is fucking great. Go see it. S'a horror flick, takes plot elements from some other great horror flix, like Night of the Living Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and throws em together pretty smartly and in what's got to be the best structured horror flick I've seen in some time. When it seems all over, it's really not. I mean, horror films go along in a pretty set structure, but this one doesn't - just when you think you're heading through the end of the flick, you get a great Shining reference (and, for once, it's not a creepy psycho kid! Woo hoo!) and it keeps on going like a fuckin champion.

It's very, very funny, the characters have some really good dialogue. The best dude is probably the asshole jock guy, who goes out to the cabin with his friends, and then takes out a rifle, explaining that he's going to shoot squirrels. Why? "Because they're gay." When the others object that this makes no sense, he replies, "Look, gay or straight - it doesn't matter to me. I'm still going to annihiliate the motherfuckers." This movie is funny enough to be worth seeing as a comedy, but please do stay for the horror movie parts, which, while pretty gruesome, are quite good themselves.

28 Days Later was an exercise in counting horror movie references. Cabin Fever is probably even more derivative, but so fucking funny and inventive it's a delight to spot em. Go see it, it's great.
