Member Rating:  
Five college buddies retreat to the woods for a little R & R and end up getting a horrific lesson in infectious disease in this low-budget shocker. Cabin Fever stars Rider Strong as the geeky Paul, who hopes to settle in around the campfire with his brash buds Jeff (Joey Kern) and Bert (James DeBello), and make the moves on the nubile-but-shy Karen (Jordan Ladd). Unfortunately, a wayward, forest-dwelling vagrant (Arie Verveen) stumbles into their lives, his skin badly desiccated by a mysterious virus. Fearing for their own lives, the quintet decide to do away with the man, with little success: He stumbles away from the campsite and into a nearby stream, where his disease quickly infects the local water supply. It isn't long before the oblivious co-eds get a taste of the man's illness, and in their desperation, each learns that he or she will stop at nothing to survive. Cabin Fever premiered at the 2002 Toronto Film Festival, where it was snapped up by Lions Gate for a fall 2003 release. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

The movie is good enough that when it airs on SyFy I typically keep it on. Yeah it's pretty predictable, there's no maniac, hillbilly cannibal or chainsaw carrying psycho, just a gross flesh eating contagious disease that prove who their friends really are. Remember when you're traveling to unknown small hick towns to not drink the lemonade.

I saw the 2nd one first, and I really liked it because it was gross and funny, but this one is even better. Gross and funny, but well made. The special effects are great! We liked it so much we bought it.

A good movie, interesting story. Not really a "horror movie" like we are all used to. Makes you think of what you and your friends would do in such a situation. Was pretty realistic. Worth a rent for sure. Better than a lot of other movies out there. But spare yourself from the sequal.... it is no where near this movie, it was awful and disgusting.
