Thanks for the memories!
How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.
Zero: This has to be by far the worst film I have ever seen, it completely lacks any plot or merit and I cannot say a good word about it. The effects are something out of Hammer House of horror all the gore is shown at night because its poor. There script is like they took two unfinished Horror films and cobbled them together. Please do your self a favour and do not watch it.Acting is on the amateur level, and the Dialogue is repetitive, starts poor ends poor and characters are shoehorned in during the middle of the film for padding.You have to wait till the end credits till there is very little closure to the movie.utter Garbage
I blind bought Cabin Fever 3, reasoning that it couldn't possibly be worse than part 2; I was correct in my assumption—it's EQUALLY as bad.Part three of Eli Roth's flesh-melting horror series takes place in the Dominican Republic where Marcus (Mitch Ryan) is due to marry his fiancé, but not before his brother Josh (Brando Eaton), long-time pal Dobbs (Ryan Donowho), and Josh's girlfriend Penny (stunning brunette Jillian Murray, who provides the gratuitous nudity) have given him a proper bachelor's send-off. Chartering a cruiser, they whisk Marcus off to a remote island for a night of copious amounts of beer and weed, but the party atmosphere doesn't last long: after a swim in the warm tropical waters, Penny and Josh contract a flesh-eating virus that requires serious medical attention, and so Marcus and Dobbs go looking for help at a nearby complex, where they discover the origin of the deadly virus.When Josh gives oral sex to Penny, unaware of the severity of her condition, and emerges looking like he's been in a serious road traffic accident, Cabin Fever 3 looks set to be an enjoyable dose of messy horror in the worst possible taste; but as night falls on the island, the film rapidly devolves into a largely forgettable slice of straight to DVD fodder, made all the more lacklustre by some very dark cinematography. Even the film's most outrageous scene—a fight between putrefying Penny and an equally gloopy nurse that culminates in death by giant rubber dildo—proves rather disappointing thanks to a lack of decent lighting.Co-starring Sean Astin as the titular 'patient zero', the carrier of the disease, who tries to hide his shame behind a beard.
Cabin 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.
I'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.
