Just something about the way her character went about it. There is a scene involving her and Rider Strong towards the end that was so funny to me. Not because of her nude scenes (those were nice, I won’t lie) but mainly for her attitude towards everything. I guess the highlight for me must have been Cerina Vincent. I appreciated most of the performances here for a horror movie our main protagonists played precisely, who they were meant to play. It transports you to one of those sketches that are weird, and you know there is a joke somewhere around, but you can’t find it. And every scene with him, the way he carried himself, took me out of the movie and transported me in a Monty Python sketch. But then, we have the cop character, who was more interested in partying. By the way, I appreciated the humour of when our protagonists are back there, later on, there is a sign saying something about how strangers shouldn’t approach the kid as he bites. And if it stayed with just that one thing, I think I would not mind that much. I know the “pancakes karate kid” is beloved for how weird that segment is (kid does karate in slow motion while shouting: “PANCAKES!” and then bites one of our heroes). But yet again, the bizarreness of it isn’t blended well into the film. The movie looks cheaper than even the original The Evil Dead (1981), especially the editing struck me as quite harsh (cutting too quickly in between scenes) for some of the scenes. That is if you know how to shoot your way around it. You can tell Eli Roth had a limited budget, which is not a bad thing per se. Where the movie loses me was with pretty much anything else. I appreciated that because even though back then he was the asshole, in 2021, he’s the most reasonable one in that group! The smartest character was the guy who freaked out about germs and bailed on everybody. And maybe it has something to do with the fact, we are still dealing with the pandemic and have a virus going around, killing people (albeit not in such a gruesome way as this one) I did not care for it. You realise you are not watching a slasher, more a virus/plague movie. They make themselves comfortable one couple immediately goes to bed and gets freaky, the others go out, and one of them stumbles upon a strange dude.įrom then on, everything changes. A bunch of horny teenagers go to the cabin for a weekend, meet a local (racist, but there is a caveat to that I will address later) clerk, who semi warns them they get out and head towards the cabin. This film didn’t sit well with me at all.Ĭabin Fever is clever, starting as your stereotypical “cabin in the woods” story. Then, you grow up to discover that you do like horror movies and you try watching those famous ones, as those should be good, right? That’s what I thought, at least. So naturally, you didn’t want to watch it. If you were like me, growing up in the early 2000s, you might have heard stories about how this film was terrifying etc.
