WARNING: THERE ARE POSSIBLE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW!!! With that said, first I'd like to let everyone know that the plot of this movie is all wrong. There is no cruise ship. A man is getting married and his friends decide to throw him a bachelor party by renting a boat to take them to this deserted island. Well on this deserted island, is where the infamous flesh eating disease comes in to play. It is unclear during the beginning and middle of the movie as to what is causing the disease. Whether it's the weed they are smoking or the water they swim in, but towards the end, it becomes very clear. Without giving too much away, I will say that this movie is 10 times better than the last Cabin Fever movie. The first Cabin Fever movie was a shock to the system, but the sequel, Cabin Fever: Spring Break, was such a joke. This movie, should of been the ACTUAL sequel. Cabin Fever: Patient Zero is actually a good movie. No cheap nudity, no cheap laughs. It just gets to the point of what horror actually is. And when I say horror, I don't mean that this is a scary movie, but it does have it's scares. I would totally recommend this movie to ANYONE who HATED Cabin Fever: Spring Break. If you still don't get it by the credits, stay tuned, because after the credits, the explain the whole thing.

I watched this gore-fest with little expectations after the second Cabin Fever. Even with low expectations, I was disappointed. The plot is thin, the pace is slow, the horror is limited, the characters are not interesting and most of what happens makes little to no sense once you have accepted that the disease is real. The virus reacts so differently from a person to another that it's just ridiculous how one victim gets Deadly sick within a few minutes while others take hours before having serious symptoms. The security issues around a facility of that nature are laughable at best and the people working there seem to be hired on a good-looks basis only. Sean Astin is good, but his part is small and his lines are cliché. I also had an issue with the most gruesome action scenes where I had a hard time understanding what was happening. As it's often the case in many movies, the quick cut from an angle to another to prevent us from noticing how low budget some FX are makes it difficult to comprehend what they are really doing. Lighting in some scenes is horrible too. It's still enjoyable for some horrific scenes, but overall, this is not a good movie. Cabin fever 2 was equally bad. Cabin Fever (the original movie) was campy and kind of good, even though it was by no standards great.

"Sometimes we have to harm one to save millions." A group of friends decide to throw a bachelor party for one of their own. After searching for the best place they find a secluded abandoned island that will be perfect. What starts off as a fun relaxing time turns strange when one they start to develop strange rashes on their bodies. When the rash turns into something much worse they look for anyway they can to cure what they have. When they find a building they think they found the answer, but their problems are only beginning. Once again another sequel that no one was really asking for is made. Due to the recent string of straight-to-video things like this I was obviously not expecting a whole lot from this. I'm not sure if it was because I had that attitude going in but this was actually better then I was expecting. I'm not saying this is anything amazing but it was watchable and I wasn't really bored with what I saw. The most interesting parts though were the scenes involving Sean Astin and the "back story" of the virus. When it was over my thoughts were, wow...I was expecting much worse. Take from that what you will. Overall, better then I was expecting and actually one of the better straight-to-DVD horror sequels that have come out...again take from that what you will. I give this a B-.

If you enjoyed the first Cabin Fever then you are sure to love this one!! This movie has gore, suspense, a token * and more gore! The plot of the movie is quite good! The way in which it introduces patient zero from the beginning is interesting and to see how the virus spreads is very thrilling! Once the virus spreads it's just like in the first movie, the sort of gore and blood that makes your stomach churn!! But if you can stomach it, it's definitely a fun and entertaining movie. The movie could have done without the sexy scientist who in each scene seemed to be showing more cleavage until she got her chance to strip down to her underwear. Really? What sort of scientist wears highheels and a push up bra! The downfall to this movie is that there are a few fight scenes that are a bit stupid and too far fetched! There is also a very disturbing sexual scene between 2 of the characters once the virus has spread. But then again this scene is classic cabin fever style! So if your looking for an exciting, gory and thrilling scary movie to watch then this movie is a great choice! This movie had many a "falk in the road" to keep you on the edge of your seat!

Yay, the Cabin Fever franchise continues! I guess that's what the makers of this movie were hoping horror fans would say ignoring the fact that basically no one liked the second movie, not even its director, and it's been 10 freaking years since the original and this only Pt. 3. Cabin Fever Patient Zero looks to be the cheapest entry in the series, starting with a quartet of barely likable, uninteresting young people going on a small yacht, not a cruise ship as promotional material states, and ending up stranded on a beautiful, uncharted tropical island. In the meantime, special guest star Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings, Rudy) is the father of a dead infected kid who turns out to be immune and, now, is imprisoned indefinitely in a remote government research facility located on, you guessed it, that same uncharted tropical island. Cabin Fever 3 needs something more. Made on such a low budget, this movie needed A LOT of personality to work and, sadly, it just doesn't have it. There are some down and dirty fun moments, some legitimately stomach churning, shocking gore moments with great makeup effects, but these moments are few and far between. Too much of the movie comes down to dull characters wondering around and doing stupid things that don't make much sense until they finally die. In terms of production values, this movie looks like a Sy Fy original and while it's not nearly that bad, it just isn't that good either. It's more serious in tone than either previous film, but closer in feel to the original. It lacks Pt. 1's zany, retro spirit though. Cabin Fever 3 isn't terrible. It's actually better than I thought it would be and I'm being a little charitable with my rating because I suspect it could have been better if they had a bigger budget. But they didn't, and I can say this movie is just barely worth seeing.

The first Cabin Fever was pretty good. The second, not so much. In fact I don't even remember the second one that much except that it was horrible. However what the second film lacked, this new one brings back. I will say that this film brought back the disturbing horror feel the first one had, just that it did it in so many wrong ways. The gory fight scene, something you wont quite forget, was a little too way off the top. The story line was a little confusing. It sort of reminded me of something from Resident Evil. There is not a lot of good things I can say about this film. I guess its worth a watch if your bored, but its not something you should go out of your way to see. That's just my opinion.
