This movie was just way too sick to get four stars. Flesh eating bacteria eat away at the heroes in a cabin. Eew!

MCT:July 28, 2008this idea of a fresh eating virus was fantastic and the paranoia the disease causes and the gore was very well done. yay eli roth

Old school influenced horror by Eli Roth with a bit of an original antagonist.A group of 5 mostly annoying teenagers are staying in a cabin in the woods for a week away but when they come across a seemingly virus infected man who later ends up dead in the reservoir, things take a gruesome turn. This is quite original in that the killer is the virus,or germ/bacteria and this makes for some very gory effects but this film seems to lose the main point of the plot at times and is also about 15-20 mins to long.Overall,a not bad,if not great,gory horror film.

MCT:July 28, 2008This really wasn't my sort of horror movie. It was difficult to understand, and i'm still not clear where the disease even came from. All of the main characters die, and the ending is poor. The special effects were good, and the gore looked real, but apart from that - i really didn't like this.

This had a funny sense of humour, but it wasn't really scary. It seems awkward to expect more after people start to bleed and die. There is really nothing scary about it, Must have seen too many zombie-flicks

MCT:July 26, 2008Cabin Fever is one of those great gut wrenching gore fest movies that takes no prisoners. Managing to shove every aspect of horror into an hour and thirty minutes. Making it a true horror classic. Cabin Fever manages to mix all the great horror ingredients together without going overboard and making a believable story, with gore by the tons, tension, sex, and did I mention gore I would say Cabin Fever is a must get and trust me you will be getting your moneys worth.

I never sussed whether this was a horror or a comedy. I think a woman having her face chewed off is a little over the top but in all it's a great film.

I can't say this is particularly a good film, but some of the aspects of this movie are so goofball and out of left field, I can't help but have a bit of a grudging respect for it all the same.

Avoid like the plague ho ho ho. Best thing I can say is that I almost turned it off but didn't. However, afterwards I wished I had.

Although with convinving gruesome things on their bodies, it lacks tense and real acting. With a bunch of nobodies, it's kind of hard to believe their desperation of not surviving the disease obtained from the water. The characters are typical ones for a teen 'horror' with a couple who are sex-aholics and another couple who are timid about their love and are exact opposites to their friend couple, and a random loner who drinks beer and makes jokes, and who has no girlfriend, seemingly gets attacked first as if they wanted to get rid of the character ASAP.
But with the gruesome happenings and eery scenery, it's safe to say that this 'horror' will only scare those who are easily scared, or just those who want to take the mickey out of a film one night, if they're bored. -

The ending was so funny. They shot him so many times!!! Perfect Horror film. I saw it twice now. This is still one of the best horror movies ever. The lemonade stand was just perfect. The lady shaving over the disease wounds on her legs was horrible. It looked so painful.

Five friends isolated in a cabin contract a deadly flesh-eating virus and are forced to fight the disease--or fight off their closest friends.

I haven't watched this in a couple years but it still holds up as a pretty solid movie despite the ending seeming very rushed to finish everything up. It's funny. It's gross. The score is great. What more can you really ask for? The nugget?

MCT:May 12, 2008`Necrotisis Fascitis` é uma doença que mata todos os anos cerca de 1500 pessoas nos EUA. O `flesh eating virus` como é conhecido, instala-se no corpo e liberta toxinas que podem matar em poucas horas. A realidade assustadora q.b. foi a base de inspiração para uma história que Eli Roth (porque será que o segundo nome do realizador vem tanto a calhar?) escreveu em 1995 e que depois adaptou ao cinema conjuntamente com Randy Pearlstein (`Léon`, `The mirror has two faces`).
`Cabin Fever` foi um projecto que foi levado a cabo a custo com um parco orçamento (1.5 milhões de dólares) e que depois no Festival de Toronto em 2002 foi alvo de uma guerra de ofertas das principais distribuidoras. A Lyon?s Gate decidiu investir e comprou o filme por uma soma avultada. Em 2003 tornou-se o filme mais rentável da companhia e objecto de culto de muitos realizadores entre estes Quentin Tarantino e Peter Jackson que chegou a sugerir algumas taglines para o filme.
A obra segue de perto a história de cinco adolescentes que decidem passar umas férias numa cabana nas montanhas e que são `perseguidos` por um virús mortal, altamente contagioso, que mata em poucos dias, fazendo as suas vítimas esvaírem-se em sangue.
A ideia de criar um filme de terror em torno de um virús é boa e quase inédita se ignorarmos o muito interessante `28 Days Later` do britânico Danny Boyle e `Outbreak` de Wolgang Peterson. Mas ainda assim, a abordagem é aqui diferente porque a doença assume contornos maléficos, é o vilão da história e tem uma fonte desconhecida. De uma ideia original parte-se para uma história simples concretizada em ambiente de tensão crescente entre os jovens até chegarmos ao pânico total onde a luta pela sobrevivência é o ponto de ordem.
A tentativa de fazer reviver algum do terror dos anos 70 e 80 (que pontuava em `horror tales` junto ás fogueiras dos acampamentos), a virulência, a putrefacção ligada a um terror carnal (tão presentes na cena do porco, do veado, ou do cão) e algumas personagens secundárias são o melhor do filme. Destaque para o jovem xerife que só quer `curtir` e o velhote da loja da terra que tem enfrascado mijo de raposa e uma espingarda para os `pretos`.
Depois é o velho desfilar de lugares comuns no género do terror: falsos sustos, o uso, até à exaustão, da montagem para produzir cortes narrativos `originais` e como forma de assentar a estranheza diante do olhar do espectador, os adolescentes prontos para os gritinhos da praxe, o jovem que só faz asneiras, o casal de namorados que não vê mais nada à frente... e por aí fora.
Resta a consolação de ser uma obra com claras influências de outros estandartes do género do terror como a `Evil Dead trilogy` (a cabana, a imortal cabana) , ou quando em duas cenas especificamente deixa à solta a cruel estranheza de `Dannie Darko`. Nota-se a preocupação do realizador em alterar cenas de puro terror com algumas piadas. A maioria das vezes falha infelizmente.
A estreia na realização de Eli Roth, um dos `protegidos` de David Lynch é discreta, ficando abaixo das expectativas. Espera-se rapidamente uma obra com maior aprofundamento narrativo e apuro formal. -

a very weird horror movie couldnt tell what was coming up and ended in a very different way from what i was excpecting. The end had to be one of the weirdest/funniest endings I have ever seen.

MCT:April 14, 2008
Scares are virtually non-existent, every attempt to make an homage to another horror film has nothing to do with the story, the political undertones fail to reach any incite, and what the hell was the point of that pancakes scene. This movie is so bad it would be insulting Ed Wood to compare this with his works.

Oh help us all. "Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever" is due for release in 2008 but with no Eli Roth. Instead director Ti West will take on the sequel.

What a terrible movie. Anyone actually though it was gory? Or scary? I just can't believe there's a sequel to this...

So boring. I watched in about 2004 and thought it was terrible. The plot is that a group of friends go up into a cadin in the woods. It turns out there isnt a killer in this movie but the water is contaminated! Its not worth seeing.
