settle into their cabin, Bert takes a walk off by himself with a rifle to shoot a squirrel or something, and winds out accidentally shooting a strange man. As the man picks himself up and pleads with Bert to help him, Bert can see that he is *very* sick, and warns the man away from him. Back at the cabin later, the sick man finds them, again begging for help, and spies Bert behind the others. "Hey, you *shot* me!" Bert warns his friends that the man is sick and they lock him outside, where he tries to steal their vehicle. A little mania follows, along with baseball bats and vomiting blood and setting strangers ablaze, and our movie takes off with its plot. With a vehicle too damaged to drive, the group decides that they need to find a mechanic and also a sheriff to report last night's incident to. With all but Marcy and Paul gone, the sheriff does show up, a ridiculous (on purpose) character on a pedal bike, who wants to talk about partying more than actually investigate a crime scene. He leaves with promises to send a tow truck, and the others return without any luck in finding a mechanic. Things go downhill from here when Marcy gets sick, with the same odd illness the stranger at the door had. She seems to be melting. And now the fun begins, as they realize they need to leave and the locals realize they need to be contained. This is an enjoyable suspense/horror movie because it strays from the slasher forum, but despite some mighty fine flesh rotting scenes, it lacked in the gore fest category. Don't miss Karen shaving her legs, or the vicious dog, and *definitely* don't miss the ending; an out of the blue surprise that left me laughing my tail off. Enjoy!

Summary: Another bad movie!
Review: I love horror movies but Cabin Fever was very disappointing. This movie is not scary and actually tends to be stupid. At least I can say the acting was acceptable compared to another movie I just watched, House of the Dead. I don't know what the problem is but there have been a lot of terrible/stupid horror movies out lately. Cabin Fever, House of the Dead, House of 1000 Corpses, 28 Days, Freddy vs. Jason, these have all been for the most part trash movies and extremely disappointing. It's 2004, it is time to make something original, with all the special effects and abilities nowadays somebody should be able to make a good scary horror movie. We'll see what happens with the second Resident Evil and the remake of Dawn of the Dead. If you love scary movies then watch Cabin Fever but don't expect much from it.

Summary: Worse Horror Movie in a Long Time
Review: I had pretty high expectations for Cabin Fever. I mean how could you go wrong with a flesh eating virus attacking a bunch of kids while they "vacation" in the woods. At the very least the gore factor should be quite high. Boy was I wrong. Cabin fever turned out to be a not only a huge disappointment, but easily one of the worse horror movie I've seen in a long time. I've mentioned before that I like a lot of horror movies that others do not, but this movie is painful to watch. The directors try to make it a dark comedy while paying homage to horror movies such as Evil Dead and Night of the Living Dead. In the end the story is incoherently pieced together with the main characters doing such unbelievably stupid things, it is just plain bad. As for gore, you would think there would at least be some pretty good scenes, but even that is a disappointment. The make up effects are passable, but nothing spectacular. The quality of the DVD is pretty good. Sound and picture are sharp. Extras include deleted scenes and five (yes five) commentary tracks. Honestly I could not bring myself to watch the movie again so did not listed to any of the commentaries. If you are looking for good modern horror, check out Wrong Turn, House of 1000 Corpses, or the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Even Freddy vs. Jason is a better choice. I can't even recommend this movie to the most hard core horror fan. Skip it.

Summary: Tripe
Review: Right then. This film has been getting quite a mixed reception from media and the general public so I thought I'd lose my Amazon review cherry by offering my opinions on this movie. Cabin Fever has been hailed by some as being the saviour of the low-budget horror genre, others though consider it to be the worst movie ever made. I unfortunatley fell heavily into the latter camp when I paid my hard earned cash to watch it. I really wanted to love this movie. It was the end of the summer and myself and a few mates decided at the last minute to pay a visit to the local cinema. One of the group had seen a trailer for Cabin Fever and thought it would be a good laugh. This friend is now in a shed in the middle of nowhere having his face chewed off by a rabid water vole. I was imaging the film to be one of three movie types a) A rehash of the Blair Witch b) Your usual teen slasher flick, nothing special but great popcorn fodder c) An Evil Dead style independent film that was fresh and full of individuality and charm. Cabin Fever was none of these things. From the very start I could tell this film was bad news. The group of actors cobbled together for this movie will hopefully never work in the mainstream again and I can only hope that Eli Roth is now safely locked away somewhere. I was neither grossed out nor scared by this film. The make-up effects were passable but nothing spectacular. I'll admit to laughing a couple of times during the movie. That whole thing with the Hanson kid and his pancakes was hilarious. But as soon as my initial roar of laughter calmed down I was impelled to question quite loudly "what the f*** was that all about?". Noone else in the cinema was sure either. I could really sense discomfort in the audience as noone was quite sure exactly what they were watching on the screen. This film left me puzzled for a long time after - my main confusion being why I had spent any money to watch this shoddy flick. There seemed to be no passion from the cast, there were also so many random moments in the film that I can only imagine the director believed would be witty, but that just came across as a desperate attempt to fill some time. That whole section where the group wandered off to try and find help - where the hell did that boat come from? There were two good points in the film - I'm not going to lower myself by telling you what they were (.)(.). Whoops. Ummm, I really can't be bothered to write anymore on the subject. Like the film, I think I'll just tail off and start loosing all structure and sense. Wibble. Yep. That outta do it. AVOID THIS FILM AT ALL COSTS.

