I resisted seeing Cabin Fever (2002) initially as their seemed to be quite a lot of puffed up publicity around it (both Quentin Tarantino and Peter Jackson gave enthusiastic endorsements), but had I known Cerina Vincent (Maya, the Yellow Power Ranger) appeared sans her top...oh mama...in the movie I probably wouldn't have waited some four odd years to watch it...I make no excuses for my fondness of looking at hot women nekkid other than the fact that I'm a dude and this is a trait ingrained in all dudes unless the dude is into other dudes, which is fine by me as it means all the more ladies for yours truly, but I digress...co-written, produced, and directed by Eli Roth (Hostel, Hostel: Part II, Cell), the film features Rider Strong (My Giant, "Boy Meets World"), Jordan Ladd (Club Dread, Madhouse), James DeBello (Detroit Rock City, Swimfan), Cerina Vincent ("Power Rangers Lost Galaxy", Devil on the Mountain), and Joey Kern (Lovewrecked). Also appearing is Arie Verveen (Sin City) and Giuseppe Andrews (Independence Day, American History X, Detroit Rock City). As the film begins we see some serious misfortune befall an idiot backwoods trapper/hermit (stupid is as stupid...well, you know)...anyway, following this we meet five college students embarking on a fantastic vacation getaway after the completion of their finals...there's Jeff (Kern), the blonde guy with the seriously receding hairline, his passionate (i.e. wet-n-wild) and curvaceous girlfriend Marcy (Vincent), Burt (DeBello), the loud-mouthed idiot of the group, and Paul (Strong), the uptight dude who's got a thing for Karen (Ladd), the skinny blonde (seems the pair have been friends since childhood, but Paul secretly wants show her the sausage). After stopping for supplies, allowing us to experience the true hillbilly nature of the locals, the quartet head off into the deep woods, eventually locating a rather rustic cabin. As Jeff and Marcy proceed to get it on (apparently Marcy can't go too long without a bit of the salami slam), Paul and Karen head to the lake for a swim, and Burt goes off to hunt varmints, eventually running into the trapper/hermit we saw in the beginning, who's not looking all that great (talk about being down with the sickness). Anyway, a bunch of stuff happens and soon enough the trapper/hermit finds his way to the cabin, but given his condition our campers aren't inclined to provide hands on assistance (the guy is covered with open sores and spewing up blood...what the hell did he get into?). After the group's ride gets trashed (the trapper/hermit tried to steal it), they chase him off good, but soon discover he may have left something behind in the form of a nasty, highly communicable virus/bacterium with a predilection for the flesh (eating it, that is)... Overall I did enjoy this film as it seemed to be made by someone who has a great appreciation for the genre, so much so he borrowed from a number of different sources when making his feature, the most obvious to me being George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968), specifically a scene near the end which I won't detail, but if you've seen George's film along with this one, you'll know what I'm taking about...Cabin Fever may have lacked in a number of areas (cohesive script, likable characters, an even, forward flow of the plot), but the effort was there, along with a whole lot of blood. This is a case where the truly stupid was mixed in with the entertaining, the result being sort of a half-baked project that will either come off really well or extremely poorly dependant on the viewer's expectations. If you're looking for exceptional scripting, memorable performances (actually, Giuseppe Andrews as the cop who loved to party was pretty memorable), non-confusing or unexplained plot points, and a solid storyline then you probably need to go watch something else, but if your interested in visceral thrills, pull up a chair, cause Roth lays it on thick. I learned a whole bunch of things while watching this film, including the following... 1. Never, ever sit next to Dennis (seriously, if the kid ever did to me what he did to Paul or Burt, I'd crush his skull, despite his knowing karate). 2. Burt, along with being a petty thief and a pyromaniac, can't shoot for spit and likes to get his dog involved while he's pulling his taffy. 3. Jordan Ladd (Cheryl Ladd's daughter) looks awesoma in her bikini underwear. 4. Deputy Winston (Andrews) knows where all the best parties are... 5. Marcy knows some interesting bedroom techniques. 6. That guy Grim has about the biggest bag of weed I've ever seen. 7. Never drink anything from lemonade stands run by kids. 8. Best not to shave your legs if you're infected with a flesh eating bacterium. 9. It's all right to engage in the horizontal bedroom boogie despite the fact a highly communicable disease is floating around as long as you douse your privates with Listerine mouthwash afterwards (that burning sensation means it's working). 10. Marcy's got to have it. 11. Joey Kern and Rider Strong should be extremely thankful for their roles in this film as both got to hang with a topless Power Ranger with an amazing rack. 12. Hillbillies don't take kindly to having diseased strangers running about (picture the mob scene in Frankenstein, only less sophisticated). 13. Best to leave the dead where they lie (or float), and not poke at them with sticks. The most unsettling part in the movie for me involved Rider Strong's character (can you possible have a more porno sounding name?) spooning up with Karen, who was quite the tease by the way...anyway, she's feeling under the weather and allows him to get into bed with her (no hanky panky mind you), and then once she's asleep he begins to fondle her up good...I've done a lot of things in my life, but I've never groped someone in their sleep like some kind of skeevy perv...in another scene we see Strong's character trying to get help from the neighbors only to get caught peeping into a bedroom window at a woman laying nekkid on a bed. I can't fault him too much he as I might have done the same if it wasn't for the fact that some of my friends were dying horribly and in need medical assistance as soon as possible. As far as the performances here, there seemed to be two modes throughout, normal and spaz (spaz mode, along with the histrionics, included the extensive use of profanity...I heard the word f**k so many times it's lost all meaning for me). Two aspect of the movie annoyed me, the first being the music. Some of it worked, but a lot of it didn't...Roth might have eclectic tastes in music, but perhaps showing it off here wasn't the best idea...the second aspect was the needless filler sequences...off the top of my head there's a bowling alley/serial killer bit and another with the director himself making an appearance in a completely pointless role who's seemingly only intent was to put himself into his own movie. Ah well, since this is Roth's first film, I cut him some slack, but I am interested in seeing his follow up called Hostel as I think he's got a lot of potential as long as he doesn't get his full on ego on after some early success. The picture, presented in anamorphic widescreen (2.35:1), looks very clean and the audio, available in both Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and Surround 2.0 comes across very well. There's a healthy inclusion of extra features including five, count `em five full length commentary tracks, a featurette titled Beneath the Skin: The Making of Cabin Fever, a family version and a Chick-Vision of the film, three episodes from Roth's The Rotten Fruit animated show, a karate demonstration bit titled `Pancakes!', English and Spanish subtitles, an original theatrical trailer for the film, along with previews for The Job (2003) and Serial Killing 101 (2004). Also thrown in are a few Easter Eggs (hidden features), one of them found by going to the chapter selection screen, highlighting the 19-21 chapters, and waiting a few minutes...all in all I've give the film three stars, plus one extra for the entertaining DVD features.

