Historia
A group of five college graduates, seeking relaxation before embarking on their professional lives, rent a remote cabin in the woods near a lake for an extended vacation. The friends include Jeff, Bert, Mike, Pacton, and Marcy. Early in their stay, they encounter local residents who appear hostile, culminating in one such resident dying from a mysterious flesh-eating virus outside their cabin door. As the group becomes increasingly isolated due to heavy snowfall, they begin to fall victim to the horrifying disease themselves. The infected friends turn aggressive, leading to paranoia and mistrust among them. Meanwhile, the local townsfolk, believing the college graduates are responsible for the deaths in their community, hunt them down with deadly intent.
Resumen
Directed by Eli Roth ('Hostel', 'Green Inferno'), 'Cabin Fever' is a seminal film in the horror genre, specifically notable for its body horror and splatter film elements. Set amidst the snowy woods and isolated lake, the movie explores themes of contagion, paranoia, and the destructive impact of fear and mistrust on interpersonal relationships. Despite lacking a significant backstory or character development, 'Cabin Fever' excels in creating an atmosphere of tension and dread, effectively utilizing its remote setting to heighten the sense of isolation and desperation among the protagonists.
