11/19/2023 0 Comments Cabin fever 3The effects of the virus are shown in graphic detail, this movie isn't for the faint of heart, and doesn'tĮven attempt to try and uncover anything remotely interesting in the human condition. The central premise of this movie however is gore, more gore, and extreme gore. Penny is pretty much down for the count early on, though she does try and seduce Marcus prior to hitting the beaches and catching the local virus. Don't get me started on Josh or Dobbs and Under pressure they naturally turn on each like rabid dogs with perhaps only Marcus redeeming himself. Don't expect to form any sort of a relationship with the four, they are all venal self-absorbed folk withoutĪny sort of really redeeming qualities. Paints here are pretty much cardboard cut outs of privileged white suburbia. On a better note director Andrews does spend some quality time developing his 20 something leads, who are pretty much meat for the grinder end of day. Unfortunately the Doctor's motivations, while highlighting his personality, gets lost in what amounts to a muddle final act. And to round out our brief discussion on the good Doctor Edwards, the dude definitely has his own agenda of self-promotion and Is taken to explore differing medical approaches. Interesting avenue to go down in more detail but Andrews drops it for what we have come to expect from a Cabin Fever movie, explicit gore. Interestingly we get someĭiffering philosophical views from the main staff members, ranging from personal survival to working to get a solution to a potential pandemic breakout. The doctor is setup asĪlmost a villain in the first couple of acts of the movie and can be directly blamed for the escape of the virus into the staff of the medical facility. But, and this is a solid but, Patient Zero byĪvoiding trying to be clever is a superior movie to the original Cabin Fever.ĭirector Kaare Andrews gets this one out of the harbour in solid style, with Porter being caught and pretty much imprisoned by the reserved Doctor Edwards. Unfortunately for the wayward viewer who has dialled into this movie director KaareĪndrews is trying a little too much to go down the gorenography road without attempting to first construct a coherent plot. Since there is a buck to be made, the third movie arrived in 2014 as a sort of prequel I guess. Marcus and Dobbs head toward a building they noted on landing on the Island in an attempt to get help and all hell breaks loose.Įli Roth broke into the spotlight with the original Cabin Fever (2002), a movie that has become a cult favourite amongst gorenography fans who need car keys rattled in theirįaces, a sequel Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (2009) naturally followed though even director Ti West was disowning this one which to be honest was a complete mess. Later Penny complains about an itch that gets steadily worse and Josh is starting to show symptoms as well. Unfortunately for our aqua adventurers all the fish are dead and decaying. Josh and Penny go snorkelling because they want to check out the reef fish, Marcus off on a rented yacht for a bachelor party which takes part on a remote Island off most maps. Marcus arrives in the Dominican Republic to marry Katia also in attendance are his brother Josh and Josh's girlfriend Penny, and Marcus' business partner Dobbs. On the bright side of Petri dish at least the outbreak is contained to a single remote Island off most maps. Naturally the virus can't be contained and breaks out amongst the Seems to be more interested in self-promotion than in actually helping humanity, Porter becomes his guinea pig. He also seems to have an affinity to mice or at least the Three Blind Mice song that gets important toward the end of the movie. Porter is a carrier of a deadly fast acting flesh Some guy, Porter, is dragged into a medical lab to be treated like basically a lab rat after his son dies from a raging disease.
