Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
wes-connors This third "Cabin Fever" opens with much confusion. Cameras and characters wobble and walk around. We see there is sickness, blood. It doesn't make much sense, but we do learn Sean Astin is the title's "Patient Zero" and may be uniquely distasteful to the movie's flesh-eating monster. Some guys have all the luck. Also note, our "Cabin" is really an island. A parallel story begins, which makes more sense. There, three buddies and a beautiful dark-haired young woman take a boat to the island. The leading man is among the boating quartet, tall blond Mitch Ryan (as Marcus). His buddies are muscular brother Brando Eaton (as Josh) and fun-loving best friend Ryan Donowho (as Dobbs). The pretty girl is Jillian Murray (as Penny). Yes, her bikini comes off quickly...The first scenes with Mr. Ryan and his friends are better than the stuff with Mr. Austin on the island, although they do not contain any special effects. While the overall story simply does not engage, the make-up and "gore" effects are a relative strength. The highlight is a knock-down, drag-out fight between two half flesh-eaten young women. The plot eventually makes more sense, but it's difficult to stay focused on the details. Eli Roth's original "Cabin Fever" (2002) struck a funny vein and worked out surprisingly well. This edition, directed by Kaare Andrews, has no comic relief. Or, more accurately, there is no humor that works like it should in a horror movie and did in the first "Cabin Fever" film. If this is the last of the series, they didn't end on a high note.*** Cabin Fever 3: Patient Zero (2/6/2014) Kaare Andrews ~ Mitch Ryan, Brando Eaton, Ryan Donowho, Sean Astin
devesh pant Cabin fever 3 I actually watched all 3 parts of cabin fever and I really think that from 3 movies this one is the second best after first part but in cabin fever first two parts are almost same story. So, in these they done something new and that are good but there is always lots of gruesomeness in the film. They always make mess of the body. So, the story stars with finding the cure for disease through immune man who is immune to this disease. In some deserted island where this disease already spreads and everyone is dead or infected. Then some people come in this deserted island for making bachelor party. Then they started get infected as they enter in the island and after that they started to find the people for help and so they find those who are experimenting on guy for finding cure. But everything started to go wrong. As the immune guy not helping the doctor try run away from there so in the end everyone dead or infected.
Michael_Elliott Cabin Fever: Patient Zero (2014) * 1/2 (out of 4) The third film in the series has a group of friends in the Dominican Republic where one of them is getting married. The day before the wedding a group of four decide to go to a secret island and relax. What they don't know is that a scientist is there doing experiments on the skin-eating virus and soon the visitors are contaminated.CABIN FEVER: PATIENT ZERO is a pretty disappointing sequel that commits the biggest sin any horror movie can and that's the fact that it's just downright boring. Neither of the previous two films were all that good but they were at least entertaining. Sadly that's not the case here as the story is fairly weak and there's really no character that you like or really want to see survive.Of course, one of the main attractions to a film like this is going to be the gore/kill scenes. The special effects here aren't nearly as impressive but for the most part they're good enough and there's quite a bit of blood puking and body parts falling off. The performances for the most part are good enough and we even have Sean Astin playing the patient zero.If you're a fan of the first two then you'll probably be curious about this one but it's best you just skip it.
David Arnold On a secret island just off the coast of the Dominican Republic, doctors in a secret lab are working on a vaccine to a deadly flesh eating disease and they seem to have found a breakthrough when they find a person who is immune to the disease. Meanwhile, a group of 4 are on a boat trip to the island as part of a bachelor party, obviously unaware of what is already there. Not before long, though, the trip starts to go sour when one of the group members starts showing signs of a mysterious virus. Remembering seeing a building on the other side of the island as they were approaching, two others go off in search for help, but when they get there, they soon realise that there isn't much time for their friends and it is now a race against time to get help.Cabin Fever: Patient Zero was actually a bit of a mixed bag for me. It was pretty campy in places, pretty predictable at times, had a few eye-rolling moments, but at the same time is actually quite an enjoyable ride. Only just though.Now, you obviously don't go into a movie like this expecting an amazing plot, and if you do, well more fool you, but it's still better than Cabin Fever 2 (which has been erased from my memory banks, thankfully). If you're a gore fan then you'll LOVE it because quite a good bit of the film is definitely not for the squeamish. There are a couple of ridiculous moments however that will leave you rolling your eyes (the way a guard gets a gun stuck in his head and a cat fight near the end), but, like I said earlier, it IS pretty campy so you'll get some campy moments.The acting, while not that bad at all, isn't fantastic, but again, you don't go into a film like this expecting Oscar-winning performances. This installment isn't too bad, like I say, and at least it's better than the 2nd one.
