Review
I may be wrong, but the basic premise of Cabin Fever may not be original. I mean it has a group of good-looking young people heading into the backwoods of America for a weekend away from the big city. The gals are cute, the guys include a jock, a dickhead and the boy next door and you just have the slightest suspicion that they may not all leave the cabin. Now Cabin Fever does depart from the genre a tad by not having brother-marrying-sister offspring appearing and trying to bump them all off, instead there is a nasty disease floating around that is even more deadly than a tribe of inbreeds. There are occasionally humourous moments and a lot of blood but overall an utter waste of time. Mind you, if you start watching it is worth putting up with the crap to see the really funny side of the shopkeeper's crack about who the gun is for!
