Cabin Fever - A Terrible Movie

While flipping through the local cable channels this weekend, Kayla stopped me at a movie called “Cabin Fever” and insisted that I watch it. We’d only missed the first 7 minutes so I said sure, why not?

About 25 minutes later, I actually had to get up and leave the room. There were so many plot holes and stupid scenes in this movie that I couldn’t take it anymore. Heck, the over use of the word “gay” was enough to make me shut it off. Here’s some of my favorite parts:

• During a campfire scene, a guy enters and ties his dog to a tree. Later, when leaving he whistles and the dog follows him away. How? It was still tied to a tree. This wouldn’t be so bad, however later in the movie the dog plays a crucial role. All I could think about is how this can’t be happening because that dog is still tied to that tree.
• The language. Do kids really say stuff like this? Here’s one exchange after a couple’s first kiss:
  

  Guy: “so, is this like, a date or something?”
  Girl: “Don’t be Gay”

  That doesn’t make any sense.

• The decision making is completely unrealistic. Imagine if you will that you’re standing outside of your cabin and a sick man approaches you asking for help. do you:
  a.) Call a Doctor for him.
  b.) Offer to drive him into town
  c.) Say, sorry you can’t help him
  or d.) Shoot him with a rifle, set him on fire, and run away.

  These kids chose d.

Worst. Movie. Ever.
