| The iconic poster for Eli Roth's Cabin Fever |
QUICK REVIEW:
A group of young people go into the woods to a cabin, where a strange, bleeding fella approaches them, and soon they begin contracting an eerie sickness one by one.
Cabin Fever is a bloody disgusting film, (a warm recommendation for horror fans and a warning for horror-phobiacs), a youth gore horror neo-classic with dark comedy touches.
The concept is old-fashioned as an 80's horror film, but the sickness part is all new (to my horror recollection), and co-writer/director Eli Roth (Hostel (2005)), whose feature debut this is, is so good at spinning one perverted super-scene after another, building on this one new device.
The music is a mischievous, adventure-ish mix by Angelo Badalamenti (Mulholland Drive (2001)), - whose involvement is quite a scoop for the film, - and Nathan Barr (Hostel: Part II (2007)). There's liberating humor, loony rednecks, sex and gore. And SPOILER everyone dies, of course. - It's just awesome!
Roth is finally directing films again, with The Green Inferno (2013) still mostly not out (troubled production!), and another film, Knock, Knock (2015) with Keanu Reeves already in the works.