The first time i saw this i was not impressed but it grew on me and now i love it,it is the best in the teilogy for sure. Story is there is some unknown pollutant in the water that eats away at the body and causes you to spit up blood and rot feom the inside out. A few college kids are on vacation and they are looking to cut loose and have a weekend party but things go wrong when an unknown bum finds his dog dead from this plague virus,then the kids come across the bum who is now infected and they shoot at him with a .22 and he wanders off. They call the cops who turn out to be a joke,just a random clown who tries to get his kicks out of being "the cool easygoing cop" but these kids have a problem when they shoot the guy after he spits blood all over the car. The 2 guys make a bet that they will only drink beer but the 1 kid drinks water that has the contagion in it. The guy they set on fire who's infected fell into the water reservoir and they soon find that the townspeoples pigs and cattle are infected. So these hitsquad type cops come in and slaughter the remainder of the living infected and they burn the bodies & keep it all quiet. In summary there is alot of gore cuz of the flesh eating bacteria that is unknown,some really graphic scenes of skin melting right off as a girl shaves her legs. A guy gets a harmonica down his throat,the cop is a clown,the guys who run the corner market are just wierd & the kid who always yells pancakes i just cannot explain. But this movie is really unique in the sense that you never know how it started til' part 3 which fell short compared to the unique and eerie story here,mixed with gore galore for fans. Part 2 has lots more gore but it is not as in depth as this one. I suggest you get it because Eli Roth does not disappoint. Read more

I liked Cabin fever the movie from start to finish. The movie is somewhat scary, hilarious and very entertaining. I recommend it to all my friends 🙂 Read more

Amazing quality! Read more

Most of the dialogue is so stupid and outright crazy that it is hilarious. The flesh eating infection is one of the most horrifying fictional diseases in cinema hands down. I'm guessing for some reason when it infects animals it makes them hyper aggressive (Aka Dr. Mambo). A lot of the quotes from the main characters will definitely be seen as homophobic, racist and sexist by today's standards and ridiculous political climate (Particularly by Bart😆). Overall it is a perfect weekend watch with your girlfriend or buddies. Read more
