Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

VenturousArtist Cabin Fever is a bloated corpse filled with various ideas and mistakes.The premise simply follows a group of college students partaking a vacation within the woodlands to unknowingly have contact with a biological virus. They're far from proper medical attention, or any safety in this regard, but this gives them and the film enough time to risk being greater. Unfortunately, the film doesn't properly risk enough when it constantly relies on weird humor, disjointed pacing, and middling storytelling with a severe identity crisis. Throughout the film's time introducing characters, and other strange subplots, audiences learn how limited they are by either not appearing enough, being disposable and tedious, or serving nothing special. However, aside its flaws, it's fairly tolerable when it finally descends into madness and less characters survive the premise's gruesome focus. It's not just an original idea ahead of its time, created at the wrong time, but one of its own kind that unfortunately couldn't become better if a reenactment followed its similar middling direction.It's a nasty virus film that's not very infectious as an actual viral infection.

Ilikehorrormovies I already know the sequel will suck and the remake is god awful but this film is good. I like this film and I do see problems in the film. I'm not saying the film is the best but it's really bloody for fans that like horror movie that's bloody. Now Bert in this movie is the rebel (he's better than the other Bert in the remake). This film is good not great or perfect.Score: 7.5/10

mistoppi I rented this movie today mostly because I loved Hostel movies directed and written by Eli Roth. I thought it would be interesting to see his earlier stuff. But funnily enough the most interesting thing about the whole thing is that it's listed as both "comedy" and "horror". Watching the film I had no idea it was supposed to be a comedy as well. Sure, it's slightly absurd, but not so much I'd see right away that it's comedy. There are jokes there, of course, but there are in several horror films, and they aren't automatically comedies. Well, you can always learn more about movies...The music in this film is completely unnerving. The soundtrack of this film is magnificent, and a good score always gives a horror film something extra. There are genres where it doesn't matter so much, but in horror it's surprisingly important. It keeps you on your toes. And even the lack of soundtrack is extremely effective in horror movies. But in Cabin Fever there is a soundtrack, and it works.The thing about Cabin Fever is that there's no serial killer hunting the young characters. The "bad guy" of the film is a disease. And what's the thing about that? You can't outsmart it. But still, the characters are idiots. That is of course a typical trope in horror, but sometimes someone does something so obvious you want to punch them. Someone is infected and you decide go touch them? Yeah that's definitely a great idea!Cabin Fever is thrilling, yet there's something about it that makes it slightly annoying. I enjoyed watching it this first time, when I have no clue what's going to happen, but I doubt I'm going to see it again.

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.
