filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

lorcan-61881 Cabin fever tells the story of a group of friends who have just finished college and decide to stay at a cabin for a week or something. When one of the friends stupidly decide to go hunting with a gun for squirrels,he shoots a man who looks sick and infected. Then the friends tell story's around a camp fire when they meet a man who has a dog and is very violent threw out the film. Then this infected man knocks on there door and remember the man that shot him,he tells them not to let him in as the man try's to open there trucks door,the friends run out with weapons and the truck sets in fire and so does the man. The next day,everyone is scared by it and one of the friends who has a crush on a girl gets into bed with her when he finds out she has the infection. The friends put her in the shed as she just wants to go home. The next day,the friends go looking around for help when a weird sheriff who loves partying tells them everything is going to be OK. Soon,everyone starts getting the virus and spoiler everyone dies in the end. I loved this film so much,so original and cool. I saw all the sequel which were all crap. I mean the prom come on,I also saw the remake and to be quite honest it was the exact same as the original but very very gory but it was OK. Cabin fever is a class teen horror film for horror fans.

mistoppi I rented this movie today mostly because I loved Hostel movies directed and written by Eli Roth. I thought it would be interesting to see his earlier stuff. But funnily enough the most interesting thing about the whole thing is that it's listed as both "comedy" and "horror". Watching the film I had no idea it was supposed to be a comedy as well. Sure, it's slightly absurd, but not so much I'd see right away that it's comedy. There are jokes there, of course, but there are in several horror films, and they aren't automatically comedies. Well, you can always learn more about movies...The music in this film is completely unnerving. The soundtrack of this film is magnificent, and a good score always gives a horror film something extra. There are genres where it doesn't matter so much, but in horror it's surprisingly important. It keeps you on your toes. And even the lack of soundtrack is extremely effective in horror movies. But in Cabin Fever there is a soundtrack, and it works.The thing about Cabin Fever is that there's no serial killer hunting the young characters. The "bad guy" of the film is a disease. And what's the thing about that? You can't outsmart it. But still, the characters are idiots. That is of course a typical trope in horror, but sometimes someone does something so obvious you want to punch them. Someone is infected and you decide go touch them? Yeah that's definitely a great idea!Cabin Fever is thrilling, yet there's something about it that makes it slightly annoying. I enjoyed watching it this first time, when I have no clue what's going to happen, but I doubt I'm going to see it again.

Aki Rantakolmonen Yep. I "accidentally" found this movie after couple weeks since I watched the "Cabin In The Woods" -movie. This just sounded so similar that I decided to watch it, although I didn't "enjoyed" Cabin In The Woods movie that much.Well, this certainly is better. Not much, but slightly. I think this respect more the original horror genre. This is pure.What I don't like is that there is too much "peekaboo" scenes. Really, it's just annoying. There's no need for them. Especially when you are not in the mood of being scared. I mean I really like the horrifying feeling and atmosphere that film creates, but scaring is really not necessary in this case.Well. It still was a good original horror movie, with twist of some kind of scifi-virus. Very interesting. I think I'm watching the second movie also. it's called "Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever".

maxastree During the additional features option on the DVD of Cabin Fever, Eli Roth's (rich) Dad explains that Eli was "destined to make horror movies" because as a child he vomited during the gross-out scene in Ridley Scotts movie "Alien". Play that backwards, symbolically, and you get the impetus for every reason Eli Roth shouldn't make movies.This film is, really, bargain basement trash - almost like a 1987 straight-to-video slasher in so many ways; the young adults look like extras, or amateurs, complete with bland TV-hairstyling (in the remote wilderness, for some reason?), and the foul mouthed and generally unlikeable young adults get in trouble when a hideous disease, sort of a scabby, zombified necrotising fasciitis breaks out and starts turning the characters into gore covered corpses. The solution? There isn't one - the movie has a premise and no plot development whatsoever.Worse still, the film has a "comic relief" character thats supposedly a sleazy, sexist policeman, who IS weird, but ISN'T funny. Numerous scenes are dedicated to the pretty young female cast members appearing semi-naked or having chaste porn sex on screen, usually to be revealed later to be covered in massive, pus filled sores, their skin literally peeling off from a devastating virus.The worst, and I mean, easily the worst thing about this film is its use of "uneasy racial humour"; a local redneck in Cabin Fever refers to some black kids as "niggers", which the city folk take as shockingly intolerable, but later on, its all, like "hey, my niggaz, wassup??" as if, supposedly, the redneck kook that fixes rifles at a small rural community store is so in with local black community that he affectionately calls them "niggers". In all honesty, a lot of viewers won't get to the end of the movie, so they won't see this quick turn around into a type of black comedy that betrays Eli Roth's inept sense of humour and poor taste as a filmmaker.Lastly, there is a bizarre, slow motion kung-fu segment featuring a disturbed hillbilly kid that feels, perhaps unintentionally, like a homage to Claudio Fragasso's Troll 2.Cabin Fever is utter crap, as I stated above, but ultimately, its very cheap filmmaking, meaning that its nominal profit margin will allow for sequels, same as the garbage 80s slasher movies that Eli Roth is "paying tribute" to. Essentially, this is a cheap 80s-style slasher without an actual bad guy in sight.
