Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
VenturousArtist The third entry in the Cabin Fever franchise was undoubtedly a disgusting mistake.With the attempt to elaborate the origins of the bacterial plague that was previously unanswered in past entires, it offers an overly bloated and convoluted story with nothing special aside being absolutely disgusting. Although not as grotesque as the franchise's second entry, it continues retaining the exhausting nastiness its predecessors began.The biggest unforgivable dilemma with this film, aside from everything else, was its merged storytelling with two separate situations. These events are intended to conjoin answers but merely create further questions and flaws. Its introduction becomes the film's main subplot and had more interesting scenery than the film's main focus. Despite that, almost none of the characters are likable or tolerable, the elongated and senseless disposable scenes are immediately annoying, and the film dares to become an exciting thriller during its final act.It's absolutely revolting, stupid, and a waste of contaminated water.
David Arnold On a secret island just off the coast of the Dominican Republic, doctors in a secret lab are working on a vaccine to a deadly flesh eating disease and they seem to have found a breakthrough when they find a person who is immune to the disease. Meanwhile, a group of 4 are on a boat trip to the island as part of a bachelor party, obviously unaware of what is already there. Not before long, though, the trip starts to go sour when one of the group members starts showing signs of a mysterious virus. Remembering seeing a building on the other side of the island as they were approaching, two others go off in search for help, but when they get there, they soon realise that there isn't much time for their friends and it is now a race against time to get help.Cabin Fever: Patient Zero was actually a bit of a mixed bag for me. It was pretty campy in places, pretty predictable at times, had a few eye-rolling moments, but at the same time is actually quite an enjoyable ride. Only just though.Now, you obviously don't go into a movie like this expecting an amazing plot, and if you do, well more fool you, but it's still better than Cabin Fever 2 (which has been erased from my memory banks, thankfully). If you're a gore fan then you'll LOVE it because quite a good bit of the film is definitely not for the squeamish. There are a couple of ridiculous moments however that will leave you rolling your eyes (the way a guard gets a gun stuck in his head and a cat fight near the end), but, like I said earlier, it IS pretty campy so you'll get some campy moments.The acting, while not that bad at all, isn't fantastic, but again, you don't go into a film like this expecting Oscar-winning performances. This installment isn't too bad, like I say, and at least it's better than the 2nd one.
gavin6942 When a group of friends enjoying a bachelor cruise in the Caribbean stumble upon a research facility on a remote island, a deadly virus is unleashed. The group must find a way to survive before the flesh eating virus consumes them all.First of all, hats off to Sean Astin. While he probably could have declined a straight-to-video sequel with all the "Lord of the Rings" royalty checks, he accepted the challenge and took it head on. This role is outside what he is known for, and he gives a dark, disturbing persona that is quite impressive. Perhaps Astin is a bigger talent than given credit for? Director Kaare Andrews ("Altitude") takes the helm, and that can only be a good thing. Andrews may be better known in some circles as a comic book artist (his work on "Iron Fist" is amazing), but he is a formidable director, as well. Not that this is a truly amazing film, but given what he had to work with, the finished product is spectacular.We have the necessary gross moments, including a predictable sex scene, and a few nasty yet humorous ones (most notably a scene involving a pistol). Some of the best parts were not the gore at all, but Sean Astin's interaction with his captors. He just exudes emotion like no one else in this film.
Robert W. I am actually very surprised at the hatred of other IMDb reviewers towards this film. I mean, I certainly didn't expect it to be garnering critical praise but I had actually heard when the film released in limited screenings that people were enjoying it and impressed by it. I think I saw the first Cabin Fever years ago and I am fairly certain I never bothered with the second but I thought I would give this a go because the last horror/slasher I took a chance on blew me away (Wolf Creek 2.) Well I'm happy to say this also really surprised me. It is dark and twisted and very well shot and while it isn't necessarily brilliant, it is very entertaining from a horror perspective. The story is well told even if it is painfully predictable at times (especially the bachelor party on the open seas storyline.) For those who enjoy the series as a whole, it seems to carry on more of the story and you find out exactly where the origin of the disease came from. The ending to me didn't make a lot of sense, I think there was supposed to be a big twist to it all and maybe if you're a fan of the series you might have got it but I missed something there but regardless it was an enjoyable, mindless, ridiculously violent and over the top excessive slasher/Zombie flick.Sean Astin is probably the most impressive part of Cabin Fever 3. He gives a genuinely stirring and forcefully disturbing performance as thee patient zero. This might be one of the best things I've ever seen Astin do. He is far better than what the film deserves but he definitely adds something to it as well. I would have preferred the film follow his character rather than the doofus typical 20 somethings. Mitch Ryan is the leader of those doofus' but he does alright as our reluctant horror hero. His character isn't given a lot to deal with but he does get more depth than anyone else and plays the role well. Brando Eaton gets a cookie cutter "stoner best friend" type character who is a lot of fun and really gets some messed up disturbing scenes. He is probably a little better than Ryan but his character is better too. Ryan Donowho is barely existent as just another friend there to be fodder for the zombie outbreak and Jillian Murray who is there early on to be a "hot" girl who will take her top off and to make sure there is a female character though she also has some really messed up disturbing scenes including a sickening (but disturbingly creative) oral sex scene and a zombie fighting scene I thought would be very memorable in the cult classic circles.The film does lack a definitive villain but then the entire concept is that the virus is the true killer. We do have a maniacal doctor and his staff trying to survive and escape the island but that plot is mostly lost in the shuffle. The film absolutely goes for sheer shock value but does so fairly well and as disgusting and outrageous as some of the scenes and gore is...I thought it worked quite well. Maybe I've watched too many terrible horror films and my expectations have shrunk. Certainly Kaare Andrews doesn't have a lot of experience yet but he definitely shows some promise. The story and script is solid but I would have really liked it if they had spent more time developing the characters of the friends at the party. Yes they are supposed to be the stereotypical young party animals who get picked off but there was potential to actually care about them. There was very little chemistry between any of them and yet we were supposed to buy them as life long childhood friends. Cabin Fever 3 isn't brilliant. Don't mistake my 8/10 as implying that. For sheer entertainment, shock value and a crazy campy gory horror flick it succeeded quite well and was heads and tails above similar low budget crap. I enjoyed myself and won't soon forget some of the more shocking scenes. 8/10
