The Tragedy of Cinema Podcast is intended as a family
friendly program that by extension, strives to be inclusive to
all people, regardless of their ethnicity, gender, creed, or any
other identifying factors in this incredibly diverse world of ours.
With that said, some of the films we discuss may
contain serious subject matters or have content considered morally objectional
by today's standards. We do not intend to condone or
(00:25):
dismiss these aspects of these films, but our primary focus,
beyond what we believe are the film succeeds at some
fun facts and our personal enjoyment factors of each film.
With that said, we help you enjoy the show.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Somebody else, Well, got it.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
All right, guys, Welcome back to the Tragedy of Cinema Podcast.
I'm your host, Jimbo, and today I'm joined by my
co host.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Hey, this is Jason Bond.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
What's up. We got Bond all the way from Texas. So, Bond,
we finally got you to watch the right movie this time.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Hey, I'll have you know that Cabin in the Woods
is a great movie but essimately should be covered on
our podcast.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
But it's no Cabin Fever.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
It's no Cavin Fever, but it's good. It's worth a watch.
Speaker 7 (02:39):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
I was two thirds of the way through that movie
when I realized it was the wrong one.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
The funny thing was, You're like, hey, Cabin in the
Woods was a really good movie. I said, yeah, I'm
sure it is, but we're not covering that movie.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
So Rol, that's great. When you're done, watch Cabin Fever.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Right, So I told Bob we'll probably have to cover
that one too, just so he did waste time watching
a movie. But Bond, before we get started, Cabin Fever
is obviously a movie that takes place around a cabin
in the woods. What are some of your favorite movies
that take place around cabin in the woods. And you
can't say Cabin in the Wood?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Oh no, no, let's see Cabin in the Woods. I
would have to say the best of all time is
Evil Dead, Absolutely Evil Dead by far. I mean that's
like a handheld camera, small budget, but man, that movie
is like set the guidelines for all other like horror
movies in the woods.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Right, did you see that movie with Batista here recently?
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Yeah, what was that called? I can't remember, but that
kind of took place in like the middle of a
It's probably a house in the wood, not a cabin
in the wood. But that was a really good movie too.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Yeah, he's got like convince the others that he needs
to kill them.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Yeah, or the end of the world, the judgment day
is going to come exactly real. That's really good.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
One of my their favorite Cabin in the Woods movies
is meat.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
I was gonna say, Ernest goes to Camp, Ernest goes
to Camp.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Yeah, Meatballs. There's the Actually the worst scene in Meatballs
is the scene that's actually the Cabin in the Woods
where Bill Murray has a heart to heart talk with Woody.
And if that's like the worst scene in the movie,
it like kills the whole.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
I haven't watched Meatballs in forever, I mean neither it's great.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
We've had to put that on the list. That has
to be one we have to cover.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
I agree, we have to do meatballs in summer sequels.
If we're brave enough, we'll do meatballs too.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
So Bond, did you did you like Cavin Fever? Do
you consider this a horror movie? How would you how
would you consider this? Would you consider a comedy? Because
it is funny at times?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
It is funny at times and we'll get into it
later or like all the little tweaks and aspects of
Cavin Fever. But I think this movie pulls like all
of the classic moments of all your horror films that
puts it in one movie. It's really good about taking
every cliche from every horror movie and putting it together.
(05:04):
And I think what makes definitely consider horror. But it's
more of like your and we'll talk about eli Roth
in a little bit, but it's like an eli Roth
type horror movie where it's just grotesque. It's it's gory.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
And I think one thing that makes this movie stand
out from other horror movies is this is one of
those ones it could happen in real life. That's what
makes it scary. When you put when you put take
real world events and stuff and put it into a
movie where, oh, this could happen, Like what was it
the what was the one where they knock on the
door with the strangers.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
That stranger that totally could happen.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Yeah, all that stuff. And I mean, we don't have
to go back too many years ago when the COVID
nineteen outbreak and you know outbreak the movie came out
how many years ago? So hollywoods ahead of its time
at some of this stuff. So it's very interesting. But
enough diddle dattling. I think we should just jump right in.
