Summary: Don't look to deep into the movie
Review: Folks, plain and simple; this is a cheesy throwback style horror flick. And it is a very effective one. I have read to many negative reviews on this movie and I disagree. A horror movie is supposed to have people making stupid decisions and then die. And this one has plenty of that with some great gore. So if you are looking for some plot driven psychological masterpiece, then this is not for you. But, if you are looking for a story with a little plot, hot bodies, drugs, blood, and running around woods then this is it. Don't try to look deep into the movie, just enjoy it for what it is and nothing more. THIS IS A HORROR MOVIE DONE THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE!!!!

Summary: Toss-up
Review: I honestly couldn't decide if I really liked this movie, and how much I liked it. It was good and funny, but I must admit it was a letdown. I expected more-the movie had better potential than what it actually was on film. Some aspects of the film were just too weird, too disturbing, and too stupid even for ME. At the same time, it was a great movie that I actually enjoyed. But just as I'd be at the height of my enjoyment, some other odd thing would arise in the movie that just didn't work right for me. I must admit, the acting wasn't as bad as you might think, either, considering it was only supposed to be a "cheesy horror movie." Rider Strong was especially good, proving he can stretch his talents. It was interesting to see him in such a different role from his former "Boy Meets World" character, and it was also good to see him in another project, considering he hasn't done much lately. I must admit, I was "in love" with him at age 11 when BMW first came on, so I might be biased about his acting skills in this movie. LOL.
And for you horror fans out there, according to a recent interview with Rider Strong, Cabin Fever 2 is now filming.

Summary: On my top ten of favorite horror films now
Review: I love this movie. Its on my top 10 horror films off all time and I've been watching horror films since I first saw Dementia 13 at the tender age of 7. I place this movie up there amongst such greats as: The Evil Dead series, The Exorcist, Dagon, Jeepers Creepers 1, Texas Chainsaw Masacre (the original) and Night of the Living Dead series, its that good. What makes it that much scarier is that its something that could actually happen. If you like shock horror movies that will make you jump and disturb you to the fullest extent watch this movie, all others should watch something tamer such as 29 Days which to me was a real let down.

Summary: A DECENT HORROR MOVIE
Review: Cabin fever is an homage to horror movies of the 1980's like Motel Hell, Evil Dead, and countless others. Five young people are head to a cabin in the middle of nowhere, in an area populated by hillbillies right out of central casting. Each of the five plays out the standard role you've seen in every horror movie of this type: the horny couple (Cerina Vincent and Joey Kern); the sweet guy with a crush on the sweet girl (Rider Strong and Jordan Ladd); and the goofy, lunkheaded, heavy drinker (James DeBello). But the director Eli Roth doesn't just toss them into a shower stall and wait for them to get bludgeoned -- he delivers a dying man with a ferocious, flesh-eating disease. Before you know it, the icky, scabby, bloody malady has invaded the gang, turning friends into enemies and sending nearly everyone into survival mode. Although the group is stranded, Roth is smart enough to devise viable reasons to have them split up, venture out beyond the campsite, and find even more trouble. That skillful move broadens the film, making the terror more than just some e. coli gone nuts. Let's throw in some angry rednecks! How about a rabid dog?! As the hurdles build - oh, don't forget the decaying friend in the shed - the film reaches greater heights of fun and suspense. But there's also some laughs in here too. Genre fans will recognize design touches that pay homage to the past and prove that Roth knows his stuff. A girl in a canoe. Freakish backwoods locals. A survivor reveling in his/her success. Even the film stock has a dull, cheap, woodsy look that we've seen before. Yes, you've seen a lot of elements like this before, but Roth does a better than average job of putting a twist on this classic plot.

