panzernoobxa-33613 If I had to choose a Top 10 of worst movies I've ever seen, Eli Roth's Cabin Fever would be a very close tie with the first three Faces Of Death movies as the #1 worst movie I've ever seen. I couldn't stand sitting through this piece of trash for more than 5 minutes without hating every single last character in this film. It starts off with a bunch of unlikable morons in a pointless setup to a very unfunny race joke that doesn't get resolved until the very end, said joke involved a redneck store owner implying that a rifle is meant for "n!ggers", when really the punch line is that this redneck is trying to speak jive without knowing how to phrase such language and the gun belongs to the African American customers and he meant to say "N!gga". That's the caliber of humor in this pile of garbage and it get worse and worse as the minutes go by, and the thing is the concept could have made for a decent horror film but ends up screwing itself over so much that you want to take an angle grinder to your temple to get out of it.

Leofwine_draca Eli Roth's debut film as director shares some of the queasiness and disturbing atmosphere of his later HOSTEL horrors, albeit on a lower budget and with less intensity. Saying that, it's a darn sight better than HOSTEL PART II and even if it does share inevitable comparisons with the likes of THE EVIL DEAD and other set-in-the-woods shockers, that's not necessarily a negative. In fact I found CABIN FEVER to be a well-made film, focusing a little more on character than you'd expect from a teen movie and offering plenty of scares and tension during the running time. Okay, things fall apart twenty minutes before the end, and the film finishes on a silly joke rather than on anything more substantial, but nevertheless this is a thoroughly effective effort which definitely isn't for the faint-hearted! Essentially the old teenagers-in-peril plot is utilised once more yet despite this, there aren't many clichés to be seen. Instead the film has an ambiance of '70s grindhouse flicks or genuinely frightening early '80s terror tales. The acting from the various cast members is decent throughout and one of the main reasons to keep watching, and the camera-work is great, with some really inventive moments. Being an Eli Roth film, there are the inevitable gore effects, all of which are sickeningly convincing. Roth goes for the gross-out on occasion, offering a cringeworthy and infamous leg-shaving scene and a woman's face missing, and eventually body parts are strewn around the landscape in full-blown gore movie mode. Yet the idea of having a flesh-eating virus as the villain is a pleasingly fresh one, and it makes for many paranoid moments as the characters (and viewers) attempt to figure out who's infected and who's clean. If the cheap, anything-goes climax had been more inspiring, this would have been a top-notch genre offering; as it is, it's a worthwhile and decent effort.

GL84 Heading to a cabin in the woods, a group of friends enjoying a weekend getaway finds a drifter has contaminated them with a flesh-eating virus and must find a way of dealing with their own afflictions when they contract it as well.On the whole this one wasn't all that impressive and had some problems with it. One of the biggest issues with this one is the fact that the story here is so off-kilter that it really makes no sense at all. The fact that the group doesn't consider the true ramifications of their actions and what's happening here which causes them to stay at the cabin in danger to themselves and others is simply hard to believe as there's no reason why they spend as much time in the second half arguing about their course of actions which tends to run into the same thing over and over. There's no real scares here dealing with the after-effects of the virus, and most of the film here leads into another huge problem in feeling borrowed from the horror giants of the past for so much of what happens unnecessarily that it can't get out of its own way. The central premise of five teenagers at the cabin-in-the-woods, the background characters, the final fate of the group at the end and the random selection of insert shots are among the other instances where the film's influences are put out there, which are the same old scenes anyway. It's getting quite tiresome to keep on making films that homage the same classic films that twenty others have done. There are other film films that have worthy features, yet to continually reference the same films like this one does grows tiresome after awhile. These here are what lower this one significantly while there's a few somewhat fun scenes here. The fact that the threat comes from a relatable and real source gives some punch to it and makes it a little more creepy with a realistic feeling getting caught in that situation. It's best scenes are where it utilizes and milks these factors, from the initial hermit attack on their cabin and the ensuring panic makes for quite a dark, thrilling scene, while the ending bloodbath out in the woods makes for a nicely effective series of action scenes with the townspeople out hunting them through the woods. That leads into the film's other great part as the blood and gore has a lot to like about as the wounds and scars are really life-like which is a nice feat and really has some freaky moments about it. The greatest is the shower sequence where one character shaves their lags and reveals bloody lesions and scars under each the shaving soap with each stroke which is a highly original moment. Otherwise, there's not a whole lot here worthwhile amidst the flaws.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Nudity and several sex scenes.
