![]() ![]() Cabin Fever leaves the door wide open and doesn't resolve much. There's no guarantee there will be a sequel! Wrap up the story, but you can leave a slightly open ending for a potential sequel. I hate when the first movie in a potential horror series does such blatant sequel-baiting. It's extremely unsatisfying and total sequel-bait. I have no idea why that was in the film and it shouldn't have been.įinally, the ending just sucks. Also, the weird sequence where a kid randomly does kung-fu and bites Burt is utterly bizarre. I don't know what Roth was going for here, but it did not work. His first scene is just so weird and off-putting I thought it might be a dream sequence. Another major problem is the entire character of Deputy Winston (Giuseppe Andrews). It's simply bizarre and has no business being the film. It's a really offensive and off-color joke involving the n-word, but it's not even a funny joke. The biggest offender is the extremely long "joke" involving the convenience store owner. There is a lot of humor in this movie that is just weird and doesn't work. Sure, that's how people talked then, but it makes it even harder to like these characters now. The kids are constantly calling each other "gay" and "retarded". The dialogue in this film has not aged well at all. The character motivations and decisions simply don't make sense and I spent most of the move trying to figure out why things were happening. Honestly, they could have started walking and they would have gotten help faster. The group also spends a few days working on fixing their truck so they can go get help. Sure, he was a jerk, but he was also right. They get mad at Jeff (Joey Kern) for ditching them and refusing to help, but honestly, he was the smartest one of the group. There is an infectious disease spreading around, yet Paul and Marcy (Cerina Vincent) insist on touching everything and everyone trying to help. The characters also make some terrible and stupid decisions. Paul was totally fine up to this point and even after that scene, the movie makes it seem like we're still supposed to like him. She's sleeping and he starts messing around with her, but the way the scene is filmed makes it seems like this is supposed to be cute or something. Even our protagonist, Paul, molests the girl he has a crush on. They are a bunch of jerks and all around terrible people. The biggest problem that Cabin Fever has is the characters. It's especially fun to see Rider Strong (from Boy Meets World) brutally murdering people. The tension is excellent and we get a few really great and baddass kills. The sequence where Paul and Burt (James DeBello) take on a group of rednecks is also pretty awesome. Watching the hermit vomit blood everywhere added a lot to the sequence. The fight between the teens and the hermit is really well done and very excited. ![]() While the execution isn't great, I enjoy the premise for this film and there are parts that work.įinally, there are a few fun sequences. ![]() The teenagers don't have to fight off some monster, instead they have to avoid getting infected and try to get help. This is his first film and he doesn't hold back. Director Eli Roth is known for his over-the-top gore. There are some really brutal and nasty scenes with some great kills. Paul and the others have to avoid being infected and find a way to get some help or else they will succumb to Cabin Fever.Įasily the best part of Cabin Fever is the gore. Unfortunately, the hermit dies in the area's water supply causing the disease to spread. He attacks the kids until Paul (Rider Strong) lights the man on fire and he runs off. A hermit shows up at the cabin one night, infected with a terrible disease. A group of kids go stay at a cabin in the woods, but this time it isn't a serial killer or a monster the teens have to look out for. | Rules & Info | Review Database | Series Reviews & Collections | ![]() This will help others know what types of movies you like when they are reading your reviews!
