Cabin Fever.

Ok, so I decided to watch this on Channel 4 earlier.

All I can say is; what the hell?

I'm still trying to work out whether it was supposed to be a serious horror, a comedic horror, or a parody of something. It's just utterly bizzare :confused:

Can anyone shed any light on this matter?

It seems serious...until the credits.

Just random people turning up at that store with some random old guy there selling rifles to a few rapper wannabe and laughing with them while 2 kids selling contaminated Lemonade and then some reason they are shipping Spring water out of that place ? :confused:

The water is contaminated and they don't get rid of it, then it shows water being taken from the area and people drinking it laughing and being jolly.

It was a really really bad attempt at irony, I can kind of see why there's some confusion as to what they were trying to do.

I can't rememeber that part or much else from the film tbh, that's how much of an impression it made on me.

I'd like to know what was in the box that the fat guy was carrying, him who got the screwdriver through the brain!

That is because it is one of the worst films ever, I've said it before and I'll say it again, what sort of rubbish horror film has no tangible enemy and no direction to the killings.

bit like hostel really just generally crap, i think eli roth should give up

Welshy · 9 Jul 2007 at 13:10

I watched it also, at least up until the locals started chasing the guy who drove off in the car.

PANCAKES!!!! WTF? :confused:

I just got frustrated at that point and had to turn over.

Saw it years ago and got really confused by that hick blonde kid! Just happened to switch it on right at the moment when the kid goes mental (i know its only a film but that kid would have good a smack way before allowing him to bite by hand!)

I found that really bazaar too, pure silly stupid karate moment, totally baffling.
