in a bow for you. I Enjoyed this one as much as the first, in some ways more, Sean Austin is like a little gift that keeps on giving, and there is nothing bad that I could really say about the film, or sound work, it all really comes through. These movies live, and breathe, on the special effects, and the blood factor, and this one meets any other gore fest head on with both barrels loaded, and oozing. I totally recommend this movie to any horror fan, or any fan of really well made movies, it is not a super Hollywood WWZ kind of budget, but they do not waste what they have. Really be prepared to be grossed out to the level of a Troma film from the 80's all in a good way.

and while it isn't necessarily brilliant, it is very entertaining from a horror perspective. The story is well told even if it is painfully predictable at times especially the bachelor party on the open seas storyline. For those who enjoy the series as a whole, it seems to carry on more of the story and you find out exactly where the origin of the disease came from. The ending to me didn't make a lot of sense, I think there was supposed to be a big twist to it all and maybe if you're a fan of the series you might have got it but I missed something there but regardless it was an enjoyable, mindless, ridiculously violent and over the top excessive slasher/Zombie flick.Sean Astin is probably the most impressive part of Cabin Fever 3. He gives a genuinely stirring and forcefully disturbing performance as thee patient zero. This might be one of the best things I've ever seen Astin do. He is far better than what the film deserves but he definitely adds something to it as well. I would have preferred the film follow his character rather than the doofus typical 20 somethings. Mitch Ryan is the leader of those doofus' but he does alright as our reluctant horror hero. His character isn't given a lot to deal with but he does get more depth than anyone else and plays the role well. Brando Eaton gets a cookie cutter "stoner best friend" type character who is a lot of fun and really gets some messed up disturbing scenes. He is probably a little better than Ryan but his character is better too. Ryan Donowho is barely existent as just another friend there to be fodder for the zombie outbreak and Jillian Murray who is there early on to be a "hot" girl who will take her top off and to make sure there is a female character though she also has some really messed up disturbing scenes including a sickening but disturbingly creative oral sex scene and a zombie fighting scene I thought would be very memorable in the cult classic circles.The film does lack a definitive villain but then the entire concept is that the virus is the true killer. We do have a maniacal doctor and his staff trying to survive and escape the island but that plot is mostly lost in the shuffle. The film absolutely goes for sheer shock value but does so fairly well and as disgusting and outrageous as some of the scenes and gore is...I thought it worked quite well. Maybe I've watched too many terrible horror films and my expectations have shrunk. Certainly Kaare Andrews doesn't have a lot of experience yet but he definitely shows some promise. The story and script is solid but I would have really liked it if they had spent more time developing the characters of the friends at the party. Yes they are supposed to be the stereotypical young party animals who get picked off but there was potential to actually care about them. There was very little chemistry between any of them and yet we were supposed to buy them as life long childhood friends. Cabin Fever 3 isn't brilliant. Don't mistake my 8/10 as implying that. For sheer entertainment, shock value and a crazy campy gory horror flick it succeeded quite well and was heads and tails above similar low budget crap. I enjoyed myself and won't soon forget some of the more shocking scenes. 8/10

acting like humans and start doing weird zombie moves breathing heavy and arching their backs and rolling their shoulders while moving their tongues around which seemed weird because up until a minute ago they were normal humans, and I've never seen a human do that during a fight. Then again, if I just had the skin pulled off my arms I don't think I'd have the strength to fight, so I guess at that point realism wasn't the goal. Also, for a containment lab, they had a really lax security system. The guys lift up a metal thing over the window and then just break the window and walk right in. They're on an island, but I still think they'd probably have a fence, or at least an alarm, especially since the lab was on lock-down. Later we see that breaking the window wasn't even necessary, one of the guys presses a button on a keypad and the door just opens. The other thing that bothered me is the way infected bodies were just left on the island they take care of the lab, but leaving bodies to rot on land would do as much damage as leaving an infected lab, especially since the movie made it clear the virus spreads from humans to rodents to fish without ever having to mutate. But besides that stuff, I really liked the movie. The actors were good, and I like that Sean Astin was in it, and was the carrier. Somewhere in my head I would like to think maybe he crossed movies, and gave Rider Strong the virus when they met in Borderlands, and then Ryder didn't get tortured to death. Instead he went back home and gave it to all his friends in Cabin Fever. Obviously that's not what happened, I just liked the connection between the two actors and the fact that the other movie they were in together took place in a Spanish speaking country tourists travel to all the time. Also, it helped explain my thoughts after the first film, which is one of my all time favorite horror movies just because of how surprisingly and horribly disgusting it was, but at the same time not so over-the-top gory that it comes off as unrealistic or cheesy. I wondered where the virus came from, but I didn't expect them to ever answer that. I'm so glad they did, and I can't wait for the next one, Outbreak.
