31 Horror Movie Challenge - Movie #3 - Cabin Fever Patient Zero

I had been wanting to see this movie for awhile large in part is because I'm a completest and I had watched the previous 2 and I figured I would finish out the series. Another reason was because various horror sites had touted this film as a bloody gory good time mess with some great scenes of carnage. Well after viewing this film you can't believe everything you read. This installment finds a group of friends on a bachelor party outing who charter a boat for fun at sea to which they detour to an isolated island which of course has a flesh eating virus in the water and horror clique insanity ensues. I feel the only way I can sum up this film is as if Wyatt and Gary from Weird Science went on a Scooby adventure where everyone has flesh eating virus and those people puke on your face. The characters were the typical cookie cutter horror clique of lead guy getting ready to get married to a girl that is way way out of his league, his nice friend, his douchebag friend and a slutty girl. One of my biggest pet peeves is that Sean Astin, who could possible hold the key to this outbreak just seems out of place through the whole movie. There are several times when I thought to myself "why is he in this movie?" The acting was standard and the special effects ranged from pretty good to pretty awful. Even with saying that it wasn't a completely terrible movie, but it really wasn't that good either. It's a rather typical installment to this series and bottom line it's a movie to pass the time but don't expect greatness.

This film is available on Netflix
