Movie Review: Cabin Fever R--4 Strings



this movie is stunningly good. i anticipated the usual pandering and simple-minded disrespect for the horror genre. boy was i wrong. this movie nods so effectively at the artform, my hope for horror movies was vastly increased. i saw hooks from other movies included in this one: american werewolf in london, deliverance, dawn of the dead, house of 1000 corpses and a few others.

whoever made this movie clearly, in my opinion, tried to make a real horror movie out of it. whoever did the promotion for this movie dropped the ball on such a wicked level. people, horror fans in particular, should really enjoy this movie. a little slow in spots, but way solid. lots of gratuitous violence and plenty of stupid fun.

hey, its duhliterate to you mike (haha). brad--yeah, thats weird. it was like i was watching different movies at the same time. that band playing at the end. youre right, the marketing sucked. and that old guy in the store was hilarious. if i get that old, i hope i speak like he did with that goofy old guy/southern accent.
