Title: Cabin Fever
Post by: Zok on May 04, 2004, 04:27:27 PM
After reading many of Smilo’s and Chimpy’s reviews and commentaries on several of the new realeases to hit the cinema and dvd, and being generally impressed with the depth at which they will dissect some films to uncover another message or some sort of social comment, I thought it was time that I added my observations of some of the films I have recently watched.

I will start with “Cabin Fever”

It was crap.

It's writer/director Roth's vision and artistry that sells this film - catchy tagline or not. Roth knows his audience, and this genre, as proven by the fact that his low-budget horror movie “Cabin Fever” is generating the kind of buzz overly hyped, mega-budgeted, star-studded studio fare can only dream about.

” Blood, guts, gore, and nudity - those qualities, plus a great script and actors who play their roles authentically, help create one of the best horror movies in years. “Cabin Fever's” got that whole 70s vibe going on, and for fans of gruesome scary movies, it's about time some filmmaker went back to the basics and served up something with a bite to it.





There, not so hard is it?!! ;)











Is the director the same guy who directed the excellent  "Real Cabin Fever"  a  great "crap noir" and obviously heavily influenced by Robocop, which gives him some pedigree.

The game will add almost zero interest in the film and the film companies will no doubt leverage heavily on the crappiness of the film in merchandising products.




damn, I think I'm getting the hang of this :whistle:  ;)

ROFL  :D  Although if you rewatch it you'll find Jordan Ladd does make impressive viewing.  A truly "standout" performance  :dribble:

Nice one Zokey  ;)  We'll make a film geek of you yet
