The aforementioned terrible dialogue sounds so often like it was written as a joke, expletives spit forth like machine gun fire and the gunner’s got a full load. While the plot chugs along at its rapid pace, complimented by Roth’s skill as a director and some excellent cinematography by Scott Kevan (who would later work with Strong again in 2007’s Borderland) and the always-amazing folks at KNB on special effects, there are deep flaws here as well.

And that’s where the real horror comes in. And when you consider the story originated from Roth himself contracting a similar malady, you see just how much more plausible this story is than the other college kids in the woods stories. Same old same old in the five college kids in the cabin set-up, but this time the killer isn’t demonic forces or escaped lunatics or mythic beasts. Their first night there, however, they’re accosted by a local hermit whose been infected with a very deadly and aggressive flesh-eating bacteria, which soon begins to tear through the group in very bloody fashion.

But once the movie gets going, I think it definitely finds a stride and rides it to a very satisfying conclusion.Ĭabin Fever is the story of five newly-graduated college students, Paul (Rider Strong, “Boy Meets World”), Marcy (Cerina Vincent, “Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy”), Karen (Jordan Ladd, Grace), Bert (James DeBello, Scary Movie 2), and Jeff (Joey Kern, The Sasquatch Gang), who are renting a cabin in the woods for the week with one goal: to party! I do still think the opening scene with the five college kids and Cerina Vincent’s Marcy character’s delivery of her first few lines of dialogue totally set the movie up for some terrible dialogue and hackneyed deliveries, some of the worst to come out of the first part of that decade. It’s been over a decade since I first saw Cabin Fever, and have only seen it twice now, but upon a second viewing, I’d like to amend my previous opinion. And second, that respect and admiration has always been somewhat tarnished for me in that I hated this movie the first time I saw it and could never understand what people saw in it. First, I have so much admiration and respect for writer/director Eli Roth both as a filmmaker and a champion of the horror genre. There are two things that always bugged me about the whole Cabin Fever phenomenon, and they’re connected. Main Cast: Rider Strong and Cerina Vincent
