I'm sure im not alone when i say that this movie looked very cool to all of us horror fans. It seemed to be a movie made just for us, low budget, hot chicks, that guy from boy meets world, and other factors. Unfortunately, im having trouble deciding whether or not it delevered in all of its aspects. It was definately entertaining, but... it just seemed to deveate from its plot a bit too much.

The story is as follows, a group of teenagers rent out a cabin in the woods near a small country town. They encounter a man who is obviously very ill, they end up chasing him away in fear that they will catch whatever horrible disease he has. Of course, they do, and the rest of the movie displays their emotional and moral termoil after they are one by one infected.

This plot is fully realized about half way through, and what i mean by that is, you basically know for sure that tehy will all catch it eventually, its only a matter of time. So they have to keep you motovated to watch and enthrawl us with something... well...enter the cliche demoralized hicks who hear that the kids are sick, tehy go after them with the intent to kill...anyways... i wont say anymore, but the movie definately gets a bit wacky, and at times it is more funny then anything, which is too bad, because it has a very overwhelming atmosphere that was broken during these silly moments. but i do always like a movie that doesnt take itself seriously, so i cant hold it against this movie.

The characters are all basically cliche recycles of normal college reterick. a big tough guy (seemingly a jock with below average intelegence) a blonde hair blue eyed self infatuated pretty boy, a hot slutty chick, and a hot moral chick, and of course, the calm rational guy who everyone kinda picks on for not being as masquline as the others... in the first 2 minutes of the movie it is made very obvious who each character is.

The movie as a whole, is good, it has some very creepy gory neat scenes that will make you cringe, but it also has some scenes and ideas of an extremely ridiculous nature (the kids have a fully loaded rifle, but they have trouble killing a simple dog somehow). it also has some very deliberately funny scenes that will make you laugh your ass off. Basically, its a movie anyone will probably enjoy to an extent, if you can forgive certain inconsistancies and some ignorant choices. If you need more explanation, think of it as a combination of Deliverance, outbreak, and evil dead, with some scary movie type humor right out of the wayans bro's book. a good watch, but not quite what i was expecting.


7.5-10

BABOON
RIDER STRONG IS THE NEW BRUCE CAMPBELL!!!

SweetestSin0724
is that movie good? Cabin Fever? I want to see it, it looks really good, but my friends sister said it was really stupid? was it? what was wrong with it if it was stupid?

BABOON
depends on whether or not you like campy style gory horror movies. if not then you wont like it probably..well look at it this way..if you liked evil dead 2 you'll like this movie..theyre very similar in style...i dont compare it to the first evil dead as much because its far less serious than that one.

pablo007
Dude, no one can top Bruce Campbell OK ?

DeNiro
got to go check it out now

BABOON
lol...RIDER STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if i was a girl or a gay man..i would want to marry rider strong!

SweetestSin0724
Rider Strong looks good...i think im gonna go out one night and go see it..i think it sounds good....

I watched this movie yesterday and I was pleasantly suprised. It was a bit cheesy at moments, but you could tell they were trying really hard to make it like the old 70's horror flicks. Overall, I liked it. The idea of something like that happening freaks me out.

ElmStreetChick
"that guy from boy meets world." Holy shit! It's Shawn! I didn't even recognize him! He is so hot! BUT he is no Bruce Campbell. Got it? wink

I saw this movie opening night. I didn't understand half of the randomness such as PANCAKES and Rabit Man. But hey, it was fun.
The gore freaked me out. The shaving scene especially.
I really liked it. It was a great movie to go see with friends, and that is what I did.
It did remind me of 70s horror, and I liked it better then a lot of shit they put out today. Remember, this is just my opinion.
If there are extra features on the DVD perhaps I will buy it when it comes out.
Great review BackFire, that pretty much sums it all up! smile

DemonicGambit
I liked the movie, but I got one question...what was up with the deputy officer? How come he looked like oh I don't know, a 70s porn star?

BackFire349
cheezy comic relief.

Striel
Seems like there is usually a "bumbling police officer" in the older 70's or low budget horror movies... for some reason the deputy SORT OF reminded me of the guy in Motel Hell...

grymlock
70's porn star emmm now that's a new one... cheers mate!! beer

Striel
I was thinking of this movie earlier when I was in the shower shaving my legs. It gave me the creeps. lol

BABOON
same here...but then i realized that i shouldnt be shaving my legs anyways.. smokin'

Striel
LOL ^^^ I had to laugh at that.

grymlock
can you shave my leg for me striel?? yes ... emm no better not.. how about a drink... cheers mate!! beer

My only problem with the movie was that it seemed as if the director wasn't sure what kind of horror movie he was trying to make. They didn't blend the humor into the story. The first half was very serious and was doing good building the suspense. Then the second half just got very whacky. If he had blended the humor in throughout it would have made for a better flick.
