Cabin fever 2002 skin#
In fact… argh! My skin is peeling off! Help me! It isn’t that I understand and recognize the young group of college students at the center of Cabin Fever. And I’m not sure what it is like where all of you live, but in my section of existence, drug use, general drunkenness, a strong desire to have sex, selfishness, irresponsibility, and an overall nihilistic attitude towards life prevails.
Cabin fever 2002 movie#
When they see a movie with characters that seem offensive and/or do offensive things, they go “That’s awful! No one is really like that! Very unrealistic! Three thumbs down!” Remember, though: offensiveness is in the eye of the beholder. Ignoring the irony that people reading this review are internet surfers, let me make a kind of blanket statement (excluding you, of course, beautiful MRFH reader!) that a whole lot of internet dwellers are kind of naïve and have an optimistic view of life and humanity.
However, I think that myself and people like myself will enjoy Cabin Fever because we are rather different than most people. Theoretically, we all saw (or will see) the same Cabin Fever. I hope that joke made sense, because I’m not sure if it did or not. To a lot of viewers, none of the characters are sympathetic or particularly good, and the only motivation that is understood (by this slice of viewership) is the one of the flesh-easting disease, ‘cause it just reproduces and reproduces and has some shares of the gross. It is very upsetting, in a “did that character just touch that girl without her consent, and oh no, actual nudity in a modern horror film!” way.Īnd, a lot of times, it makes little or only crazy sense, especially when it comes to certain backwoods characters and backwoods situations that would seem to be easily resolved in the “real” world but become horrible plot points leading to infection and extremely bloody death instead. It is very gruesome, in a “there’s blood everywhere” and “omigosh that _ just split open and inside it looks like a red version of the goo inside those Cadbury eggs!” It is very inappropriate, in a “Those characters just used a racist slur! Those other characters throw around ‘gay’ in a ‘this is modern lingo’ way but it still seems homophobic!” way. I must warn you, however, that according to current statistical probability theory, Cabin Fever probably is not a film for you. I’ll send you the receipt, if you’d like! It was enough to get me to rent Cabin Fever as soon as it was out, and Cabin Fever was good enough that I watched the rental copy twice and as soon as I finish this review I’m headed out to buy the movie. It wasn’t enough to get me into the theaters, especially once it was only playing like 30 minutes away and it was hard enough finding time to read Walden. Because a lot of the important reviewers out there (spend a little time and you can find them easily) really loved Cabin Fever despite its faults, and while there was still disagreement over whether or not it was a CLASSIC, they thought it was pretty awesome and worth seeing at least once, if not many many times. Yikes! I sure was excited to see this movie… not.īut actually, I still was. They had gone and wasted money on a film populated with despicable characters in a very twisted and inappropriate cartoon version of reality, where bad stuff like murder and date rape and squirrel shooting happened and prejudicial and racist opinions were voiced and the flesh-eating disease was the hero of the picture, because all these disgruntled viewers wanted all the characters dead. At a certain site that purports to be cooler than it is, the talkbackers were seriously trashing Cabin Fever and made it out to be practically the end of the horror genre, if not the world. For the most part, you’d think this was one of the worst films ever made. Meanwhile, I read reviews and viewer responses on the internet, just to see what people thought. Sometimes I prefer watching crazy horror films on my own television, so I can cry and sob like a “little girl” when I get scared. I figured I’d catch it eventually, but then I ran out of time and didn’t get around to it. Kyle’s Review: I was too busy with school and assorted activities to go see Cabin Fever when it was released in theaters. Kyle’s Rating: You can be better than you are (doo doo!): you could be swinging on a star!
