Cabin Fever: Patient Zero

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.
