	Movies - Cabin Fever

Cabin Fever (2002) is an American horror film written and directed by Eli Roth. It is a 1970s genre throwback, and pays homage to some of the most popular horror films, such as The Evil Dead
by Sam Raimi, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
original by Tobe Hooper and The Last House on the Left
by horror master Wes Craven.

Plot

Tagline: Terror...in the flesh

The plot is relatively simple. When five recent college graduates trek to a remote cabin in the woods to celebrate, they encounter a vagrant stumbling near their cabin who appears to be extremely ill. When the man attempts to steal their truck after they panic and turn him away without assistance, one of the campers accidentally lights him on fire and he runs into the woods where he eventually falls into the cabin's water supply.

When one of the friends contracts the flesh-eating bug (which shows traits very similar to Necrotizing fasciitis), they turn on one another in a desperate attempt to keep from contracting the disease themselves. As they attempt to seek outside help from the townspeople, they are thwarted by fearful bumpkins, generally incompetent authorities, and even a ferocious dog named "Dr. Mambo". The story is by Eli Roth, and was inspired by an allergic reaction he had to rotting hay during one of his trips to Iceland, which caused his face to break out in bloody sores.
