Synopsis

Five friends cut loose after their college finals and go on holiday to a remote cabin deep in the mountains, hoping to enjoy a few days of drinking and kicking back. Marci (Cerina Vincent) and Jeff (Joey Kern) want to spend some serious quality time together; Paul's (Rider Strong) hoping to make some moves on Karen (Jordan Ladd), who he's worshipped forever, and Bert (James DeBello) just wants to drink beer and shoot squirrels.

But after a terrifying encounter with a strange local vagrant the group become increasingly paranoid they may have been infected with a horrific virus. A virus they won't even know they've caught until it is too late. As the fear of infection increases, the friends begin to turn against each other and when one of them becomes sick, the party is over....

Terrifying, original and brilliant. Eli Roth's CABIN FEVER has been compared to the horror classics of the 1970's from the likes of George Romero, John Carpenter and Wes Craven.