Summary: Misunderstood Movie... Awesome DVD
Review: One little known fact about Cabin Fever is that it was shot on a budget of 1.5 million... making it one of the more professional looking independent movies ever made. Is this movie genre defining ala other independents such as: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Halloween? Nope... Is it a fun horror flick... YES. Despite being hampered with a low-budget, Roth manages to produce a slick, nicely shot movie, with some awesome gore. Roth is first and foremost a horror fan, thus all the tributes he pays to other horror flicks throughout (I'll leave you to spot them, but be on the lookout there are alot of them). With that, I don't understand the complaints made about this movie at all... They did the exact opposite of what they should have done!
-Duh, it is a horror movie! It wasn't scary!
-Very few movies really are, I hate shock-horror.. ya know the type of movie that goes by the formula, "Let's have something pop out on screen to spook the audience!" That isn't scary and Cabin Fever doesn't subscribe to that formula. What is scary if you ask me is a flesh eating virus.... An idea which actually came from a real-life run-in Roth had with a nasty flesh eating bug while in Iceland (Something you find out during the DVD's AWESOME extras). It's unoriginal!
-Easily the dumbest of the complaints. I can't remember many horror movies being about a flesh-eating virus, I'm sure something has been done along those lines before, but obviously wasn't good enough for a pretty big horror fan like myself to recognize. That is the basic plot in Cabin Fever... a Flesh Eating Virus. Throughout the movie you are treated to Eli Roth "Tipping his Hat" to his fellow Horror-Countrymen. Whether it be a kill scene from Dawn of the Dead, or a camera-shot from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Roth does it in many ways... something not new to the genre at all. Nobody seemed to complain when Sam Raimi tipped his hat to Wes Craven by putting a torn Hills Have Eyes poster in Evil Dead (Seriously, why would there be a Hills have Eyes Poster in the basement of a cabin out in the middle of nowhere?)... Nobody seemed to complain when Scream and Halloween: H20 both had their characters "Drive down to the McKenzies for help" ala the original Halloween. People within the horror genre "Tip their hat" so-to-speak to eachother ALL the time, Roth just does it more than others.... the fact still remains, the basic plot is original, Roth just pays tribute to those that came before him throughout it in little ways. It's unfair Roth/Cabin Fever get slammed for being unoriginal and Wrong Turn didn't nearly take this much heat, despite being a complete knock off of The Hills have Eyes. The humor in the movie is great, but different. It is just a matter of taste, I found it hilarious, my friend did not... to each his own. It is pretty dark and plays up on stereotypes. One thing that has to be said about the movie is the amount of Gross-Out Scenes... from the Dog Splitting open, to the under the covers bed action, all the way to the shaving scene... there are a lot of moments that will make you cringe. Overall I loved the movie... but I'm a pretty big horror fan. A big fan of the genre? If yes, this DVD is a must. If you're not I would suggest renting or borrowing it first... then make up your own mind.

Summary: One of the funniest movies of the past twenty years.
Review: I am a fan of bad horror. In high school, we made a weekly trip to raid our local video store's "Bad Bad Bad Movies" section. Some of my fondest memories came from staying up all night and watching such classics as "Nail Gun Massacre." I rarely laugh out loud while watching movies, but this one had me rolling in the aisles. Is it a good movie? Nope. Scary? Not by a long shot. Fun? Oh yeah, especially when watching it with a group of like-minded people. Is it as fun as Evil Dead 2? No, but it's definitely up there.

Summary: Horrid doesn't begin to describe it...
Review: alright, I don't mind cliches in horror movies....if you wanna throw a lame pot smoking sex crazed teen into the mix...fine...if you wanna throw a few in...fine...but do it creatively. If you are a director and want to make a cameo...ok fine....but do it creatively so it fits perfectly withint the story. If you want to make a horror movie, and youve got the first two covered, make sure your actors at least have a decent script to work with. They fail on all fronts here. The movie had many loose ends that were never even attempted to be tied up. There was a foul mouth fat dude that would have made andrew dice clay blush. There was a little mulleted kid who had a thing for pancakes...yeah, I dont know either. Eli Roth...you really screwed this up buddy. You had some creative photography and a knack for good camera angles. My suggestion, become director of photography or something and leave the direction, acting, and writing to people that don't suck

Summary: All Hype and Little bite
Review: Cabin Fever is what you would expect out of a low budget film. Loads of Gore, pointless sex and rednecks. The idea is that a group of friends go out and rent a Cabin in the Woods (wonder where they got that idea). While there a hermit catches some Flesh eating virus and in turn passes it off to the kids. As they start to rott the local hicks get word and go after them. In the end it turns into a violent bloodbath with a vengeful twist in the end. Overall this is a renter. It was hyped by critics loving it and a lot of good word. But overall this is all talk and little bite.
