Cabin Fever #1 and #2

"Cabin Fever" caused me to have a nightmare where all my skin was falling off.  It is a really good movie, though.  If I didn't have such a strong constitution it would have had me covering my eyes during a few scenes.



From Wiki:

Cabin Fever is a 2002 American horror comedy film about a group of college graduates who rent a cabin in the woods and begin to fall victim to a flesh-eating virus. The film was the directing debut of filmmaker Eli Roth, who co-wrote the film with Randy Pearlstein. The inspiration for the film's story came from a real life experience during a trip to Iceland when Roth developed a skin infection.[2][3] The film's title is a double entendre, referring both to thephenomenon, which is seen in the declining of the student's friendships, and also to the illness spreading through the cabin, although fever is not one of the disease's symptoms.
Roth wanted the style of his film to make a departure from many modern horror films that had been released in recent years.[3] One modern horror film, The Blair Witch Project, did inspire Roth to use the internet to help promote the film during its production and help gain interest towards its distribution.[2] The film itself, however, draws from many of Roth's favorite horror films, such as The Evil DeadThe Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Last House on the Left.[2][3] Roth was tired of what he called the "watered down PG-13" horror films of the studios, and refused to compromise on the violence or nudity, saying they were essential ingredients to an '80s-style horror film.


Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever was not as good as the first one, but watch it for the animation.  I honestly enjoyed that.



From Wiki:

A very disfigured Paul escapes from the creek and wanders through the woods, leaving pieces of his own flesh in the way. When he finally makes it to the highway, his body explodes when he is hit by a school bus. His remains are checked by Winston, the local policeman from the previous film. Winston assures the shocked bus driver that he had hit a moose.
The creek Paul was lying in was connected to a bottled-water company and the infected water was distributed to the local high school.
John, a senior at the high school, is deciding whether to go to prom with his long-time crush Cassie or stay home. His friend Alex is against going until he hooks up with a girl named Liz. She then says if she can get off work that night, she'll meet him there.
