Not to be confused with the original Eli Roth project. Kaare Andrews directs this third episode, that serves as prequel to the first two. Not exactly a throw away flick; because if you like buckets of blood, slimy guts and disturbing images that are not CGI, but old-school effects proves to be a plus. A prisoner named Porter (Sean Astin), is segregated in a lab on an out of the way island in the Caribbean. The irritated patient tries to escape lock down and a mouse becomes infected and escapes.Trying not to spoil this; but I have to say that a group of friends have a perfectly plotted bachelor party turn into a nightmarish weekend. Rotting flesh, projectile vomiting, zombie-like survivors and even some nudity should be enough to grab and hold your attention.Also in the cast: Currie Graham, Jillian Murray, Lydia Hearst, Ryan Donowho, Claudette Lali, Brando Eaton and Mitch Ryan.

Another horror story that is gross not scary about a killer virus. The first Cabin fever movie is better and that is an awful movie. Cabin fever 2 spring fever is a better movie and this was awful. The story line in this movie is awful. The ending is awful. Do not wast your time. And do not wast your money. Do not see this movie. It is one of the worst horror movies ever made. I can not believe that man who wort The Hitcher remake from 2007 wrote this awful movie. I do not know how this got a 4.5 that is just overrating it. This movie is pooh pooh. Pooh pooh, pooh pooh. Stinky stinky pooh pooh. I do not know why people like it. I like to see real scary movie. Not ones that will just gross you out.

On a remote Caribbean island, a research facility seeks to create a cure for the Cabin Fever virus from a bloke who appears immune to it (Sean Astin, in a career-worst performance. And film). Crashing into this set-up, which is already going pear-shaped, come a bachelor party comprising likable and sensible groom-to-be Marcus, his obnoxious and annoying idiot partner Dobbs, his brother Josh, and Josh's girlfriend Penny with whom Marcus had a bit of a thing a couple of years ago, and quite why she's along I have not the faintest idea, other than to swan around in a bikini to my daughter's annoyance. Chaos ensues.This was in Poundland, and it even had one of those embossed outer slipcases, so it must be good, right? Wrong. This is perfectly dreadful. Not in every way, mind you - it is technically competent - but creatively. It is poorly written, directed and acted, and almost all of the second half is composed of that stalwart of horror movies which have running time to fill and no idea what to fill it with - yes, that's right, creeping around in unlit tunnels by torchlight, a section which is so badly executed that you're never quite sure who is creeping where and what they expect to achieve when they get there.I don't recall ever having seen a film quite so bad featuring an actor with anything similar to Mr Astin's track record.

Horror and gore: Decent acting. Good cinematography. Decent surroundings and sets. Script as can be expected from its genre, which means run of the mill "surprises", shock, and screaming, peppered with gore and ickyness.This one starts as a slow-paced guys' excursion to a tropical island, and, via some nasty flesh-eating virus infection, ends up as an unintentionally comic splatter movie, which at points reminded me of Braindead, though it is nowhere up that the standards of that classic. Not much more to be said without spoiling the experience. It's still good entertainment, though. Worth watching on a night with the guys, though at all not memorable.