Go ahead, Bond, take it away, all.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Right, we're going to be covering today. Cabin Fever. It's
a two thousand and two movie. It is considered comedy,
it's considered horror. It was co written and directed by
Eli Roth. This is actually his directorial debut, and it's
the first installment of the Cabin Fever franchise.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Yikes.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
This film stars Ryder Strong, Jordan Ladd, James Debello, Serna, Vincent,
Joey Kern, and Giuseppe Andrews. And I know you're thinking,
who who are these people? I've never heard of any
of them either, inspired by real life experience where Roth
developed a skin infection during a trip to Iceland. The
(06:41):
story follows a group of college students who read a
cabin in the woods and fall victim to an unknown
flesh eating disease. So, in a odd weird way, this
is like based on an Eli Roth true story. Yep,
that's pretty creepy. So for the plot, if we want
to get into actually what happens in the movie, this
(07:03):
movie starts off with Henry. Henry's a hermit walking through
the woods. He finds a dead dog, got this nasty
blood infection. It's gross right off the bat, you know,
and this thing you could tell. He goes in there,
he gets he touches the dog, and he gets the
dog's blood on him. So now poor Henry the hermit
(07:24):
is infected.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Right. So, like, like.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I said, this movie's full of all those little cliche
horror movie moments. In this case, we have college students
off going off into the woods by themselves.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Imagine that, Go ahead, sod imagine that. I mean, have
we not did they not ever watch Texas, Chainsaw Masak
or any of those other.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Exactly, I'm like the thirty years of Don't Go into
the woods if you're a young college student. But no,
they do it. I have to admit as a college student,
I never gathered up three or four of my friends
and said, Hey, let's go out in the middle of
nowhere and hang out in a cab.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I don't think I've ever done that.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
And what's weird about that is there's always that fifth wheel.
Do you ever notice that, Like, there's never like the
girls and the boys, the young men and the young
women in all of these they don't match up perfectly. No,
it's not three girls, three guys. It's always like in
this two girls, two guys, and an extra guy and
the odd ball. Yeah, and the joker. But anyway, we
(08:24):
jump ahead, all right, So college student Jeff, Marcy, Paul, Karen,
and Burke they head to this remote cabin to celebrate
October break.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Do you get an October break up? There? In Indianapolis
when I was a kid, I don't think we ever
got a break like that. All I remember is we
were out from Labor Day to Memorial or we went
to school Labor Dad to Memorial Day. We had the
whole summer off, and then we had like a little
Christmas break. But nowadays, they get spring break, they get
winter break, they get fall break, they get all these breaks.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Yeah, they have like two weeks off, you know, during Christmas.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
And you're like, I mean, that's good for you, bond,
you get a little extra time off.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
I can't, I can't complain. So Bert leaves. He goes
to hut some squirrels, but now he accidentally shoots and
now disfigured and bloody Henry. Despite Henry's please for aid,
Bert flees and remains silent about the incident, so he's
out there hunting. He accidentally shoots Henry. I think this
is one of the best parts of the movie. Is
(09:21):
actually the very very beginning. When they're at the campfire.
They're gathered around and this guy comes in. His name
is Grim. He's a drifter. He's got his pet dog,
and it rains. Grim leaves with his dog. The friends
go inside and wait for Grim. Henry stumbles in the
(09:42):
camp begging for help. When Burt shuts the door on
the sick hermit. He tries to steal the group's car
and he meanwhile he's sick. He's vomiting blood, and Henry
approaches Marcy and Karen, Paul accidentally sets him on fire.
