Cabin Fever

Cabin Fever (2003) is the debut feature from director Eli Roth, available to watch online on iFILM. Five college friends rent an isolated cabin in the woods for a post-exam break. The mood turns quickly when a stranger staggers out of the trees — his skin visibly rotting — and begs for their help.

They drive him off. They do not yet know he has already contaminated the local water supply. A flesh-eating virus begins moving through the group, and the real tension comes not from monsters but from the growing suspicion that any of them could be next. The cast includes Rider Strong, Cerina Vincent, and Giuseppe Andrews, with Roth himself in a supporting role.

Shot for around three million dollars, Cabin Fever became a cult item on the horror circuit, praised for letting dread build quietly before things fall apart all at once. It is a fairly nasty little film — which is exactly what Roth intended. Stream Cabin Fever (2003) online on iFILM.