Summary: Um....................
Review: I only watched about 45 minutes of this movie and I turned it off. I thought the characters were absolutely stupid and un-intelligent when the times to PANIC came...they had no clue what to do and had no common sense. The whole idea of a skin disease, to me, was a bad idea as well...they should've made it in the style of the Blair Witch Project. I read that the movie was about supernatural happenings out in the woods and that sounded intriguing to me...but no...completely different. I also find it funny that Peter Jackson saw the movie. In the theatrical trailer I saw of it on TV, the commentary guy said "It's one of the freshest new scary movies to come out" says Peter Jackson, the director of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy...yeah...WRONG! That's my ewview, thanks

Summary: If This Film Isn't For The Faint Of Heart...
Review: ...then count me in as feeble, because while watching it, I had multiple urges to vomit (but luckily, I didn't.) This film features some of the most blatantly and ridiculously excessive amounts of disgusting, disturbing and revolting images, though I suppose these aspects wouldn't serve the integrity of the "horror" genre, if the viewer didn't come away disturbed in one way or another. The story? A group of teens head up to a cabin, and one of the members encounter this scary, and seemingly disoriented guy who was carrying this mysterious "fever." Upon contacting him, this fever is transmitted to one person, and then, before you know it, almost every other member of the group has contracted this skin and flesh-eating virus. Like a few other reviewers noted, in some ways, this film was funny, and bordered on sheer silliness - especially with the sheer amount of profanity used by many of the members of the group, which almost gives the film something of a parodical element. I'm not sure I'd watch this film over and over again, unless I have much more of a masochistic streak than I otherwise would have thought - or, if I wish to invent a more natural way of expurgating the contents in my stomach. Watch at your own risk.

Summary: Cabin Fever DVD- 2003 dark comedy masterpiece
Review: Yes, Finally Cabin Fever on DVD! I really enjoyed this movie in the theater when I saw it, so I decided to buy it on DVD. When I saw this movie in the theater I liked it alot, but it wasn't what I expected to see. I thought it was going to be a serious slasher type horror flick, but it turned out to be what I thought was a cheesy horror flick that was so bad it was funny and fun to watch. I admit when I saw the movie a second time on DVD I liked it even more! Now I understand that this wasn't supposed to be a serious horror flick, but rather a dark morbid comedy in a horror movie setting. As others have mentioned, this movie is about a flesh eating virus. The cast plays a bunch of graduated college kids who take a vacation (somewhere in the south)in the cabin. Certain things happen that leave them stranded at the cabin, which is not good news since the virus is spreading. This is an adult movie. Lots of strong language, some nudity and lots of blood. Usually I find it hard to respect movies that have these adult themes, but it all makes Cabin Fever the great movie that it is. Rider Strong from boy meets world leads the cast with a excellent performance and the rest of the cast is great too! This DVD has some nice special features including The family friendly version and Chick Vision. All the special features clue you into the fact that Cabin Fever is not a horror movie, but a dark comedy horror film.. For example the chick vision feature throws some virtual hands over the movie screen to block out the scary parts. I had 2 dissapointments. One is that the DVD didn't have a alternate ending. The ending in the movie I like because I am such a fan, but many people will not like it! Last, I wish the director explained what the Bugs bunny doctor was doing in the hospital at the end of the film. acting=4.5 stars
ending=2.5 stars
Directing and Editing=4.5 stars
storyline=4.5 stars
replay value=4.5 stars
laughs=5 stars
Music=4 stars OVERALL= 4.21 stars This is a one of a kind movie, so I can't compare it to anything else. I can tell you that Im a fan of stuff like strangers with candy, kids in the hall and The new texas chainsaw massacre from 2003. If you like all that stuff, then give this movie a look..

Summary: Not the best..but not the worst by a long shot
Review: Before I watched cabin fever I knew that it wasn't going to be a great movie by any stretch of the imagination. So I really wasn't disappointed like a lot of the other people who wrote reviews. I personally loved the corny ending, and for me it redeemed itself immensely. I didn't really find any of the characters to be unique or memorably. Some of the scenes were just so stupid that they were funny. Like the little kid throwing some kung-fu kicks and yelling pancakes for no reason. I would not buy the movie or suggest anyone else doing the same but it's a good rent.
