October 19th, 2013: Cabin Fever



"An unrelenting, gruesomely funny blood bath. I loved it!" - Peter Jackson, Director of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Since Rider Strong is getting married tomorrow, I figured it would be appropriate to watch Cabin Fever tonight.  This is one I watch every October since it takes place during the Fall.  The set is perfect and just makes me want to go camping. 

A group of college friends head out to a cabin in the woods for a vacation.  While they're out there one of the students gets sick.  As the the sickness worsens, the student notices their flesh is deteriorating.  The disease spreads and only gets worse as the rest of the crew discovers that it is contagious. 

Cabin Fever is directed by Eli Roth. Roth also created the Hostel films and played "The Bear Jew" in Inglorious Bastards.  He has definitely shown what he can do in the horror world but I think we've only seen the beginning.  His upcoming movie, The Green Inferno, was inspired by the controversial 1980's film Cannibal Holocaust and is said to be quite the blood bath.  Cabin Fever is no Sesame Street but it just might seem that way once Roth's latest is released.
