Cabin Fever
Terror... in the flesh.
OTHER
Reviewed by The Horrorist

A group of friends on a camping trip contract a voracious flesh-eating baceria and struggle not to be eaten alive.

Before I went to see this flick, someone told me it was no good, a flesh-eating virus movie wasn't horror, just gross. What he meant was "there was no slasher in this movie, I'm a simpleton and need simple horror." However, I'm not a simpleton and really enjoy something original. I also enjoy gore and nudity, which Cabin Fever delivered.

It really seemed like a big-budget foreign film, the premise wasn't a rip-off of anything, there was no formula. I honestly didn't know what was going to happen in the end, which is rare for a Hollywood horror flick. There were several little plot turns that I didn't expect, and the ending was exactly the way I'd have written it.

I wouldn't count it among my favorites, but I'll definitely add the DVD to my collection. Maybe after watching it a few hundred times I will.

Incidentally, aA member of the crew, John Neff, had the real flesh-eating-virus.

8/10

I went into my local videostore. I went and found Cabin Fever, because many of my friends said "Man, what a creepy flick". I then went home and watched it. The next day I took Cabin Fever back to my local videostore, the clerk being polite asked "Well what did you think?" I turned looked him square in the eye and replied "The next time I get the urge to pay $3.95 to watch a pile of shit, I think I'll just stay home and watch my dog do it for free."

This movie sucked more ass than all members of the Fab Five from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy on ectasy at a rave, sponsored by Doc Johnson Toys and K-Y Jelley, in San Fransico during the zenith of Gay Pride Week.

Now saying this there was truly one glorious highlight to this God awful movie. There is a little boy named Danny who seems to love to chaw on peoples hands. At one point and for what reason I have no idea he lunges from his seat into a Shao-Lin Monk series of Kung Fu moves screaming "PANCAKES!" I hit the damn floor and shit myself with laughter.

Never in all my years of movie watching have I ever seen such a frigging sight, I LOVED IT. This kid is going to be the next horror Icon. I want more, nay I need more. I want Freddy VS PANCAKE, Jason VS PANCAKE and to top it all off in the greatest tag team event of all time ASH AND PANCAKE VS THE EVIL DEAD ARMY OF DARKNESS!

Bring it on.

Movie -1 Thats right negative.
Pancake 10

Obviously, I love this movie. A lot. I didn't expect much when I rented it, I was actually torn between it and The Butterfly Effect. I sooo made the right choice.

Some of it is actually a little creepy. I can think of three times that I felt a little creeped, all involving animals. Well, and a skinless face. Most of it was my favorite combination, gory and fucking hilarious. Guiseppe Andrews completely owns the scenes he's in. And watching Shawn Hunter pouring Listerine on his... that's priceless.

I can't say enough good things about this movie, but at the same time I can understand why someone might not like it. They're totally wrong, but I understand.

10 out of 10 gay squirrels.
