Cabin Fever

CABIN FEVER (2002) - April 8, 2007
Though not as good as Eli Roth's follow-up, Hostel, this was still an entertaining and reasonably effective horror film. About a group of teenagers who head out into an isolated cabin in the woods only to get infected by some kind of flesh-eating virus. The main problem is that the characters never really become people we care about, despite a reasonably lengthy portion at the beginning in which not much happens. It probably doesn't help that the performances, for the most part, aren't the best. The film looked good though; it was well directed by Eli Roth, and did feature some fairly effective sequences, particularly towards the end. ***
