Chicago – Horror fans heard the buzz surrounding “Cabin Fever” for months before it came out and the film launched Mr. Eli Roth to the “Hostel” films and even a role in the multiple Oscar nominee “Inglourious Basterds”. That film has now been released on Blu-ray to coincide with its straight-to-dvd sequel “Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever,” itself directed by an already-acclaimed new horror director, “House of the Devil“‘s Ti West.
“Cabin Fever 2” DVD Rating: 1.0/5.0
“Cabin Fever” Blu-Ray Rating: 3.0/5.0
“Cabin Fever” undeniably had a twisted, dark sense of humor but West’s “Cabin fever 2” takes it several steps further, practically pitching his sequel as a comedic spoof of ’80s teen horror flicks. He moves the action to a high school and keeps the flesh-eating action in place, but his tone is severely tongue-in-cheek from the animated opening credits to exaggerated faculty members to the appearances by over-the-top personalities like Mark Borchardt,...

The work of Eli Roth provides something of an interesting litmus test. His horror films are regularly out-grossed by his Saw competitors, a fact which is reflected by the general popular appraisal of his films (the first Hostel has a 5.7 rating on IMDb.com, whereas the first Saw has a 7.7). On the other hand, the man has garnered an auspicious group of industry fans (which includes Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Guillermo del Toro, John Landis, and Robert Rodriguez), whom are all too happy to continue to fund and support his work. For better or worse, Roth’s career began with Cabin Fever, and he has not deviated from the trajectory that it set him on since. While the film showcases everything that makes him a technically proficient director, it also shows with gale force everything that makes him unpalatable to a larger audience.