Never accidentally sets somebody on fire who came to the door.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
It's so ridiculous at times.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
It comes up, It ever comes up. But I just
I'd love that scene though, because they're all gathered around
and just hanging out at the camp and you know,
and all of a sudden, he just shows up and
he's sick. And once again, like you were saying before,
it's that real life what would you do?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
So? What would you do? So? True story About two
months ago, I was, uh, I leave for work really
early in the morning, like one thirty am, and I
take my trash can out to the curb because it's
a Friday morning, and all of a sudden, this lady
walks up to me, and I'm like what. She's like,
she's got a band on from the hospital and she
(10:45):
can't really speak English to me, right. She's like, oh please,
I'm so sick. Can you take drag me over here
to my house? And you know me, I'm like, lady,
this is one thirty in the morning. You don't come
up to a man anytime at this time. And I
and say, can you help me out? Because bad things
will happen. But I was like, look, lady, I said,
I'm run She's like, please, please, I'm so sick, you know,
(11:07):
I just got out of the hospital. Please, And I said, look,
I said I can't. I said I'm running late. I
kind of lied, but I was like, I've seen too
many horror movies to even put myself in that position,
because if I'd take her into her house and her
husband or boyfriend comes out with the gun and shoots me,
and what are you doing with my girlfriend? Wife? I
was like, I'm not putting myself in that position ever.
(11:27):
So I was like I kindly just had to say no,
I'm sorry, and she kept walking on down the street.
But that's kind of scary.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Yeah, that would scare me a lot. That would I would.
I would jump out of my skin on that one.
But yeah, there's no way, no way you would ever
say sure, no problem, I'll help you out. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
You've seen way too many movies for that. You're much
smarter than that man. But so it's the same situation.
It's a real life situation. Here they are hanging out
(11:56):
the cabin. This guy shows up, he's bloody, you know,
he's sick. He's obviously sick.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
And then he coughs, like right on him, he sprays
blood all over him. No, that's not kid, so all right,
So we jump ahead. The next day, while seeking to
help fixing their truck, Jeff and Bird encounter a butcher
at least, but leave after learning that she is Henry's cousin.
(12:25):
I love her, man, she's out in the in the barn.
She's like slaughtering animals. Paul calls police Deputy Winston, who
promises to set up the tow truck. Paul tries comforting Karen,
who was upset over Henry's death, after claiming After calming
her down, Paul attempts to have sex with her, only
discover her bloody infected wound on her thigh.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
No talk about a mood killer.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I know that's terrible. That's terrible, yeah, sir. Yeah, So
that's probably another one of my favor little scenes, you know,
because as a as a teen, you know, that's got
to like haunt you. If you're if you're twenty two
years old, if you're eighteen years old and you see
this movie for the first time, that's gotta scary you, man,
(13:15):
that's gotta scary you. That's crazy. That's crazy. But before
I jump back in, let me go, let me tell
you a little bit about the movie before I totally
skipped this part.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
This movie came out September fourteenth, two thousand and two,
at least September twelve, two thousand and three here in
the United States. It's got a running time in ninety
four minutes. Right, of course, it's in English. It was
distributed by lions Gate. Now here's the really cool thing,
all right. It was made for one and a half
(13:49):
million dollars one point five million in today's money, that's
about two million dollars.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
They sold it to lions Gate for three point five million.
The box office return on this movie was thirty point
six million, two thousand two that's equal to fifty four
million dollars today got So they took a two million
(14:16):
dollar movies and made fifty four million.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Do you remember that? I think it was a Rally's commercial,
the ching the guy drive exactly exactly.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
So this was a big, big hit for Lionsgate. This
movie is the one that launched Eli Roth's career. The
reason we know who Eli roth Is today. The reason
he's able to make movies and do what he does
with Hostel and all those other movies is because of
the success of this movie. This is the reason movies
like Paranormal Activity was made. Because big studios were willing
(14:50):
to take a risk on low budget horror movies. It
opened up that opportunity to say, you know what, here's
a low budget horror movie, no stars in it, no
one big, and just to show that those kind of
movies can make a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Well, it's like if you look at the success of
the Terrifier franchise, same type of thing.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Yeah, it's in the same Yeah, it's in the same
vein if you will, right. So it's one of those
things where it's like very little investment, very investments. Now
this movie does start. I started naming like characters in
the movie without telling you who.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Say, Bond, who are these people?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I know?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Okay, I don't know who these people are. Well me either,
why are you gonna tell us? Or are we just
going to go right into the well I will? I
jumped ahead. I jumped ahead.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
I was so excited about about getting them.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
So excited talking about a wound on a girl's thigh.
