Cabin Fever

About This Movie

Cabin Fever is a raw slice of early 2000s horror that really leans into its grotesque elements. Eli Roth's direction has this grimy, unsettling vibe, especially as the group of friends starts losing their grip on sanity. The practical effects are a standout here—there's something about the raw nature of the virus that just sticks with you. It's not your typical slasher; it plays more on paranoia and the breakdown of social bonds in isolation. The performances are a mixed bag, but the tension and atmosphere are palpable. It's got that grungy, DIY feel that makes it feel different from the slicker studio horrors of its time.

Released in 2003, a key film in the 'torture porn' subgenre. · Notable for its practical effects, especially the flesh-eating virus scenes. · Features a notable cast including Jordan Ladd and James DeBello. · Shot in and around the scenic woods of West Virginia.
