I honestly wish it could have been better, but redemptively, it was an honourable failure. A forest-dwelling hermit named Henry discovers his dog has died from a mysterious illness and is sprayed by its infected blood. To me, it just felt to me like a bunch of stuff i'd seen from some of the classic horror movies mashed in with one interesting premise.

I think its designed brilliantly and has an environmental message, and I admire Roth's aspirations to not skimp on gore or sex, but it was unnecessary to the plot. But in the end it's interesting twist to the typical cabin in the woods story doesn't fully make it work. There was also very few shocks, and once I adjusted to the carnage, consequently, it wasn't that scary. However he shows almost no creativity in Cabin Fever and for me he never demonstrated the extent of his talent. All this adds up to the construction of a cheesy 80's horror movie, which was exactly what Roth was trying to mimic. Especially considering the tiny budget it was made on. Firstly, the acting is much better than I expected it would be, and the gore is disgusting and boasts some pretty impressive bloody corpse special effects. But that's just damning it with very faint praise. Rating: R (Language|Brief Drug Use|Sexuality|Strong Violence and Gore)ĭefinitely Eli Roth's most inspired, and most substantial film. The friends struggle to stop the contagious, flesh-eating disease while on the run from a group of ornery backwoods locals out for revenge. When the man stumbles into a reservoir, he infects the water supply, and soon one of Bert's friends becomes infected. Panicking, he abandons the scene and leaves the man for dead.
