Cabin Fever 2 announced...

i'd rather see a house of the dead 2

LMFAO...I hope you're joking.


House of the Dead = Worst horror movie ever.

both of those movies were equally trash. how you can say one is better than the other is like going to the park, finding two piles of dog shit, and trying to find more positives in one pile

Equally trash?...I give "Cabin Fever" a 5/10...I give "House of the Dead" a 0/10...No exaggerations.

so what was so good about cabin fever? the story was unoriginal, the characters were complete morons and fucking stupid, dialog sucked, the special effects weren't that special

sounds alot like HOD to me

Eli Roth promised he would bring back the good days of horror with Cabin Fever, promising lots of gore and nudity, in his mind, this is what horror should be all about.

The premise of a flesh eating virus being the danger, rather than some masked chainsaw wielding nutter is a good one, and, for the most part, is used effectively enough.

The introduction is standard stuff - a bunch of horny teenagers head to a remote cabin to drink beers, smoke weed and have sex. Blah Blah. The origin of the flesh eating virus is never revealed - we just see a hermit staggering through the woods with his face hanging off, but its no biggie. When the film gets rolling though, the infection of our teenage buddies is gradual, creepy and effective. The acting is convincing enough on the most part, however aside from Rider Strong, the male roles come across as rather untrained, nervy performances.

But hey, since when have kids in horror movies been good actors right? Roth's script is good enough for its type 99% of the time, but there are some silly lines, and daft unnecessary events that take away from the movie big time. The 'Police Officer' with the persona of a 17 year old party obsessive is beyond stupid, and could have been played way more effectively as a suspicious older lawman. Then there's the 12 year old inbred hick karate expert who shouts 'pancakes!' and bites people - im sure it was a funny idea at the time guys, but surely someone must have said "well yeah, but thats going to ruin the entire film Eli, you big, big fool you?" Shame.

There are plus points though. The gore set-pieces are top notch, a few of which had the audiences in the cinema i work in screaming out loud, or grinding their teeth and whimpering at the now infamous 'leg shaving' scene. The scripting/acing errors arent quite enough to ruin the film though, however the ending very nearly is... Roth for some reason extracts all the menace out of the story once again by parading a bunch of dummy dummy rednecks ingesting the virus, to some very dummy dummy redneck music.

All in all though, Cabin Fever is still one of the most entertaining little horror films to hit our screens in recent memory, because it doesn't hold back, thank God. It does remind me of the time when horror was good. And had breasts. Its worth a watch for the jumpy moments, and decent humour, but only just. I just hope more skilled actors/directors realise that horror is making a comeback, and capitalise on it.

6/10

This is the absolute worst horror film made in years. What a total waste of time. Who was the moron who gave this movie the green light. Please god - don't let this director make anything else.

I really, really, really hated this piece of trash. I wish there was an option to give NO STARS because that's what this film deserved.

A total Raimi rip-off (except that Raimi had cool demons possess the characters and had an amazing visual flair even at the age of 19 when he made the original Evil Dead.)

I just totally loathed this vomitous crap. Every single character was moronic and unlikable. Were we supposed to hate them all so much that we'd be glad when they started to bleed? The ending was a total lame-ass rip off of "Night of the Living Dead".

I'll never watch one of this guy's movies ever again. I want the 90 mins of my life back!

1 out of 5 stars

don't try to impress me with reviews....they really don't mean shit

You asked me what was good about "Cabin Fever", and the review pointed out what was good about it...Moron.



There's absolutely NOTHING good about "House of the Dead"...

I purchased this DVD used based on the 6.1 sound. The DVD is a zombie slasher movie, and it is what it is (You like it or hate it). The 6.1 sound is excellent. The rear surround speakers are effectively utilized and not just a repetition of the 5.1 surround speakers. The subwoofer rocks the house. So, if you are a fan of this genre film and are looking for a great DTS 6.1 sound, pick this movie up. Enjoy, j.

that proves there's something good about house of the dead...this guy rated it 4 out of 5 stars.....

once again ratings don't mean shit
