Cabin Fever Reviews
A protege of David Lynch, Roth puts a sardonic spin on the puritanism of the 80s slasher...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2006
Definitely unforgettable, it's destined for cult classic status.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 22, 2003
Firmly in the tradition of the new generation of pulp-horror movies, Cabin Fever gives good value in both the humour and the gore stakes, without confusing one with the other.

Severed-head- and-shoulders above the spate of recent shockers.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 1, 2003
... disgusting and brainless ...

You've got to love a horror movie that wears its bloody influences so happily on its sleeve, and then proceeds to roll it up and start swinging the axe in a different direction.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 12, 2003
You won't want to eat, drink or be touched after a bout of Cabin Fever.

Cabin Fever starts small, and stays small, never reaching the transcendent Blair Witch heights of the biggest low-budget successes.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 12, 2003
Movies about flesh-eating viruses don't come along every day. Cabin Fever, which opens today, demonstrates why.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 12, 2003
Other than a few witty jokes and a game cast, there's nothing particularly special here. Still, the nods to masters like Wes Craven and George Romero -- along with buckets of blood -- ought to thrill horror fans.

Cabin Fever is imitative, but it's honestly and even reverentially so -- what Roth borrows he at least has the grace to pay back.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 12, 2003
A clever and bloody romp over the turf of friendship and fear.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 12, 2003
Taken on its own repellently coarse and shocking B-movie terms, it's every bit as infectious in its way as the gross-out virus it depicts.
Full Review | Original Score: A- | Sep 12, 2003
The movie adds up to a few good ideas and a lot of bad ones, wandering around in search of an organizing principle.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 12, 2003
The movie is well shot and decently acted for its genre, but it lacks the distinctive vision to make it of value to anyone not already convinced of the inherent entertainment value in flying body parts.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 12, 2003
This movie may appeal to the youthful, midnight-madness crowd, but there isn't enough in it to bestow it with classic B-movie glory.
Full Review | Sep 12, 2003
A loud, derivative grade-Z horror film of no particular distinction.

Cabin Fever is something you don't want to catch.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 12, 2003
Dopey comic interludes do little but disrupt the flow.
