Five college buddies retreat to the woods for a little R & R and end up getting a horrific lesson in infectious disease in this low-budget shocker. Cabin Fever stars Rider Strong as the geeky Paul, who hopes to settle in around the campfire with his brash buds Jeff (Joey Kern) and Bert (James DeBello), and make the moves on the nubile-but-shy Karen (Jordan Ladd). Unfortunately, a wayward, forest-dwelling vagrant (Arie Verveen) stumbles into their lives, his skin badly desiccated by a mysterious virus. Fearing for their own lives, the quintet decide to do away with the man, with little success: He stumbles away from the campsite and into a nearby stream, where his disease quickly infects the local water supply. It isn't long before the oblivious co-eds get a taste of the man's illness, and in their desperation, each learns that he or she will stop at nothing to survive. Cabin Fever premiered at the 2002 Toronto Film Festival, where it was snapped up by Lions Gate for a fall 2003 release. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide

| It's amazing that after this work writer/directer Eli Roth was able to get funding for future projects. The main cast is laughable and you really don't care that a flesh eating virus is eating them alive and personally I would've like to watch them go through more pain and agony. You see flashes of the brilliance Roth displayed with his second feature "Hostel" with his characterization. I'd recommend watching this with a bunch of friends and some sort of mind altering substance, to endure this movie that should be dubbed a comedy other than horror. |

| This movie really is awful. Eli Roth talks a big game, but he's just another shmuck who can't make a horror film. Like SAW, great marketing by Lions Gate, but the film sucks. |

| I'd give this movie a zero if I could. As someone else mentioned, this isn't bad enough to be fun to watch, it's just plain bad. The actions of the characters almost never make any sense, the characters are all clichéd and unlikeable and the ending was so bad I was actually giving the screen the middle finger. The only part that redeems this is the completely out of nowhere 'pancakes pancakes pancakes' kung fu scene. It's hard to believe this movie got made. |
