Summary: Absolutely fantastic
Review: I'm very surprised at all the negative reviews of this DVD, I can't imagine anyone watching or purchasing this movie without knowing exactly what to expect. It is a great, hilarious, truly scary good time. Honestly, of all the movies I saw in theatres in 2003, this was the only one that I can say I had a great time watching. The acting and casting are perfect, you've got the standard cast of stupid, horny teenagers and creepy rednecks. The music and setting give this movie a unique feel that is missing in many horror flicks. If you've ever been alone in the Appalachian mountains, you might know what I'm talking about.In short, this isn't Freddy vs. Jason, and this isn't The Ring; it's an entirely diferent animal. It's scary because it could happen, and it allows your mind to create most of the fear. If you enjoy movies that scare with style, where you know the only possible ending is doom, and at the same time know what to laugh at, this will be right up your alley. It won't keep you awake at night, but you will have fun.

Summary: BEWARE!!!!
Review: if i save one person from purchasing this turd,i will have done my part.this is a horrible excuse for a film.nothing wrong with wearing ones' influences on their sleeve,but some originality would be nice.i kept waiting for things to start picking up,and that never happened.really lame excuses for humor didn't help matters either.
please,put your hard-earned money on a proven classic(such as evil dead,texas chainsaw...etc)or take a chance on some eurotrash if ya need something new(jess franco,rollin,fulci,etc..)

Summary: Good scary fun
Review: I'm surprised to see so many reviews that hated this movie considering the fact that over here in the UK, Cabin Fever was pretty well received. Okay, so the story's an old staple - a group of kids rent out a cabin in the woods only to find a zombie-like infection as scary as the locals is waiting to ensnare them. Director Eli Roth clearly knows his horror movies, because this movie plunders a lot of them. The only real problem is that he doesn't really know what direction he wants to take with it - campy fun, retro Evil Dead pastiche or straight horror. There are elements of all three, used to varying degrees of success. I was recommended the movie by quite a few Evil Dead enthusiasts, so it would appear to work on that level. As straight horror there are some genuinely horrible moments, notably a character shaving her legs in the bath deserves to be an instant gore classic. However, a lot of this seems to be undermined by the black humour of it all, mingling to produce a film nearly as nasty as reality-TV horror My Little Eye, though not as good and certainly not as consistent. For instance, characters such as the stoner at the beginning disappear early on and a walk-on from a hilarious cop on a push bike who like to 'party' is cheapened by a second appearance. Saying that, some of the gags definitely work, especially the anti-racist joke at the end, which had me in stitches. Yet before you've even finished laughing there's a shot of a dead body, making you feel more than a little uncomfortable. Whilst it could be argued that the mixing of modes is daring and interesting (and this IS better than Wrong Turn, which played it entirely straight), it comes across as uncertainty on the part of a director who didn't know what they wanted. Still, that doesn't mean it doesn't have its moments. It does. The unknown cast are all great value for money, though you suspect that we'll probably never see them again. In particular, the guy at first coded as the jock turning into a fey scaredy-cat is great stuff. There are also enough good moments to suggest that Roth could make a much more consistently good movie in future. Saying that, as zombie movies go, Night Of The Living Dead, Evil Dead and even the recent 28 Days Later, still reign supreme.

Summary: STUPID TEENS DIE DUE TO STUPIDITY
Review: Yes, it's true, a bunch or collegy types get together and thank goodness they are dead by the end of the flick cuz they are wretchedly annoying. Their stupidity knows no bounds everything they say should be captured in a vacuum and ejected in outer space to torment the aliens.
The gore is good but the movie is torture...absolute torture.
Please...lord please can't they make a horror film where at least one character has a personality?

Summary: Horrible
Review: I wish theere was a zero rating, because that's the true rating this film deserves!!!! I really disliked this movie. The expectation was a "horror" flick. The horror I got was sitting through this mess of a movie. By the end of the movie I wasted time I won't ever get back!!!!! Don't waste your time!!!

Summary: Special Feature Documentary Just As Bad As Film
Review: I was very amused to see that the documentary about the making of Cabin Fever followed the exact same pattern as the film! The first 3/4 of the feature takes itself overwhelmingly seriously. Then, in the last quarter, Mr. Roth and Friends insist that it was supposed to be funny and campy. Like the film, the last portion of the documentary is the most enjoyable, as it actually does seem to represent all that they claim this film is supposed to be. That's not enough. If the first portion of the film would have followed the 'homage' pattern as closely and lovingly as the second portion, I would have absolutely loved it! As it stands, both film and documentary fail to succeed.

Summary: Cabin Fever
Review: I had mixed feelings about this movie, but I found that I had more positive feelings and felt it was an eerie, funny little film. It displays a familiar little story about a group of friends who embark on a vacation to a cabin (sound familiar yet?). But then, director Eli Roth who also writes, comes up with a freakishly original idea of making the teens not be killed by a masked monster or eaten by a family of cannibals... No, Roth instead scripts the teens to be infected by a vicious skin infection which eats away until it's nothing but blood and guts. One by one, they try to avoid catching the disease. It's a highly original plot with a sort-of familiar setting, and it shows that Eli Roth has talent. The music is absolutely scary, with some offbeat scoring that has great effect on the film. The acting is fair, often sappy, but usually pretty good and Bert is one great character. Some of the shots are truly unique and give a great atmosphere to the movie. This movie however, didn't have much in the way of an explanation of what the disease was, where it came from and what was wrong with the biting kid? The ending was funny, but it was a horror movie, not a comedy. CABIN FEVER was a cool little film and wasn't a waste of time, yet I think Eli Roth may have had tee many martoonis while making this (if you catch my drift).