You forgot all about the starstvoice.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I got a wound on a girl's thigh. It was
all over all right. So Writer Strong plays Paul Writer Strong.
He was in Boy Meets World. That's the only thing
I could find on him. He said he was a
Boy Meets World. Not much like I said. All of
these actors and actresses, don't expect much from them. They're
not really you know, real, real big. Jordan Ladd played Karen.
(16:06):
Now here's something really cool. Jordan Ladd, who played Karen
is the daughter of Cheryl Ladd. Do you know who
Cheryl Ladd is?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Okay, she was.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
She was who didn't as a kid, who didn't? All right,
So so Jordan Ladd is Sharon Ladd's daughter. She was
in movies like Never Been Kissed, and she was also
in the Quentin Tarantino movie death Proof. James Debello was
played Bert, and he was in the movie Detroit Rock City.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Which we've covered on this podcast, by the way.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Which is an amazing movie. By the way, Detroit Rock
City is amazing. That movie is so funny. Sarah Vincent
plays Marcy. Marcy was she was in The Power Rangers.
I think like She was in the Power Rangers movie
not really like the show, but like the Powers movie.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Well she has like theer do you know? I think so?
I think so.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
And then she was also in not another teen movie.
Joey Kern as Jeff was in Super Troopers. Are Henry
the Hermit that I mentioned earlier? He was in a
Thin Red Line. He also was in Frank Millerson City.
Giuseppe Andrews played Deputy Winston. He was also in Detroit
(17:24):
Rock City. There's another good reason to watch that one.
He was also Never Been Kissed, along with Jordan Ladd.
And he's the only character that comes out in Cabin
Fever too. Oh no, I know, I'm afraid of it too.
Eli Roth, the director and co writer of this movie,
plays justin. He was also the writer and director of
(17:48):
the movie Hostile and all the Hostile sequels?
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Did you Like?
Speaker 6 (17:52):
And played a role small role in Inglorious Bastards?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Did you Like? Hostele?
Speaker 6 (17:57):
No, I'm not really into those torture type tortures.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
That was a weird movie.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Man.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
That makes you not want to travel over anywhere.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Yeah, I mean, I've seen it once and that was
enough for me.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
It's I get it.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
You go and you know, it's a terrible situation, but
it's just too disturbing for me to watch more than once.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
You know.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
I think it's one of those movies that if you're
a fan of horror, you have to watch it once.
But I don't know, it's just not where those movies
that was it?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Was it that one or the second one where those
kids that you know, the one kid has like the
candy bars or bubblegum and he passes out to the
kids and they end up taking that dude's head off
and playing like soccer with it. Do you remember that? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (18:35):
I think that was the second one. Man, Yeah, that
was insane. So Eli Roth, like I mentioned before, he
co wrote this movie while he was a student at NYU.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
He and his roommate wrote this movie. Again.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Eli Roth got his start he was behind the scenes
helping the director of Howard Stern's Private Parts. Have you
seen Howard Stern's Private Part?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
I have? Okay?
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Well, he was helping out with that in nineteen ninety
five and that inspired him to write a script. And then,
of course I've mentioned before, he got a really bad
skin infection when he was working on a farm in Iceland,
and that's how he got the idea for this movie.
Let's see. Let's see all right, so let's get back
(19:21):
to our script. There's a lot of other characters in here.
There's you know, the side character, a little you know
here and there people. Oh the dog. The dog's real
name was rock yep.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Did you did you like the sheriff and the want
to be sheriff in this movie?
