![]() ![]() ![]() This movie had potential to be more than the final product but I respect what Roth has done and considering it was his first movie it is remarkably good and for that I give it: 8/10įive friends finish their exams at college and decide to relax by taking a break in the woods. For me, the running time was really short and there were not enough scares throughout. The reason I don't give this a really high score is because the pacing seemed jumbled to me. There is plenty of gore and plenty of scenes to make you squirm in disgust. The locals aren't so realistic and seem to be their for comic relief and body count (which isn't a bad thing). We do all that they do (well, not so much drugs.) and to me that makes them more realistic. Most of them swear, drink, have wild sex and smoke drugs and because of this may seem annoying and clichéd, on the contrary, Roth has captured the attitude of what teenagers were (and still are) like. The five teens are a mixed bunch (the dumb guy, the horny couple and the innocent couple). Roth blends horror with a small amount of comedy which suits this type of movie. A horror movie about five teenagers going to holiday in a cabin in the woods after college where the nearest town is filled with hicks and everything is slowly getting infected by an unknown virus which starts to turn everyone against each other. To sum up this movie: take a bit of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a bit of The Evil Dead, a couple of elements from The Thing and Last House on the Left and you have Cabin Fever. I, however, found this to be a rather enjoyable little film that just falls short of being great. Cabin Fever I believe is one of them.Įli Roth's debut, Cabin Fever, seems to be hated by the majority on IMDb and many other critics. There are tons of films that people hated when it first came out and then come to love it semi years later. The bloodiest? Hell no! So I'm finally enjoying the movie for what it's worth and it is and has a potential to end up being a horror movie classic. The scariest movie ever? Hell no! This movie is bloody. The funniest movie ever? Hell no! This movie is scary. Rider was surprisingly good in this movie and Paul is the character you root for the most to not get the disease. The main character Paul is played by Boy Meets World actor Rider Strong. ![]() Cabin Fever is about 5 college kids who had just finish test finals and are enjoying some relaxation and fun in a cabin in the woods but the fun is cut short when they learn a flesh eating bacteria disease is around. He's a guy that loves horror films and mentioned in several articles this movie pay homage to his favorites like Evil Dead. Cabin Fever is directed by up and comer Eli Roth. Every time it comes on I watch it and I begin to love this film a lot more. I really started enjoying Cabin Fever once it started playing on cable. Now if I did not go in with such huge expectations, I could had enjoyed it for what it was. I mean you had Peter Jackson the director of Lord of the Rings saying in the trailer this is one of best horror movie he's ever seen. Yes, I was kind of disappointed with Cabin Fever because it was hyped so much. ![]() So when it opened in theaters, everyone's expectation was sky high. the word in the horror world was that Cabin Fever is one of the most gruesome, bloodiest, scariest, funniest, craziest horror movie ever. ![]()
