Cabin Fever
Posted by: | CommentsStar Rating: 5
Description:
Five college friends (Rider Strong, Jordan Ladd, Joey Kern, Cerina Vincent, and James DeBello) head off to the woods for a weekend of drinking, partying and fooling around. But as they sit at their campfire the first night, a blood-soaked hermit approaches them. He appears to have been infected with a flesh-eating bacterial virus, and as the hapless kids start to catch the bug, paranoia and hostility run rampant. Combine that with a bad-tempered dog and a party-loving police deputy (Giuseppe Andrews, giving a particularly funny performance), leads everyone into confusion and bloody chaos.
Rated R, 1 hr. 32 min., 2003
Our Opinion:
This is destine to be a cult classic by Eli Roth (Hostel). This is a fun movie to watch and the actors really got into their characters. You can sense the enthusiasm which really propelled this nothing low-budget flick to much higher quality piece of art. I hope to see more like this from Eli. This another one that you will dust off from time to time to show friends.

Our Opinion:
Wildly fantastic! The characters had a lot of depth. The idea for the story was very cool. Great special effects. I won’t give away too much but this one gets very surreal on the second half.

Our Opinion
Not Bad for low budget. Interesting twists at the end. Everything shot at one location, the supermarket. The dialog seemed rehearsed from a script that needed to be smoothed out. Characters were not believable.
