Plot:
Poor Paul is struggling to survive the events of Cabin Fever and even though he’s diseased, he manages to make his way out of the woods and onto the road. Unfortunately, he’s hit by a bus and killed. Our loyal cop friend Winston, makes the bus driver think he hit a moose and covers the whole thing up. Yet the bacteria filled water is already making its way around the world, or at least to neighboring towns, as a water company fills up bottles with the infected water. The water is used by a local school at its prom and of course, whacky hijinks ensue. The group of teachers and students get trapped inside the school, even as the government attempts to stop the spread of the disease.
Trivia:
Both Rider Strong and Giuseppe Andrews reprise their roles of Paul and Winston from the first movie.
Director Ti West actually asked for his name to be taken off the movie because he was so disappointed with the end result.
Thoughts:
I was excited when I heard about this movie, in part because Rider Strong, who was presumably dead at the end of the first movie, was coming back. When he died within 5-10 minutes, I had a feeling that I would end up disappointed…and I was. This movie isn’t at all what I expected. It doesn’t really fit with the original Cabin Fever and seems like it was played more for jokes, than it was for horror. The way the virus/disease spread doesn’t fit with the original and it doesn’t seem to act in the same way either. Paul’s makeup at the beginning was a little too overdone and once it started hitting others, it was almost instant. Like one girl drinks the water and in the next scene, she’s completely infected and spreading it to others. That’s one fast acting virus!
