Cabin Fever (2002 ; 93 brain eaters) : This is one of my favorite new school horror movies. It seems as technology advances horror movies get weaker but there are still some great ones out there. This film was written (Randy Pearlstein was the other writer) and directed by Eli Roth and it was a great start for him. The inspiration for the film's story came from a real life experience during a trip to Iceland when Eli developed a skin virus. He kept the feeling of classic horror with lots of cheese, violence, gore and nudity. Five friends: Marcy (Cerina Vincent), Bert (James DeBello), Karen (Jordan Ladd), Paul (Rider Strong), and Jeff (Joey Kern) leave the city for a remote mountain get-way. They are renting a cabin in the hills to get away from people for a bit. But after Bert goes shooting for squirrels but instead shoots a hermit with a flesh eating disease (he got from his dog), he begs for Berts help. Bert promise him help but lies and runs back to the cabin and doesn't tell anyone. Later that night after getting doped and drunk, the hermit comes to the cabin. But the friends in panic, kill the man. But when the man dies in the reservoir and Karen drinks the water, her skin is oddly being ate away. The friends send her into a shed outside the cabin. But one by one, not knowing about the dead man in the reservoir, become infected with the disease and begin dying. the people of the small town want to put a stop to the spread of disease.
