Cabin Fever (2002) ***1/2
Despite (or perhaps because of the) juvenile (Kevin Smith-esque) humor and despite the references to The Evil Dead (1981) [review], The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) [review], and David Lynch being a bit on the nose, I still really enjoy Eli Roth's Cabin Fever (2002).
A few of the jokes and some of the terms used wouldn't fly if the movie were made today, but there's lots of gory effects to enjoy and laughs to be had at the expense of the mostly douchey characters, and I still find myself quoting some of the dialogue from time to time.
I love a good horror comedy, and I find that this one holds up and does a good job of poking fun at genre tropes (while clearly still having an affinity for them).
