💥 Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever Reviews

Personal Review

Okay, so I went into this knowing it’s kinda infamous. Honestly, it’s a mess, but a fascinating one. The gore is cranked up to eleven, and there are moments where you just have to laugh at the sheer absurdity. While it’s nowhere near as good as I’d hoped, there’s a certain guilty pleasure in watching the chaos unfold at the prom. The opening animation was kinda cool, and while the acting is… questionable, it’s watchable. Overall, the movie is okay but not great.

Professional Reviews

• Bloody Disgusting: “While aiming for over-the-top gore and dark humor, ‘Cabin Fever 2’ misses the mark. It sacrifices coherent storytelling for cheap shock value, resulting in a messy and ultimately unsatisfying experience. The practical effects are decent, but can’t save the film from its nonsensical plot.
• Liberal Dead: “Despite production issues and director disowning it, Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever spreads the infection from a cabin in the woods, to a nearby high-school prom. With a solid performance by all players involved, some superbly fitting music, and well done gross-out effects, Cabin Fever 2 is a worthy watch for anyone into indie splatter comedies.
• DVD Fanatic: “Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever loses anything it has going for it within minutes of introducing the plot. Outside of some stellar makeup effects, the film just feels like a bad parody and ripoff of much better works. The film is a disappointment, even for a direct-to-DVD movie.

Audience Reactions

The over-the-top gore and practical effects were praised by those who enjoyed the film.: Those who liked it, loved the over-the-top gore and moments of dark humor.

Some viewers found the film entertaining despite its flaws, praising its campy nature.: Many agreed that the film was okay if the viewer just wanted a bloody movie

Overall Consensus: Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever is a gory and divisive sequel that is praised for gore and panned for poor writing.
