Cabin Fever

[shanmonster]

So last night I watched Cabin Fever, and I think my life is the smaller for it. The movie is a pretty lame paean to the horror genre, with nods to such films as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Evil Dead, Cujo, The Stand, and plenty more. All the clichés are present, with sex equalling gory death, teens making foolish decisions, and rednecks going on rampages.

The movie supposed to be a dark comedy, but I didn't find it to be terribly funny. There were a couple of parts that did get me, though. The kid that plays Dennis, the boy who bites, rocks out. In the DVD extras, he really shows his stuff when he does a highly energetic, head-banging, kung fu staff-handling routine. The DVD is worth watching for this scene alone.

Literally.

I wouldn't bother watching the movie itself--just the Dennis "pancakes" scene.

How funny. Someone else on my friends list bashed it this week too. It's also funny that I rented the movie this week as well. I have yet to see it, but it is sitting on the dvd. I guess I'm going to have to resign myself to watching yet another stupid movie
