Waste of time
an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
View MoreI watched this gore-fest with little expectations after the second Cabin Fever. Even with low expectations, I was disappointed.The plot is thin, the pace is slow, the horror is limited, the characters are not interesting and most of what happens makes little to no sense once you have accepted that the disease is real. The virus reacts so differently from a person to another that it's just ridiculous how one victim gets Deadly sick within a few minutes while others take hours before having serious symptoms. The security issues around a facility of that nature are laughable at best and the people working there seem to be hired on a good-looks basis only.Sean Astin is good, but his part is small and his lines are cliché.I also had an issue with the most gruesome action scenes where I had a hard time understanding what was happening. As it's often the case in many movies, the quick cut from an angle to another to prevent us from noticing how low budget some FX are makes it difficult to comprehend what they are really doing. Lighting in some scenes is horrible too.It's still enjoyable for some horrific scenes, but overall, this is not a good movie.Cabin fever 2 was equally bad. Cabin Fever (the original movie) was campy and kind of good, even though it was by no standards great.
View MoreCabin Fever 3? Where did it come from? Why is it here? Who made it? All these questions you'll probably never really figure out by watching the film. The first in the series was released over a decade ago. It was a nice (or rather horrible!) little film about a flesh-eating virus which didn't need any more done on the subject matter. However, they made a second instalment anyway. This was met with pretty much universal hatred. Therefore, the fact they went as far as to make number three remains a mystery.Personally, I didn't mind the second one. Yes, it wasn't as good as the first, but it was just about watchable. Number three is about five times worse than number two. It's about four American youngsters (who's good looks just about make up for any social niceties) who go to a remote island for some reason (are you bothered? You're only interested in the gore!) and end up falling foul to that good ol' fashioned killer virus we all know so well.Cabin Fever 3 is low budget. I have nothing against low budget films. However, if you can't afford A-list actors or special effects, at least try to make up for it by entertaining characters we can root for and relate to. No such luck here. When it comes to the battle between flesh-eating virus verses man, you too will probably root for the virus.The only famous face you might recognise is Sean Astin. Mordor and fun with Frodo seems a long way off now and he's reduced to some sort of extended sub-plot/cameo in this film. At least he's tried to disguise his appearance with a beard, but you can tell beneath the facial hair he's ashamed to be here and would rather have flung himself into Mount Doom instead of the One Ring. While the annoyingly good-looking teens are being eaten alive by the bug, Sean's been captured by a scientist who is so evil he speaks with a kind of randomly-changing accent which can be anything from British, through Canadian to American. Plus he seems to have employed two Victoria Secrets models for his lab assistants.However, it's not all bad (well, mostly it is). There is some nice gore and make-up. However, that makes up about ten of the ninety minutes. For the rest you'll probably be asking yourself why these infected people suddenly start behaving like zombies half way through the film (when you're not dwelling on why this film was ever made in the first place). If you like dark and gory horror (with a helping of tongue in cheek) then watch the first Cabin Fever – ignore anything that shares its name made after the original.
View MoreWow, this has got to be one of the worst movies i have ever seen, although it is only 90 minutes long, it is so incredibly boring i barely got through it. The plot is completely dumb, the acting is horrible, no suspension whatsoever.Not a point in the whole movie that was interesting and araised curiosity of what is going to happen next, a very dull and blatant movie.The first 2 parts were somehow still bearable, but this just does not live up to its prequels, the same overused scenes over and over again, the rotten genital scene is getting kinda old and could only amuse or disgust a person who has never seen anything and has lived in a cage for 50 years.I strongly suggest everyone to save their time and instead watch something else, also, hopefully there won't be a part 4, this franchise died after the second movie, that is it. No wonder why it has a rating of 4,5.
View MoreI'm a great fan of the Cabin Fever series, and with this new addition to the series I think it may POSSIBLY (SPOILER ALERT) led to yet another sequel. I enjoyed the suspense of the film which usually occurs throughout the first half of most horror film and loved the story build up. However, I never expected the events which is always a plus to any horror geek like myself. I'd have to say though that because you don't really suspect the ending, you're left with many questions and assumptions which isn't necessarily always bad but sometimes can keep the viewers attention on other aspects of the film rather than what is really being portrayed.
