Spoilers
to me the deer was supposed to look fake, him falling into the reservoir and jeffs death were supposed to be obvious. the movie does not really take itself to seriously, and much of it is a satire on these types of horror films. i like the fact that there is a bunch of unanswered stuff. they are not plot holes, they are just things in there to be absurd. i dont understand why everything needs to be spelled out for peopel and i do appreciate it when a film will purposfully put in dead end narraitves and plot devices to confound people. its my kind of humor.

A total ripoff of "Night of the Living Dead!!!"

me thinks this was intentional. hell the whole ending was a shot at the absolute predictability and rediculousness of most horror films dragged out and blown out of proportion to an absurd level. hell there was even that absurdly stupid joke from the first reel tied up.

Saw it yesterday.. I liked it. Alot of it is pretty hysterical, intentionally I believe.
|
Yes, it is intentional. Cabin Fever is a horror film spoof with some shocks thrown in to live-up to the billing. I don't think Lion's Gate has promoted the film this way and that's too bad though word-of-mouth has already made it profitable. I saw the film tonight and was extremely pleased with the result.

As for the gore........any one who has seen "Day of the Dead" knows what can be done with good gore effects. The gore effects in "Cabin Fever" were lacking in every which way.
|
The film was made for about $250k using film school buddies and other people who wanted to help out for next to nothing. There wasn't a lot of money for special effects. I didn't mind it at all as the whole thing is fairly tongue-in-cheek as it is.

Someone please spoiler me the scene after the credits. The yahoo at my theater stopped the movie just when the scene was about to begin. I hate sitting through credits so it's even worse for me not to get the payoff.

I just saw it today and I really liked it. Sure, it took a while to get to the real meat of what the story was going towards, but that (IMO) made the payoff more worth it. I also really liked the style it was shot in (very 70s/80s horror film style) and the oddities of the storyline.

Speaking of horror film homages, did anyone else notice the "shemp" credits at the end? A great tip-of-the-hat to Raimi.

I guess my letdown with this film is that I was really, really hoping for a true to the genre, gore filled, honest to goodness horror film. I am so sick of all the parodies that have gone on in the genre the last couple of years. I think it started for me when I went to see "Army of Darkness." I was so disappointed and actually felt betrayed that the filmmaker had turned the "Evil Dead" series into a bad joke. That is basically why I detested "House of 1000 Corpses" so much. I waited so long for both these movies to come out, and with high anticipation, that after seeing them I felt cheated. Oh well, such is life.  |

Chuck,
Those were basically my sentiments as well. Felt cheated with no actual stabbings shown. It really bothers me the way the stabbings, and other gorey delights couldn't have been shown on camera.
Bring back the classics.

Does a screwdriver to the head not count as a stabbing? |
