S.F. International Film Festival synopsis

 

Anyone else know anything/heard of this movie? Or better, anyone seen it? I'd love to, but wouldn't be able to make it to S.F. in time for the last showing tonight. Although I have to say, any film description that name-checks Rabid and I Drink Your Blood alongside standard name-checkers like Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes AND features only practical special effects is more than OK by me. And director/producer Eli Roth has not only worked with David Lynch, he's also provided commentary for at least one Troma DVD. I'm intrigued.

I've heard it's supposed to be really good but haven't seen it myself. From what I've read, this movie sounds like the House of 1000 Corpses we THOUGHT we'd get. A good old school horror movie that's more tribute and less rip off. Luckily this one isn't get that kind of hype thrown on it to raise expectations so high.

Have you heard if it's going to achieve nationwide distribution at some point or if it's just going to be another indie festival wonder that'll eventually hit DVD?

Well....guess who....Lions Gate picked it up so they'll probably put it out. I was just reading a Premiere magazine feature about the 10 best upcoming horror movies for 2003 and it was one of them. I figure if they're featuring it alongside other theater movies such as Dreamcatcher, Willard, 1000 Corpses, Freddy vs Jason, Jeepers Creepers 2, THe Exorcist prequel, Cursed, Underworld and the TCM remake, then it's probably going to theaters too.

Trailer for Cabin Fever is now up here....

If I had to judge the movie on this trailer alone, I don't think I'd see it. It's friggin goofy and stupid. But, it's only a 46 second teaser. Hopefully the full one will actually have some sort of sense to it. This trailer reminds me of Harmony Korine's BS movies and that ain't a good thing.

 

Movie will be in theaters Sep 12th.
