Too many fans seem to be blown away
... View MoreInstead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View More.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
... View MoreOne of the worst I've seen. The car looks like a murder scene, the cop is clearly a nymphomaniac lesbian more interested in the blonde staying at the cabin. Then proceeds to blame the person who spilt 3 gallons of blood ok the car for making a mess of it. Just God awful, with annoying characters, and terrible wiring.
... View MoreI 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
... View MoreI saw the whole movie, and it just shown how nothing happened. Kid bit a man, but that lead nowhere. Girl got her face eaten, but that lead nowhere. Guy who didn't get infected gets shot. Infected guy infects water. Guy who dropped N-bomb is friends with random black people. The black people, by the way, are pretty much just giant stereotypes. Don't worry, they only appear for five seconds just for a joke. In short, people get flesh eating virus, they die. End of story. Everybody go home.
... View MoreI 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.
