Summary: Cabin Fever almost made it
Review: What's wrong with Cabin Fever? The biting kid, for starters. No point to that. Aside from that, Cabin Fever had genuine scares and was quite fresh in its approach to the horror genre. It was let down further though by the appalling acting, and the fact that we could care less about any of the dumbwits who got the flesh eating virus. Why should we sympathize with them after the appalling way they treat the man who came knocking on their door?

Overall, Cabin Fever doesn't quite deliver.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Only for the "true" horror fans.
Review: I perfectly understand why so many people hate this movie. It's not for them. Regular movie goers will say this movie is full of cliche's. This movie IS ABOUT cliche's. It is totally tongue-in-cheek and meant to be seen by a group of friends (preferably a group of young men who have seen "Evil Dead 2" about 100 times each) and just laughed at. "Cabin Fever" definitley has it's scary moments, but the real meat waiting to be dug into is all of the classic horror cliche's waiting for you to point at them and laugh. But the catch is that the movie itself doesn't tell you that's what it's doing, so these things just fly right over your average viewer's head. Ever since "Scream" the horror audience has become bigger and dumber. They want every joke to be shoved in their face and rubbed in. What's next, a laugh track? Cabin fever is about jokes so subtle they aren't really jokes in the regular sense. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone who isn't a hardcore horror fan because they just wouldn't get it. If you didn't find the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" funny, you will hate this film. "Cabin Fever" isn't particularly scary, but it isn't presented as a traditional comedy either. It's just a fun, quirky, and independent horror film made to give pleasure to those who can truly appreciate a fun horror movie for what it is.

Summary: Not too great...
Review: Cabin Fever...it most definitely was NOT good...

The movie had no true plot I noticed. I understand that I am here to review Cabin Fever, but just to give you an example - a horror movie that had an awesome plot that I loved right away was "The Ring". So what if it had barely any blood and gore in it? They had a cool story that left you stuck to your seat. It seems that this movie just tried to focus on how disgusting they could get...The film literally did NOT have a story barely at ALL...so I got bored of it very quickly. All the actors did amazing jobs, I just couldn't find myself to enjoy it.

If you love movies with blood and gore in it - by all means - BUY THIS MOVIE. But if you would rather have a story with a plot and purpose, move as far away from this place and never come back!! =P

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Average Horror Flick
Review: I guess I could say this is a slightly above average Horror movie. I had very low expectations going into it, but one it was over, it wasn't as bad as I thought. If I were to give it a grade, it'd rank a "C," verging on a "C-".

The only familiar face was Rider Stong from TV's "Boy Meets World." All in all, the cast isn't too bad. You have your cliche moments (the car won't start, or [young people] having sex at the least desirable time), but there are parts of the movie the come off okay. I had heard that thie makers of the film wanted to pay homage to Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead," but the only thing I saw that resembled "Evil Dead" was that it was filmed in the woods.

There really isn't much of a Horror element in the film as there's is Suspense. The only monster or killer in this case is the unseen virus claiming its victims one by one. You do get some jolting moments (lip-less faces, festering sores), but that's it. I was waiting for something more to come along... but it never did. The kids just got picked off, one by one, until the very end.

It's not a movie I'd go out of my way to see, but in the event you'er at the video store and in the mood for a Horror flick, get this only if there's nothing else of interest.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Unremarkable
Review: It's only 2 or 3 days since I watched this movie and I am decidedly uncertain that I remember enough about it to write a review. But that very fact might tell you all you need to know. It's not positively terrible but, my word, it's unremarkable, forgettable stuff. Some kids go off into the woods and stay in a cabin, much as in a million other horror flicks. Not particularly likeable, they are very much into getting drunk, getting stoned and (apart from the partnerless fat one) shagging each others' brains out. There is however a mysterious disease, much as in a million horror flicks, that quickly sours their party. They try to get help but the trigger-happy redneck locals are even more of a problem than the virus. There is a certain amount of stuff that is very nasty but not much that is scary. Much of it is played for laughs but mostly it isn't particularly funny. Watch it only if you are easily frightened, easily amused and very easily pleased.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Just take two aspirin and call me in the morning.....
Review: This uneven homage to the "Evil Dead" & urban myths about flesh eating bugs scored a lot of positive reviews before being released down in Australia....however, I found "Cabin Fever" a rather tepid affair with very few shocks, and generally uninteresting and clunky characters.

The usual stereotyped group of over sexed ( Cerina Vincent seems to spend more time undressed than dressed ! ) & obnoxious teenagers head up into the hills for a holiday in a remote log cabin. But their late night, campfire sing-along is interrupted by a scruffy bum suffering the worst acne you have ever seen, and then he starts coughing and spraying congealed blood over everything, before being set on fire and stumbling off to die in the woods.

(...)

The remainder of the movie just has each of the characters slowly succumbing to this strange virus that rots the flesh, then they are set upon by irate rednecks with shotguns, a crazy dog that wants to eat them, a strange mute boy who likes to bite them, and finally police officers who just want to shoot them !

It's all a bit of a strange & bloody mess by the end of this movie, which rips off the final scenes of "Night of the Living Dead" at it's own conclusiuon. To sum it all up, "Cabin Fever" was nothing more than a minor cold.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fever blisters.
Review: I caught this one on a reluctant pay-per-view that paid off. Thinking it was a straight-up horror film I was in awe at how bad it was. About halfway through it hit me that this was a clever little spoof (albiet a subtle one), on woodsy horror flicks. In fact the more I think about it afterward the funnier it was. The use of cliche's are absolutely intentional, therefore making CABIN FEVER a twistedly creative(if not somewhat original) shocking comedy that isn't great, but good in it's own right. Think EVIL DEAD and DOG SOLDIERS with a flesh eating virus. Decently amusing B-movie entertainment.
