Cabin Fever

Pros: It sets up to be a terrific horror film…
Cons: Sadly, it fails…

There are some horror films you recommend because of their sheer brilliance (admittedly these films are few and far between) and, I’m not going to lie to you, this is certainly not one of them. There are also horror films you recommend because they ...

Pros: Acting, Suspense, Humor
Cons: Doesn't Mix Well Together

Warning: Although this review only reveals minor plot points, it is impossible to review Cabin Fever without altering your perceptions and expectations. Since this could interfere with your viewing experience, reader discretion is advised. G ...

Pros: Humor (at times), Music (at times), Robert Harris' Rrole
Cons: Humor Doesn't Often Mix Well With The Overall Theme, Deer Scene Effects

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is easily one of my most favorite horror movies of all time. One thing it pulled off perfectly was a desolate and haunting atmosphere, with some pretty graphic imagery. And for those who are wondering, no I am not ...

Pros: see review
Cons: see review

I loved the TV show Boy Meets World, so I was excited when I heard that Rider Strong, who played Shawn on the show, would be starring in a new movie, Cabin Fever. I heard good things about the movie when it premiered in theaters, but I ...

Pros: Direction, interesting, gore, acting is alright
Cons: Script, advertising, DVD extras

Things are going well when a group of five college students book a trip to a deserted cabin in the middle of nowhere (hence the “deserted” title) for a weekend, but when a sick man arrives and interrupts their party, the matter gets worse. It turns ...

Pros: It's very gory, interesting concept, pretty decent acting, special effects, funny movie.
Cons: The sex scenes make it seem porno, the ending, a few bad scenes.

One of the simplistic and terrifying concepts around--you and a couple of your friends are taking a break from college and head into the woods for a "spring break" there. Soon, things start happening and something is growing and is highly contagious. ...

Pros: No. No. No.
Cons: 15 words aren't enough to summarise the cons.

I was getting a bit sick of reviewing things that I like, which in turn enabled me to gush manically about how wonderful something is, because it simply isn't fair to things I dislike. There are oodles of naff and just wrong things out there that ...

Pros: Taut, well-directed, believable and truly scary
Cons: A tad predictable with some lukewarm acting at spots

If there is one thing that "millenials" (the generation following Generation Y, of which I'm not-so-proudly a part) don't truly appreciate in cinema, it's. . . well, it's good cinema. But if there are two things that us damn kids just don't get, it ...

Pros: Perfect acting, great direction, ending.
Cons: Not as great as Identity.

I was interested in seeing Cabin Fever from when I first heard of it. At Sundance... or one of those film festivals that only rich people or kids with lots of about-to-be-defunct credit cards go to, the movie was widely approved of, for its "homage" to ol ...

Pros: directing, cinematography, makeup effects, score, end result
Cons: bad-taste humor, only mediocre acting, more dramatic than frightening

Eli Roth, the writer and director of "Cabin Fever" had a personal goal to fulfill; to create a fresh horror film that pays serious homage to the 1980s. What resulted was a stylish, claustrophobic thriller with an unusual blend of off-color humor. Unli ...

Pros: Deceiving trailers and Rider Strong's 5 o'clock shadow.
Cons: Like a plumber wanting to be an interior decorator.

If you were to hand a pre-teen a camcorder and tell him to make a movie, it would turn out something like "Cabin Fever." You don't even have to tell the teen to make a horror movie, because we all know that the odds are in our favor (or are they?) of tha ...

Pros: Some good makeup effects, funny ending
Cons: Some plot details were too predictable, relies on gore & sex to coast through film

Note: I did not see this movie in theatres. This is a review of the DVD. This is not a horror movie. I want to make that very clear right off. It's actually intended to be a dark comedy, but it ends up being more dark than comical. A good portion of ...

Pros: Gore, original, back to the woods horror film
Cons: Not scary...not funny....Bad story.

I went into Cabin Fever expecting nothing more than a bloody B-movie romp in the backwoods with some gore and teenage mayhem and murder. I enjoy watching those films and this one looked especially gritty. Eli Roth decided to put a movie together than ...

Pros: Director, Color, Gore, Horror, Bloodshed, Peeling Skin, Ladd, Strong
Cons: Editing, Dialogue, Odd Character, Stereotype

I saw many films from the Lions Gate films lately, "Cabin Fever" was the one of best I have seen. If you thought "Se7en" was scary, wait 'til you see this one. It was short and fast. It had fast changing scenes, it was whole bloodbath wash out all the ...

Pros: None used in the making of this film
Cons: The promotional materials

A Film Review by BlackEye This black comedy is a teen metaphor for the current White House administration. Very little intelligence, with a lot of macho posturing. Lot’s of blood and very little sex, although there is one scene when the per ...
