User Review
Don't let them out
Rating: 2/10
Having seen the first Cabin Fever, which I really liked (it showcased
Eli Roths talent for sick and twisted horror comedy, so to speak), I
kinda had hoped this could be better. But even before watching the
movie, I heard the "director" Ti West, distancing himself from this
movie (at a Festival, where I didn't have another option/movie to
choose from, that's why I chose to watch this anyway, despite the
warning)!!!
He didn't like the movie and he didn't cut it together (there are also
some additional scenes shot and edited into the movie, especially the
ending) and he also said, that people might like it or hate it, but
either way, he is not responsible for what people will think of the
movie ...
Having said that, I for once thought it was dreadful. Almost every
"funny" line doesn't work, the chemistry between the two best friends
is off, not to mention that the American Pie style thing just doesn't
work. Unfortunately the main character isn't as good in his role as he
could have been (you might have seen him in "Dead Girl" where he is
phenomenal). There is also a side story that is really bad (it's
supposed to be funny, but it just isn't).
Some gory moments and a few actually not that bad one liners can't save
this mess of a movie. There are movies out there, that are worse, but
this still has got quite a few things wrong. If you want to see a good
Ti West movie, watch his House of the Devil instead ...
