Gory, scary, smart and funny, this is definitely one of the best horror films I’ve seen in years.
Cabin Fever may not be a horror classic, but it's definitely an ideal midnight movie.

I was really surprised by this one! It was so fun to watch, gory as hell, and also hilarious. I liked how it paid some homage to stuff like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Evil Dead, and The Shining, while also keeping a tongue-in-cheek tone. The gore effects were disgusting, the acting and cinematography were good, and the ending was absolutely hilarious. It seems like a love-it-or-hate-it type of movie, but if you like movies like The Evil Dead and Slither, you'll love this.

First-time director Eli Roth turns this cheapie into a greatest-hits of horror. It's a blast of good gory fun that just won't quit.
A disciple of David Lynch's, Roth packs his story with horror, humor, hillbillies and sex. Roth caps his fast-moving story with a joke that's as oddly left-field as it is funny, but truth to tell, it is funny.
As a thriller, Cabin Fever falls short, filled with characters so obnoxiously stupid that just watching their skin slowly melt off doesn't seem like enough punishment.
The movie adds up to a few good ideas and a lot of bad ones, wandering around in search of an organizing principle.
It's just a watery, undeservedly smug update of the low-budget, kids-stranded-in-the-sticks bloodfests of the 1970s and '80s.
Two years in a row, new horror classics were released to theaters. First, The Ring, and now Cabin Fever, a deviously delicious exploitation horror from newcomer Eli Roth, who has great potential as a director. This is also some of the best horror camerawork I've seen in a very long time.

Cabin Fever es una película muy interesante, entretenida y directa, pero al mismo tiempo es bastante asquerosa, visceral y explícita. Todo el conjunto funciona bastante bien pese a que el ritmo de la historia es un poco disparejo y el humor negro aplicado en varias ocasiones no siempre funciona.

An incredibly bad movie that lacks enjoyment, suspense, thriller and the surprise factor of a horror movie.....

Just Painful to watch, what the hell was that about, one thing this movie teach me it's to watch the trailer or read the plot before watching a movie ever again, and not judge the movie only by it's poster (rookie mistake). It was horrible, no sense at all, just stupid. The acting 0/10 those people didn't know what they were doing at all, it was all just a big mess.