Speaker 6 (19:36):
I want to be sheriff in this movie.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
He was pretty funny too.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Well what about the what about the general store guy?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
The the.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Yeah, yeah, played by Robert Harris.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
That was he played a great character. And if you
wait till the end of the movie, like you watched
the you watch it and they drop some language in
here that's really looked down upon today and not really
it's wrong, okay, But if you wait till the end,
(20:10):
if you wait till the end of the movie, it's
pretty it comes back around. And it's kind of interesting
how they how they brought it back to what he
was talking about. So I just be warned if you
watch it and certain thing is a word has dropped,
just watch till the end. And I think it was
(20:30):
done for shock value. But at the end you'll see
what happens.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
I agree, I agree, that's one of the things. I mean,
we'll talk about it after. I let me, let me
finish up the plot of the movie until you kind
of whatever till everybody what the movie is about, and
then we'll kind of get into that, because that's something
else I wanted to talk about. Well, all right, so
jumping back in. Sorry about that rude interruption, but here
we go. Paul discovers Henry's body floating in the reservoir
(20:58):
and realizes that the infection is spreading throughout the water supply.
They return to the cabin, Paul finds Marcy's bloody remains
and seeing doctor Mabo feeding on the weakened Karen oh Man.
That scene, watch right, he walks in and they're like
the dogs like eating on her, and you're like, this
(21:19):
movie is not for the fate of heart. I'm just
telling you know that right now, Jimbo. This is an
advanced level horror.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
I'm telling you the girl shaving her legs scene, that's
pretty pretty grimy. Yeah, that's to me.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
Okay, if I was to square this movie down into
one scene, that's the scene. That's the scene. Here, what's
this movie about here.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I'll show you this girl shaving her legging, her skin
starts coming off.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
It's just shooting, peeling layers of skin off, and you're like,
that's not good.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
No, that's not good.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Well, a dying Bird returns to the cabin pursued by
Dennis's father and two of his companions. The Posse kills Burt,
and Paul kills all three of them. Paul looks for
Jeff and instead of finds Grim's corpse in a cave.
Paul takes the convenience stores truck and while driving, discovers
that he's infected before hitting a deer. He reunites with
(22:16):
Deputy Winston, who is parting with underage drinkers. Paul requests
a ride to the hospital, but before the group departs,
Winston's worded to kill on site several infected people on
a killing spree. So this thing just spreads like crazy.
Everyone's infected. Every What I love about it is people
get infected and they try to hide it because you
(22:39):
know how bad it's going to get. You know how
gross it's going to be and how terrible this death
is going to be, so you're hiding it from your friends.
And like we mentioned before, you saw that during COVID.
You know, you saw that during COVID, you saw people
who would be sick, and you'd kind of like cover
it up.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
The one question I have for this movie, and I
guess maybe it's the the point I think I have
a problem with, is it shows the dead guy in
the water system and it's going through the water treatment plant. Right,
if you watch this movie, it seems like the disease
goes real fast and kills them really fast, I mean
(23:19):
a matter of hours if it's in the water plant,
the water treatment thing for that whole small city. I
mean you're talking about the sheriffs, you're talking about, all
the party people, you're talking about everybody would have been infected.
And that's the kind of part that kind of threw
me off of this movie, because if it's in the
water treatment system and they're drinking water, you know, at
the sheriff station, prisoners, hospitals, whatever, it would have went
(23:40):
a lot faster than the movie let on. But I
guess you would never have a cabin fever two.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
If not, Well, here's kind of what I was thinking
with that. Just because there's a dead body near the
water treatment plant, wouldn't the water treatment process?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Well, they say, they say, a lot of your sewage
that you flush down the toilet goes through a water
treatment center and you ends up back in your falsets.
So who knows?
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Because I was thinking, Okay, so the dog, the dog's
drinking directly from the river, so he's drinking direcked. So
I can see the dog getting infected and infecting other people.
