#CABIN FEVER VICTORIA IL SERIES#

Filmed on a modest budget of 1.5 million, Cabin Fever set a new precedence for the shock value of gore. It's hard to believe almost eight years have passed since Eli Roth burst onto the horror scene. Battling against time and desperate for a cure, things are about to get far worse before they get better. The shy couple stays behind (shell-shocked by the events of the prior night), and soon realize the infection has found a new host. The following morning brings a new round of bad omens, as the youngsters discover the truck won't start, and several set off in search of help. Forcing the man from the truck with blunt objects and a gun, the hermit is eventually set on fire and lost to the stillness of the night. Bert demonstrates little hesitation in turning him away, but when the man attempts to steal their only means of transportation, all hell breaks loose. Later that evening, the residents of the cabin are wrapping up a night of campfire mischief to hunker down for the night, when they hear a knock at the door and discover the same diseased man on their doorstep. Alarmed by the man's appearance, Bert discharges his rifle in the direction of monstrous sight, and escapes back to the comfort of the cabin.

While chasing one of the elusive creatures, Bert crosses paths with a sickly woodland hermit with a disgusting skin condition. The remaining member of the entourage is a bumbling jock named Bert (James DeBello), who decides to pass his time shooting squirrels and drinking beer. Settling down during their first afternoon, one couple hops in the sack for an afternoon of sexual escapades, while another pair dons swim gear for their playful stroll to the nearby lake. When five college friends descend on a remote cabin in the middle of a rural town, they expect a weeklong escape from the stress of midterms and finals.

That's not to say a future installment of the series won't ruin that as well, but at least I felt safe in revisiting the original entry in the franchise, knowing my fear would remain contained. Naturally, we have no idea what manner of pollution might be trickling downstream in any waterway (a crazy mountain-man urinating into the water, or a dead animal carcass), but at least I find comfort in the water treatment of my comfortable suburban neighborhood. I'm not usually the paranoid type, but despite the sensational (fictitious) accounts in the film, I can't help but picture a dead body floating in the reservoir that directly feeds the spigot. In all my prior wilderness outings, I shrugged off the thought of disease or infestation in the water supply, and placed far too much faith in the filtering capabilities of government run facilities.
