Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Admirable film.
The acting in this movie is really good.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
The sequel to Eli Roth's "Cabin Fever" plays like a horror version of "American Pie". There's a lot of blood, but no attempt whatsoever to scare the audience: the focus is on the gross out - unfortunately for anyone who has to watch even a moment of this movie.Inexplicably, almost without exception, the actors in "Cabin Fever 2" are both uncharismatic and unattractive. They go through the motions of every high-school movie: the main guy is a sensitive dork in love with his childhood crush but she's perilously close to being snatched away by the scheming dork. Meanwhile, main guy's horny, overweight friend is trying to get laid.In this one, he has a surprising success early in the movie, which leads to the first truly disgusting part: a more attractive girl gives him oral sex in the bathroom, and then spits a suspiciously copious amount of white fluid, languidly, into the basin.Ick.There are other weird pairings, like when a marginally more attractive male student hits on an obese girl and has her strip naked for sex in the high school pool - her body starts to bleed and deteriorate upon, ahem, entry.Later, a disgruntled groundsman urinates into the punch that will be served at the high school prom... and as he does so, his stream turns red with blood, until the punch looks like pasta sauce.They students drink it anyway.Do you see what I mean about this movie being a horror version of "American Pie"?That probably could have worked, but the problem is, among other things, the movie has no jokes. It sets up its tired plot, throws the virus from the first movie in amongst it, and then just gives you cliched scenes intermixed with inexplicable revolting moments. At least in "American Pie", the gross-out came with a punchline; here it just goes through the motions, like a backward child who can only do disgusting things to get attention.
This is just one of those movies that should not be out there, although I've seen a lot worse than this but this like the movie "While she was out" that was a comedy masterpiece logic, acting and plot did not apply to that movie, so when you watch this movie you'll find the same problem. I have no idea how to describe this movie massacre but I'm going to try anyway so bare with me:It's about a school prom where a bus driver infects everyone by pissing into a bowl of alcohol, everyone gets infected, Some religious group tries to seal the school off and shooting all the students, the virus can infect by touch meaning you get somebodies else's blood onto you, your day isn't going to end well except if your in the main cast.I personally was hoping for some horror thriller but instead I got this Comedy masterpiece. Logic, acting and plot its just ridiculous.
The only good prom horror movie I can think of is Carrie, and thats the way it's gonna stay. I had no intention or interest to ever watch this film, the first one was bad, and this one looked plain stupid. Well I had a marathon of crappy movies on Net-Flix and ended up watching it. Sure it was entertaining enough, but that can't make it good. The characters were pretty much the same as any other movie about teenagers, the nerd, the jock bully, so on and so forth. The lead actress was horrible, and a bad casting choice by the director, then again that doesn't surprise me. The police officer from the first film is back, and is the best character. The gore wasn't shocking, but definitely nasty. This film is meant to be bad and it succeeds, give it a watch if your looking for crude, mildly amusing garbage.
While attempting to sort out their own melodramas, a group of teens tries to fight for their safety after a batch of water contaminated with a flesh-eating virus is accidentally delivered to their prom and starts to violently attack the party-goers.While this one's a little bit better than the original, that's not really saying much since both aren't really all that great. One of the biggest problems here is the fact that this one focuses way too much on teen drama and the social status of the group rather than the horror and there's not a whole lot of interest here in how this plays out. How the gang's issues are brought up, from the long-pined for romantic partner dating his sworn nemesis, the completely bland and annoying whining of the best friend over not having a date and what her friends are doing to get ready for the event itself as far as preparations go and how they're going to get through the evening without a fault, and none of it does anything to brighten up the pace as this just gets old rather quickly. These are so based on the typical clichés found in these films as well that there's a decided lack of interest here as well from this overly-familiar series of scenes as well as the fact that there's just way too much blandness about this section to make much of them. There's also the fact that the storyline required to get the virus there is just sloppy, as frankly far too much of the film feels like it's a coincidence merely to present its story that eventually, it all just gets tiresome trying to accept such gross stupidity and contrivance to make its point. This asks way too much to happen for this type of scenario to be plausible, and it finally starts getting too much for itself to handle in terms of getting the virus into the school for this to play out here. Add onto that the wrap-around with the animation is pretty lame and doesn't really do much to the film at all which lowers this enough over the few positive points. While there's a lot to like even here, this one could've been decent as its way bloodier than expected here as this one has some really great sequences here as the last half with the infected bleeding buckets around the school while they try to stay uninfected make for some good, and surprisingly suspenseful, times as there's a series of great chases around the hallways and into the different rooms of the school. The brutality of the shop-class encounter is a notable highlight as they try to deal with their attacker in a great brawl while again trying to keep those infected away from contaminating him, while the sheer fun of keeping the few stragglers loose in the hallways from getting into the library is another rather fun and enjoyable scene. The last big plus found here is that big, infected mess found in the prom sequence and the resulting cut-backs to show the aftermath of everything and how the following special forces handle it results in some great bloody times and becomes the highlight quite easily. These here give this one some great stuff here, but it's too flawed to be anything else.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.
