Cabin Fever is, as far as I can tell, Eli Roth's first film. This film is what put him on the horror movie map. I absolutely LOVED this film. It's so sick and disgusting and disturbing and creepy all at the same time. Cabin Fever is about some kids going off for a vacation in the woods. They stay at this cabin in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by trees. There's some drug usage, some sex, typical stuff like that. However, when a sick old man shows up and begins coughing blood, they start to panic. They don't even bother to try and help him or find out how what he has and if it's contagious. Once he's "gone," the kids seem to relax again. But they're troubles are only beginning. One by one, they start to get infected, red patches showing up on their skin. Once this movie gets going, it doesn't let up, even at the end. There are quite a few cringe-worthy moments, especially the bathtub scene. That freaks me out every time. And the scene with the dog near the end is pretty nifty, too. Anyway, if you like sick, gory horror, give this movie a go. I enjoyed it and I'd give it 5 out of 5. Definitely a must-see movie for gore hounds.
Happy Nightmares, my loves.
