"Cabin Fever" harkens back to the days of the mid 80's, when second rate, no talent directors were pumping out storyless, half-baked attempts at horror films, loading up on the gore quotient but boring their audiences so badly, the genre died a slow painful death till it was revived. "Cabin Fever" is SO bad it's almost unexplainable.
Plotline is a group of obnoxious college kids go off into the woods to relax in a cabin, and thanks to a bizarre turn of events end up infected with a flesh eating virus.
All these characters are so crudely written, irritatingly acted and just plain stupid you're praying everyone catches it sooner and ends this 92 minute waste of time. Other than Jordan Ladd's Karen, I sat there wishing they'd just hurry up and die so I could do something more constructive...like clipping my toenails for example.
Does Eli Roth really believe that packing a film with cute pop culture references ("Last House on the Left"'s theme song???),loading it with wacky back woods weirdos, and pouring on buckets of blood makes for a good movie? Eli, I hear McDonald's is hiring, might want to check it out.
"Cabin Fever" is not just bad, its horrendous. Viruses can make for an enormously interesting film ("28 Days Later" anyone?) but this amateurish student film shows how you need not only a good script and talented cast, but a qualified and talented director to pull it off.
