Cabin Fever

Eli Roth's "Cabin Fever" is a fun movie that I will watch again and again. There is imagination, suspense, good gore and reminders of some of my other favorite movies all wrapped in one!First, "Evil Dead" : A pack of college-aged kids decide that a great idea for a vacation is to rent a cabin in the middle of the woods with no telephone or any other form of communication. Heck, the Cabin Fever crew even has to cross water to get to their destination. The "Cabin Fever" youngsters vary a bit from their Evil Dead counterparts, but not much: There is the sex-crazed couple, a romantic couple, and a "third wheel" that is a bit insane. They come to the cabin "to party", as described by the VERY weird deputy sheriff (played by Giuseppe Andrews), he was cool in "2001 Maniacs".


Tow from this movie played in "Death Proof". Any way, now to the good stuff, OK, so a strange disease begins to spread to each of them. What begins as a freakish encounter with a local hermit who looks a bit like his skin is peeling off develops into a water supply tainted with flesh-eating bacteria that begins dissolving our heroes one by one. Eli Roth, to me anyway, is the fucking truth! I love the fact that he's so iffy about germs , it really comes through cause this movie made me gag. If you haven't seen this one yet, then what the fuck are you waiting for.
