Richard Roeper
... disgusting and brainless ...
Peter Howell
You've got to love a horror movie that wears its bloody influences so happily on its sleeve, and then proceeds to roll it up and start swinging the axe in a different direction.
Mark Rahner
You won't want to eat, drink or be touched after a bout of Cabin Fever.
Peter Hartlaub
Cabin Fever starts small, and stays small, never reaching the transcendent Blair Witch heights of the biggest low-budget successes.
Jay Boyar
Movies about flesh-eating viruses don't come along every day. Cabin Fever, which opens today, demonstrates why.
Bob Campbell
Like much of Cabin Fever, the performances are competent and uninteresting.

Elizabeth Weitzman
Other than a few witty jokes and a game cast, there's nothing particularly special here. Still, the nods to masters like Wes Craven and George Romero -- along with buckets of blood -- ought to thrill horror fans.
User reviews
20 Years Too Late To Be Interesting Had this been released in 1985 or so, it would be pure genius, but as it stands? Meh. Watching this movie is like watching captive chimpanzees pretend to shave like a human. Interesting for a fleeting moment, and then it is just bad actors aping what would actually be quite a terrifying experience, yet doing nonsensical things that merely advance plot points. In a post-Evil Dead moviescape, this would have worked better as an homage.

The Last Exorcism
Horror

When he arrives on the rural Louisiana farm of Louis Sweetzer, the Reverend Cotton Marcus expects to perform just another routine "exorcism" on a disturbed religious fanatic. An earnest fundamentalist, Sweetzer has contacted the charismatic preacher as a last resort, certain his teenage daughter Nell is possessed by a demon who must be exorcized before their terrifying ordeal ends in unimaginable tragedy. Buckling under the weight of his conscience after years of parting desperate believers with their money, Cotton and his crew plan to film a confessionary documentary of this, his last exorcism. But upon arriving at the already blood drenched family farm, it is soon clear that nothing could have prepared him for the true evil he encounters there. Now, too late to turn back, Reverend Marcus' own beliefs are shaken to the core when he and his crew must find a way to save Nell -- and themselves -- before it is too late.

From the master of horror Sam Raimi comes this chilling true story that's not to be missed.
