  This has got to be one of the worst movies of all time.
  
  If I could rate this no stars I would.
  
  No plot.
  No suspense.
  No originality.
  
  Just no...

  FAIRLY EFFECTIVE HORROR OUTING! LOTS OF BLOOD AND A FEW LAUGHS!
  
  I saw this film a few years ago and wanted to see it again after watching Roth's later works in the Hostel films. 'Cabin Fever' isn't original, but is effective for the most part. There is a feeling of helplessness mixed with the typically annoying characters here and there. This one is full of blood and some good laughs, even though I would have liked it to have a more serious ending. It's certainly not the worst horror film I've ever seen and should be on any horror fans list for at least a look.
  
  The cast is decent with a little nudity and lots of blood for good measure. 'Cabin Fever' won't win an award for originality, but it does get some points for being a well made little horror film!

  Eli Roth's Cabin Fever is almost as good as Hostel!
  
  Having been a huge fan of Eli Roth's Hostel for several years, I decided to check out his other movie, Cabin Fever, and I was not disappointed. Cabin Fever is almost as good as Hostel and is definitely better than Hostel Part II. Cabin Fever focuses on a group of 5 young college students who go to a remote cabin deep in the wilderness for a week of partying and relaxation. Soon, however, their vacation becomes a nightmare. First a man arrives at the cabin, covered in bloody burns, desperately seeking help. Then, fearing that his disease is contagious, they chase him away. But the damage has already been done. One of them has been infected and the others realize that any one of them could be next. Meanwhile, the locals in the nearby town set out to kill these 'outsiders', blaming them for spreading the disease. Cabin Fever is a very bloody horror movie that is not for the faint of heart, but it also has a dark sense of humor and actually delivers a few good laughs. Peter Jackson, director of King Kong and the Lord of the Rings trilogy proclaimed it as "an unrelenting, gruesomely funny blood bath", and Rolling Stone called it "a blast of good gory fun that just won't quit!". It has even been said that "Cabin Fever may do for cabin rentals what Jaws did for beach parties". I can assure you, though, that Cabin Fever is much more of a horror movie than Jaws was. If you've seen Eli Roth's work with Quentin Tarantino on the Hostel movies, you'll know what to expect - bloody violence and gore with more intelligence than your average fright flick. I highly recommend this movie to fans of Eli Roth or of today's high horror movie standards. Cabin Fever is intense, bloody, darkly humorous, and overall entertaining.

  "Cabin Fever Equals Great Fun"
  
  Put a bunch of sexually charged teenagers together for a weekend getaway in a remote cabin, have them possess the morals of alley cats, and make sure they drink and do drugs, and I can guarantee this has the makings of a horror movie. "Cabin Fever" is a great thriller. None of the performances will garner the actors Oscar nods, but the producers main goal was to scare and shock the audience out of their seats; they succeeded in full force. The plot centers on a group of friends embarking on a weekend getaway into the woods where they stay at a cabin. Suddenly, they start to break out in rashes with their skin bubbling and burning. The question is how is all this happening? The special effects are intelligent, but be forewarned: if you have a weakness for blood and gore this movie is not for you. "Cabin Fever" is a bit more explicit than most horror films of the 2000's, but it is fast-paced, well-plotted, and freightening. The DVD contains 5 audio commentaries, along with the trailer, and a documentary on the making of the film. Even the conservative New York Times says,"(the movie is) a potent blend of dread, gore, gallows humor".
