JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

tylerdrums-62784 If you dub yourself a "horror fan" then you have to see this one.Granted the Director's Cut makes things run smoother than the Theatrical Cut, the film is still solid. From the characters to the plot, everything works. Joey Kern as Jeff kills it. Giuseppe Andrews as Deputy Winston? Kills it. James DeBello as Burt is great as well, acting in a similar way to his role in "Detroit Rock City". Rider Strong as Paul is probably the weakest out of the actors for me but I can still get behind his performance. Cerina Vincent as Marcy is great and sexy. Jordan Ladd as Karen is the only other weak point I can see. Even the rednecks from the store work.Everything is how it should be and it's hard for me to try and see anything wrong with it. I just wish it were longer.The score is amazing and I'm not sure if anyone else noticed where some of them originated from. "Last House on the Left", anyone? Yes, some of the scores are from that 1972 film directed by Wes Craven. Those particular scores are by David A. Hess who stars in "Last House on the Left". It fits perfectly and just adds to the greatness and eeriness of this film. The other sounds and scores throughout the film are great, creepy and just make the movie flow so well.The vibe, the shots and the scenery in this film are excellent. Cabin Fever is certainly better than a lot of the people on here have made it out to be. Eli Roth definitely knew what he was doing when he set out to make this film and it was effectively shown. Do yourself a favor and watch it and appreciate it for what it is.

clauzy82 OK I really wanted to enjoy this film, anybody a fan of Evil Dead is OK in my book but its nowhere near as good as its hype. I first watched it not long after it came out and I was disappointed, recently I watched it twice again to see firstly did I judge it too harshly as you generally over judge hyped up films and secondly to see if it's one of those films that grow on you, sadly it's neither. Don't get me wrong it's not a bad film but a decent one. The start is pretty good and the end is also quite good, it just doesn't flow well and losses you halfway through with filler scene's and characters you just don't give a s**t about, the actors are pretty good, they just aren't likable characters, I get that's the point but you need a balance even in a cheese filled horror otherwise you may as well be watching The young and the Restless. For the Cheese fans it has its moments but seems to be trying too hard, without spoiling there is one scene involving a gun and a shovel I'll let your imagination work on that one. Give this one a watch but if your expecting a great gore horror or cheesy horror or comedy horror you will be disappointed set the bar low and you might enjoy this one more.Rating: 5.5/10Cheeseometer: 11/50

Michael_Elliott Cabin Fever (2002) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Five friends head out to a cabin in the woods for a week of fun but before long one of them are being eaten alive by a virus, which soon starts to effect the others.Eli Roth's CABIN FEVER is a fairly good movie for the most part but I think it tries to do a bit too much and in the end it remains entertaining but I think had it been more focused then it could have been better. I say this because the film wants to gross you out, make you laugh, tries to be scary and it also tries to wink at itself while also being serious. The film simply goes off into too many directions for it to be a complete success.I say this because the film is certainly never scary because of the wink nature of how everything is handled. With that said, the comedy really doesn't work as well as I'm sure everyone hoped and especially with some of the characters actions. The film and especially the director knows a great deal about the genre so we get little nods to other movies and this here is fun.The performances for the most part are quite good but there's no question that what sets the film apart is its rather gory and extremely goo-filled violence. There are some great effects on display here and I especially loved the scenes where the skin is basically just falling off the bone and this is best seen when one of the characters scratches his hands against a tree. If you're a fan of gore then you'll certainly be happy with the high volume on display here.

juneebuggy I liked this, granted it had its moments of weirdness. A real mix of horror, comedy and gross-out gore but it worked for me. Its a bit of a throwback film to the chillers of the 1970's, cliché in its initial set up following a group of college friends who embark on a last hurrah after college vacation deep into the mountains to spend a week at a remote cabin.They meet several strange/bizarre townsfolk along the way and then on their first night encounter a man who is "sick" his flesh literally melting off his face as he vomits blood all over their vehicle. In trying to get rid of the man they accidentally set him on fire and he runs off into the bushes. Before long our group starts to show signs of a horrible flesh eating disease, with the fear of contagion driving them to turn on each other.This didn't receive great reviews but I had helluva fun watching it. It was disgusting, disturbing, funny, full of WTF moments, bizarre characters and left me afraid to drink the water as well as seriously wondering about the motivation of (the director) and Kung-Fu kid yelling 'PANCAKE". 11/1/15
