You've got to love a horror movie that wears its bloody influences so happily on its sleeve, and then proceeds to roll it up and start swinging the axe in a different direction.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

You won't want to eat, drink or be touched after a bout of Cabin Fever.
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times
Rotten
Cabin Fever starts small, and stays small, never reaching the transcendent Blair Witch heights of the biggest low-budget successes.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Movies about flesh-eating viruses don't come along every day. Cabin Fever, which opens today, demonstrates why.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
