Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (2009, Ti West)


This movie starts off okay opening with Rider Strong surfacing from those bloody depths looking more mutant lagoon monster than skin disease victim but it was shot in a way that almost resembled the skill of the great Eli Roth. That quiet and naturalistic way that sets paranoia in so fast it's scary. We then see Mr. Strong stumble into the road only to get literally blown apart by a bus that should've seen him coming 45 miles away. Bah, that doesn't matter because I'm not trying to find logic in this but I had to mention it since it's when the movie completely loses all semblance of TOLERABLE. The freeze-frame blow up was almost a queue to the audience that we were in a different movie which would be all kinds of brilliant IF THIS MOVIE WAS GOOD.


From that point on, it desecends into some extremely poor man's version of Superbad mixed with a 8yr old's thought process...who happens to like terrible gore/makeup effects. It goes on and on and on and on without a hint of genius. Oh wait, there is one instance of TOO FAR that includes a pus-filled penis but that's about it. The "good" parts don't hop in until about 45 mins and it's ridiculously underwhelming. The same throw-up shots about 17 times with the occasional mannequin getting something bashed in. Let's not even talk about the sub-plot with Party Maaaaannnnnnn uncovering the water conspiracy. It's just too much.


P.S. - The world needs more terrible cartoon interludes. Right? I mean, they're really awesome.
