Cabin Fever

The more I think about it, I really really really like this flick. I just can't remember the last time a horror movie actually captured my interest, aside from Bordello of Blood

Oh dear god, I forgot all about that! Dennis Miller, Corey Feldman, Erika Eleniak. ... How did that movie EVER get green-lighted? It was fun, I admit. I wish Dennis Miller had been even more over the top, since he was clearly starring in a movie that was destined to be a cult classic.

Oh and, of course, Chris Sarandon of the brilliant "Fright Night" Fame. ....

The smiling head was his brother.

I think what Banky said about the picture hopping through genres leaving you feeling a sense of filmic vertigo is spot on, but where he discredits it and considers it a con, I think that is where the strength to the film lies.

read the pros also

its funny, i went up to visit my sister at college and she told me she saw Cabin Fever and hated it.  She said it ws awful.  But for like the next two hours she kept thinking of things that grossed her out or made her laugh.  I mean she remembered characters names and everything.  "Squirells are gay"   "Faced"   "Party Man"---i mean she was qouting left and right.  This movies seems to leave general audiences like "What the fuck was that" yet it has a certain residence in thier mind so i guess its doing something right.

Finally got to see this today and i have to say i liked it. Good characters, though the odd man out guy sorta annoyed me after a bit, but once he was running from the hillbillies then he became more interesting. Best part was the whole slaughter at the cabin towards the end, really made you on your seat wondering what was gonna happen next. About the whole box thing, i dont think fat guy would be trying to open the box if hero character guy was coming after him had it contained the "cure" but why he was in fact trying to open it is beyond me, must have panicked and forgot what he was doing, but oh well he got screwed. The final line from the old store worker guy was pretty funny, but the whole sing-a-long was kinda pointless. I also totally missed out on Roth's cameo, i though i remembered reading he was the guy with the dog, but as i was reading the posts on here i dont recall seeing the skater guy, can anyone point out where in the film that was. All in all it was worth it and i look forward to seeing what Roth does next in his long line of projects.

I would just like to say this movie was kickass.  I went to see it Thursday night (as Isabelle was bearing down on my area) and was completely satisfied with it.  Not only was it a return to the fun, cringe-inducing gross-out horror films that I thought would never be made again, it was unpredictable (as other posts astutely pointed out.) Thank God for this Eli fella!  I laughed, I cringed, and I cried (my God were those two chicks gorgeous!)
Cabin Fever: 4 stars!!!!!!!

Also, does anyone know the film's budget?

I heard that P.Jackson was going on about how brilliant cabin fever was, and that it was the best horror movie ever. Hmm...
Now, I do like Bad Taste, and it is one of my fave 'bad' films, but I would never have called it a horror. I don't see how a 'bad' film can be the beste horror ever, better than The Shinning?
