    Eli Roth's directorial debut!

    One of THE best horror films of all time! "Cabin Fever" is scary, gruesome, and (at times) funny! The acting is so-so, but the plot and gore effects do more than make up for it. In addition, the soundtrack is also nicely done in a creepy (yet satisfying) way! Many do not know this, but the movie is based off a rare, real life bacterial eating disease. This is what makes it so terrifying! Don't expect an award winner though. There is plenty of premarital sex and camp to go around, but this hardly distracts from the movie. Horror fans and gore hounds will love it! Absolutely NOT intended for the faint of heart!

  • So-so

    Sick, kinda fun, over the topish, dumb chacthers.

    First of all, the Chacthers in this movie AREN'T Geniric like some say, but with that said, they are REALLY Dumb, live and let die, jeez, when one has the sickness, they should all go, leave Rider there with her, lock him in and go. I dis-like the "Drunk-party-cop" cause he dosent add a comic relief, he just annoys me to no end and cuts off the pace. The music sucks to, and the Movie tends to drag a bit at the end. Tho its bad, its underrated, cause it is fun, but for me, "fun" dosent cut it for me.

  • Oh No!

    This movie was stupid

    I understand that it's kind of meant to be a spoof, but I felt it was all over the place. It had a couple of funny moments, but overall I found it very disappointing.
