Right and wrong, trust and betrayal. How far would you go to look after number 1 when the killer doesn't care who you are? Cabin Fever shows human nature in a brilliantly constructed, fast paced and delightfully gory couple of hours.
Group hysteria has always been the horror writer's most treasured plot device and Cabin Fever takes it to another level. When a group of students head out into the woods in pursuit of a little fun no one blinks an eye, but as the audience would expect from a traditional horror film it all ends in the inevitable. Gore and death. As normal the characters have more money than sense and are demonstrably attractive but when all their fun and fornication comes to an end they all show what’s behind their pretty faces…perhaps because they are falling off.
Enter the deliverer of death. Late one night, these teenagers get a visit. No he's not collecting for charity or trying to sell them double-glazing. It is someone a lot worse. It’s the local hermit; he’s drenched in his own blood and begging for help and eughhh he’s peeling! What would you do? Well that dilemma is quickly resolved thanks to the kick az$ now and ask questions later approach of the occupants. They don't half trash their car though.
Oh dear it seems they have created more problems than they have solved. Now they are trapped in the middle of nowhere with the cannibal kid at the nearest store and a killer virus outside. Well, at least they got rid of the filthy beggar...
It seems to me that the central characters could have benefited from a few more visits to Sunday school, did no one ever tell them to treat others they way you would like to be treated? This dominant theme may be highly unoriginal but thanks to the brilliant portrayal of teenage reactions to horrific situations this film does stand out from the rest.
Although the plot of Cabin Fever can be somewhat unconvincing at times with a variety of startling coincidences they are soon forgotten about. Cabin Fever's director Eli Roth saw this films potential and has achieved the remarkable. Cabin Fever brilliantly shows us the mental break down of these 5 students as their long life friends slowly decompose around them. This allows issues such as euthanasia to be presented in a movie environment without any real controversy. After seeing the rotting flesh and showers of blood you really do sympathise with their situation and the question of, what would you do? Comes forward once again.
You must remember however that this is not a Scream movie. There is no man in a costume who wants to slice and dice some kids. This film has a different type of killer, one that is invisible, one that is relentless and one with unknown origins...until it is too late.
If you like psychological thrillers and your gory horror movies then you'll love Cabin Fever but be warned, this is not for the faint of heart. Cabin Fever is a well deserved 4 star flick and I'd advise anyone and everyone to go and check it out whenever you get the chance. Sweet dreams.

Exactly my point - hideous misinformation. It was NOT Iraqi terrorists who carried out September 11th attacks, nor will you find any information to back yourself up. If you want to try, then be my guest. But it ain't happening. The people in question came from Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan.
You seem to think this is a point of view, or an opinion. It simply isn't. It is an objextive fact, and you're wrong. Hell, maybe in the future I will be proven wrong, and it may come out that there was one Iraqi on one of the planes. Very very unlikely now, but let's just say that it happened - that still does not stop the fact that right now you can't know about it, because there is no evidence. Nothing to back you up at all.
In the past you've said "Do you not watch the news Blank?", and by saying these things and connecting Iraq to September 11th you're showing that you don't. There has never been any evidence shown on any news broadcast that implicates Iraq to the World Trade Centre attacks in any way. Go and research it iff you like, but it's the truth.

Okay. So what you're saying is that because a few Iraqis carried out September 11th - which they DIDN'T - then we should level their cities right? So aside from the fact that they didn't anyway, don't you think it's just a tad stupid to wipe out an entire country for the act of the few? There have been many British and American terrorists - does this mean we should obliterate all UK and US cities? Because by your own logic this is the route we have to take.

You are being racist. You're discriminating against one race simply because they are that race and nothing else. Definition racism.

The most efficient way to solve terrorism is to slaughter millions upon millions of innocent people? Thanks for proving my point that you are a misinformed, stubborn, big headed complete idiot. You did it quite nicely.

It started off with you posting a review, which I didn't believe you wrote, simply because in previous posts you've shown yourself to be nothing more than moronic. An example of those posts would be the ones in which you said that we should level all Iraqi cities for something they didn't do.
So yes, of course I hold a grudge against you. Because I, personally, found what you said to be offensive. let alone misinformed, idiotic, wrong etc

I'm not narrow minded I just know that that is the easiest way to fight back. It's like going after a fly with a bazooka but in the end a bazooka gets the job done anyway. As for being racist where did that come from? I have nothing against people from other walks of life I just think that world war 3 has to come around sometime and we might as well be the ones killing the terrorists before it starts instead of the terrorists attacking us...again.

I offered to stop this little knocking contest but you persist. Oh well, you can so what you want. In the end you're still probably just some teenage geek with greasy hair, acne, braces and a social group of well we wont go there.

No this is the part were I laugh, at you, for kicks. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...ahem well that's the end of that. So do you want to stop arguing now? I don't want to, just don't say I copy reviews again.
This is where you start typing real words in order to convince me you aren't Hawking minus the intellect.
