Cabin fever 2002 cast5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Cerina Vincent detects the first sign of infection With the help of Hollywood effects house KNB EFX Group, he delivers up a number of blood-glistening shock images – Jordan Ladd with her face rotted to the teeth, vicious dog attacks, various bodily meltdowns and two well directed scenes – one where Rider Strong finally gets to make it with Jordan Ladd only for his fingers probing Down Below to reveal a shock mass of blood and gore, and a nifty sequence where Cerina Vincent shaves her legs in the bath and unwittingly starts gashing her sores open. Roth delivers the satisfying goods on most counts as a horror film – he happily gets back to 1980s basics, gets his actresses topless and does not water the gore down to a PG-rated level. The teens are chosen not for good looks and one-dimensional characterizations but are refreshingly portrayed as being sarcastic and self-absorbed. Unlike most of these, Eli Roth is not afraid of getting down and bloody. ![]() Cabin Fever subsequently became a worldwide festival hit, found enthusiastic acclaim with genre fans and earned Eli Roth a ticket as a hot new director to watch out for.Ĭabin Fever should be welcomed for turning back the tide of bland, post- Scream (1996) teen horror films that dominated the early 00s. That said, Cabin Fever proved to be a sensation upon its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, where a bidding war for distribution rights resulted, with Lions Gate reputedly paying the highest sum they ever had to acquire the film. Certainly, a good deal of this was director Eli Roth’s own hyperbole and self-promotion – one is always leery of a film (or anything) that tries to proclaim itself as the new cult masterpiece. Cabin Fever emerged out of nowhere as the supposedly new full on, no-holds-barred horror hit of 2002. ![]()
