I can enjoy what most people call bad movies.
I saw CF on a free college cable channel.
I still wanted my money back.
 
Yea I'm looking forward to it. I quite liked Cabin Fever and, although I can understand why some may not like it, I don't understand why there is so much hate for it. It is not a badly made film, it makes sense for the most part, and has some pretty hysterical scenes in it. It's weird certainly and has a strange plot that goes nowhere, but is very enjoyable for people that like gore and cheesy horror films.
 
I went to a screening this evening. It was really great, but nothing like Cabin Fever. It actually follows a pretty coherent storyline, and there aren't many funny moments in the second half. He takes the film and the genre seriously this time and proves that he's quite fucking talented.

I wish I could explain some of the movie to you, but knowing anything going in would probably ruin it. Just know the film involves hostels, Europe, and pretty hot women - for some length of time. There's no supernatural element, so no, no From Dusk Till Dawn-type things go down in the hostel. Just expect lots of gore, lots of sex, and frequent laughs.
 
I think its release in sort of in limbo. The producer said it was coming out soon and it is executive produced by Quentin Tarantino, but apparently the studios don't really like all of the sex and gore.
