Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (2009)
Last night was fun. Cabin Fever … campers, in the woods, horror, etc. Tonight. Ummm … not so much! Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever, is a follow-up to 2002’s Cabin Fever by Eli Roth. This movie is directed by T.I. West – and apparently even he tried to disown it. It has the same contaminated water from Cabin Fever, the same goofy deputy, and the water carries a virus. The similarities stop there. This one was not clever, wasn’t enjoyable and not worth your time to watch it.
It’s a high school, they are having a prom. The school gets a shipment of Down Home Water, the water company who pumps water from Cabin Fever 1’s lake. The kids get to the prom and someone makes punch using the bottled water. Everyone at the prom is carrying a small cup of punch and sipping it. Some people who have had the bottled water earlier in the day are ok all the way until the prom. Others who drink the punch and contaminated water shows symptoms almost immediately. It causes you to forcibly vomit blood and then die. Or lie around painfully watching all your skin swell up and ooze. Then the Feds show up and think it would be a great idea to just lock the school and go inside and shoot everyone. Even after they have chained the front doors, 15 minutes later some kids finally decide to go out the back door which isn’t locked or being watched yet. Ugh.
Like I said – pathetic.
Rated R. 87 minutes (1 hour 27 minutes). Profanity. Lots, because you know its high school kids. Some nudity, for instance topless strippers who are diseased, a couple of butts, and one guy in particular shows everything down below and – well, come to think of it, that is the horror of the movie – makes you want to wash your eyes out with clorox or something. Mostly gorey stuff blood oozing, blood flying, etc. Mercifully the entire movie is short, but not quite short enough.
