It turns out the water in the infected lake from the original Cabin Fever gets bottled and shipped out for public consumption. The water makes its way to a high school just in time for prom and causes havoc as the flesh eating virus spreads across the school like wildfire causing flesh to rot off the bone and blood to spew from the mouths, and sometimes other orifices, of its victims. Only John (Noah Segan) and Cassie (Alexi Wasser) escape uninfected, but things are about to get even worse.
The military quickly quarantines the school and begins eradicating the infected in hopes of containing the deadly virus. Now John and Cassie have to fight to escape the danger of becoming infected, as well as indiscriminate and trigger happy soldiers.
Cabin Fever 2 definitely doesn't have the same kind of creepiness as the original, but it strives to make up for this with plentiful gore. It's a veritable cringe fest as one after another gruesome scene of blood and puss spewing virus victims decomposing and just generally making a big mess of the place. Let's put it this way, you might not want to watch this one while munching on a big plate of spaghetti or a steak cooked rare.
There is a sense of humor here though. Giuseppe Andrews returns as the thoroughly ridiculous Deputy Winston whose role in the movie is pretty negligible if not for comic relief and lewd commentary. There are quite a few little chuckles thrown in throughout the film to lighten the mood a bit before showing you the next scene of someones face getting smashed in or obnoxious emo kids wang spewing bloody puss. Take for example the proms music playlist. "Somebody put something in my drink" by the Ramones... clever.
3 band-saws out of 5
Rated R for strong bloody violence and gore, disturbing gross content, sexuality/nudity and pervasive language.
Watch the Cabin Fever 2 trailer.
