Andy B I'll start off my admitting that I'm not a huge fan of the original Cabin Fever. There's something essentially unsatisfying about a horror film where there is no substantial bad guy to oppose. However, it was amusing enough in the gore department. Cabin Fever 2 decides to up the ante by having the outbreak happen in a high school on prom night. In order to get this to happen, there are a series of things that have to happen: a distracted school bus driver, a lazy deputy - although actually, the contaminant was already in the drinking water. The infection hits during the prom, blood vomiting ensues. And that’s pretty much where sanity leaves the room. A group of people turn up to “contain” the infection - which they do by shooting people and throwing tear grenades. This is the equivalent of trying to put out a fire with an axe. Acting is ok, characters are shallow and cliched, FX is suitably gory. There is an extended animated sequence at the end showing how the contagion spreads further - which would be good except for the fact that this is copying the title sequence from Survivors. This is one of those films that claims to be a comedy horror, but which contains no comedy. I would recommend avoiding it in the same way you should avoid a lesion covered, bloody girl. .

The premise was always going to be hard to continue. Contaminated water is a tough one. But still, TI WEST!

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review Jules N Une plutôt bonne suite divertissante Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Lee L Until just now, "The Greenskeeper" was one of the dumbest, lame, idiotic cut and slash movie I had ever seen; it's only redeeming value, if there is/was one was the creative ways to killer managed to -- for lack of a better word -- destroy all the pretty young people who were violating the links performing various types of sex .... and showing off cleavage that would make a teenage boy panting (and asking) for more. Oh, and former Major League Baseball pitcher John Rocker played a key role (gotta love those former players). Then alongs come 2009's Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever which, with its 16% Rotten Tomatoes score gave me a glimmer of hope that there might be a couple of percentage points more than I saw in The Greenskeeper. Sadly, this movie doesn't ever feature any cutting and slashing, just a bunch of different colors and shades of puke as person after person ingests contaminated water that is bottled by a local, well, bottler. The silliest part is that when some likely governmental agency learns of the vileness of the water and the contaminant, instead of rescuing the victims and get them to a hospital or care center, they lock all the doors to the school -- oh, yeah, I forgot to mention this was Prom Night -- so that any of the kids, led by the male and female leads who can't decide whether or not they want to fall in love or have sex or whatever, couldn't get out, even if they wanted to. Finally they do, only to hitch a ride in a vehicle driven by the only surviving employee of the bottler and the adolescent who, somehow, ended up with a Police Department job and badge and, somehow, actually discovered the virus and was trying to run away. Eventually they hook up with a couple of Mexicans -- no, there was no disguising any semblance of racial stereotypes, including the African American janitor who only had one line and repeated it at least once -- who stop at a strip club and get a lap dance from a stripper who is saving up money to go back home to New Orleans, while the Mexicans have Tijuana in their sights and the others are going who-knows-where, strongly telling us that we're about the have an epidemic that's going to clean up and clear out the planet. Here's hoping that ending will convince the writers and producers to not even THINK about making Cabin Fever 3. In only gave it a one-half star because the female lead, Alexi Wasser, was kind of cute. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
