3.0 out of 5 stars
Not horrible, but nothing special,
By N. Durham "Big Evil" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (DVD)
I admittedly wasn't too fond of the original Cabin Fever, and with all the news of production problems that plagued this Eli Roth-less sequel, plus with all the time it spent on Lions Gate's shelf, it's a wonder how Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever didn't turn out to be a steaming train wreck. Instead, what we get here instead is a film that feels as if it's half-finished, and for all rights and purposes, it is. Ti West helms the film, which picks up shortly after the events of the first film, with that same flesh eating virus wrecking havoc upon high school kids at prom. Where the film shines is surprisingly with these high school/teen conventions, which West manages to handle with actual care, just as he did with his excellent recent film The House of the Devil. And oh yeah, there is a heaping amount of gore and sick gross out moments to be had as well. If you're a gorehound, you'll be happy with what all you find here. Where the film fails however is thanks to its ending, or rather lack there of. West had many disagreements with the producers, leading to an ending that truly has been assembled without the man's approval. Still though, there's enough here to recommend Cabin Fever 2 if you have the stomach for it: the animated segments are nicely done, there's a great soundtrack, Giuseppe Andrews returns as the party loving cop Winston (as does Rider Strong in an incredibly brief, but oh so memorable, turn of events in the film's opening), and as said before, there is a heaping amount of gore and just plain disgusting moments. If any of that sounds appealing to you, by all means check out Cabin Fever 2.

Cabin Fever 2,
This review is from: Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (DVD)
CABIN FEVER 2 first broke Horror news with a number of controversies prior to the film's release. Ti West, director of the cult favorite HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, disassociated himself with the project, citing numerous difficulties in the production process. Anyone that has seen the final product can understand why, but this straight-to-video sequel isn't the complete disaster it has been made out to be. Students at the local high school are in for a big surprise when the flesh-eating virus from the previous film finds its way into the prom care of a case of infected spring water. Though the teen-edgy script is wholly idiotic, it is equally entertaining with its low-brow humor and gooey gross-outs. Even the stock characters and empty plotting are outweighed by the exploding bodies, projectile vomit, bloody water sports, and countless other repulsive gags. Following Roth's lead, Ti West also includes a number of references to genre classics, most noticeably in the reprisal of the PROM NIGHT theme on the dance floor. Despite its harsh criticism, CABIN FEVER 2 is a surprisingly enjoyable if not utterly stupid shocker.

Terrible sequel!,
By
This review is from: Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (DVD)
After the events of part 1, it seems that the disease is contaminated in the water near a backwoods river thus being delivered to a bottle water company. It's being sent to a high school prom where they will party down but when they drink the water, the school becomes a ground for contamination as a few surviving students who aren't infected must try to stay alive to get out of the quarantined building. Terrible sequel to Eli Roth's underrated debut horror movie, directed by the guy who did "House of Devils" Ti west is a major turkey. The production values, some of the make-up, unlikable character, dismal performances and everything that lost the charm of the original movie is gone in this one. The DVD has an unrated cut of this movie with only extras being commentary, featurette and trailers to other lionsgate releases.
