![]() ![]() #Cabin fever 2002 movieThis movie had potential to be more than the final product but I respect what Roth has done and considering it was his first movie it is remarkably good and for that I give it: For me, the running time was really short and there were not enough scares throughout. ![]() The reason I don't give this a really high score is because the pacing seemed jumbled to me. There is plenty of gore and plenty of scenes to make you squirm in disgust. The locals aren't so realistic and seem to be their for comic relief and body count (which isn't a bad thing). We do all that they do (well, not so much drugs.) and to me that makes them more realistic. Most of them swear, drink, have wild sex and smoke drugs and because of this may seem annoying and clichéd, on the contrary, Roth has captured the attitude of what teenagers were (and still are) like. The five teens are a mixed bunch (the dumb guy, the horny couple and the innocent couple). Roth blends horror with a small amount of comedy which suits this type of movie. A horror movie about five teenagers going to holiday in a cabin in the woods after college where the nearest town is filled with hicks and everything is slowly getting infected by an unknown virus which starts to turn everyone against each other. To sum up this movie: take a bit of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a bit of The Evil Dead, a couple of elements from The Thing and Last House on the Left and you have Cabin Fever. I, however, found this to be a rather enjoyable little film that just falls short of being great. Reviewed by LoneWolfAndCub 8 / 10 An unfairly criticised debut it really is not that badĮli Roth's debut, Cabin Fever, seems to be hated by the majority on IMDb and many other critics. When Karen drinks tap water and gets the disease, the group begins their journey to hell. The whole group, except Karen, makes a pact to drink only beer the rest of the week without knowing where the dead body is. When they arrive, a man contaminated with a weird disease asks them for help, but they panic and burn the man, who falls into the water reservoir and dies. Jordan and Cerina prove to very intelligent.Ī great track if you're a fan of either actress.College friends Paul, Karen, Bert, Marcy and Jeff rent an isolated cabin in the woods to spend a week together. Not much screaming like most Actress commentaries. It's more like an interview than a commentary. Jordan tells a story of how she got angry at James DeBello in one scene. Cerina also talks about how over protective she is of her little brother who has a cameo in the movie. Cerina tells the story of how she first met Eli's parents whilst she was naked in the bath. Jordan tells a story of how she took her top off in an interview with Eli. They explain how they got the roles and what their opinions on this movie are. Plenty of flirting and banter throughout. When it's time for Cerina's comments, we hear them in sing song "Hi Cerina, Hi Eli". Jordan and Cerina are recorded separately.

It's a shame he didn't put that on the DVD. He mentions that at film school, he made a film called "Restaurant Dogs" which involve Ronald McDonald and the Hamburgular killing each other. He talks about his influences, mostly Evil Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He starts off by saying that he went to see horror movies as a kid and he would vomit every time he saw one. He said you don't have to listen to all of them if you don't want to. ![]() Because everyone has a story to tell and to put all the info in one commentary wouldn't fit. He answers why this DVD has 5 commentaries and why would you watch all of them. Eli, if you didn't want that, why did you do the commentaries with them? Eli says at the start that this is HIS commentaries and no actors or producers can interrupt him. Eli is like Quentin Tarantino, he can take for hours about film. ![]()