So it being spread that way. That makes sense to me.
But through the water treatment play, I'm like, you think
could get rid of most of the contampates.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
You would think that you don't know what you really
don't know what type of infection it is. I mean,
can it be done away with just a water treatment thing?
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Yeah, well no, we really don't know how the like
I guess how patient zero got started here.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Right right, And I haven't watched the second one yet,
so maybe they answer some questions in some of the
other parts of this series. I don't know, but I
mean that's true. I mean you can leave the door
open to explore that anytime he wants.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Yeah, that would be nice to see, like how it
all got started.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
But I do I do love.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
The fact that it's spreads so quickly because it's one
of those things that it can't be stopped once it's
spread out. Now it's like two people, four people, eight people.
It just keeps growing and growing, growing, and it's not
a good depth. The worst part to me was when
they locked Karen.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Up in the heart breaking.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Oh man, that's just bad. And that's just that's the
hardest part.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
But what would you do? What are you what are
you going to do? I mean, can you can you
imagine if it was your wife and you you know,
you know she's infected. Hey, I'm gonna take you out
here to this shit, and you know we're gonna put
the lock on the door.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Let me ask you this. When somebody has the flu,
or somebody in your home is really really sick, what
do you do with them?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
I stay away from them.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
You stay away from right. You put them in a
bedroom or something and you close the door and no
one's allowed to go in there except one person maybe, But.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
You don't change the door shut.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
That's because the person's not trying to get out.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Yeah, exactly, So why would they have to change the
door because they know that that once that infection takes over.
I mean, if you remember the dog, he was very aggressive,
so I think they know that she'll be aggressive once
the full transformation takes place. I think so.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
But yeah, you isolate you have to isolate him, and
so that's all they were doing. They were they would
keep themselves safe. So here's the way it finishes out right.
The next Jay Jeff, he's been hiding out, he's been
drinking in the woods. He returns to the cabin. Initially,
he's crying because he sees the remains of all of
his friends.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Everybody.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
It's gotten everybody. He becomes a static upon realizing that
he survived, he did it. He raises his arm in
victory and as he does, boom killed by the local police.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
It reminds me of the Great the Great Night of
the Living Dead.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Mm hmmm, exactly are is that the way that movie
The Fog ended too? Something similar to that.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
I love the Fog that is favored all time horror movie.
But I don't think it was the Fog. I think
you're thinking of the Mists there. Yeah, where they come
to the stop sign and you know, he kills all
his family and then the military shows up like that,
you're rescued and.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
You're like, oh, that's right, that's what I was thinking of.
The mist an excellent movie. So he shows up, he's devastated.
All his friends have died. But then he's like, yes,
I did it, I survived, I beat this virus.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I win.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I win.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
And he go out and get shot by the sheriff
so local police, and then they just stack him up
with the remains of everybody else. Right, The very last
scene has two kids. They get water from the lake
for their lemonade. Stand you not realizing that a barely
alive palm is in the lake and has contamidated the water.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
And I do believe THEFF.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Deputy exactly by a glass of lemonade.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Hilarious.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
That's awesome. So that that's the movie. That's the movie,
Cavin Fever, not Cavin in the Woods, Kevin Fever.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Hey, did it win any awards?
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Bond, I don't see any awards. I couldn't find anything.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
It did in your heart, though, didn't it it did
in your heart?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
So let's go ahead and doesn't say that they won
any awards.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
All right, We'll go in and talk a little bit
about the trivia of this movie. There's a just a
few things so, while filming a particularly bloody scene, right
or Strong decided to go for a walk in the
woods between setups. He was covered head to toe and blood,
but he happened upon a group of thirty five schoolgirls
who were on a film trip. The girl screamed at
the side of the blood drenched hiker, and then screamed
(28:48):
even louder when they realized the hiker was the star
of Boy Meets World, so the fandom took over. The
girls chased him throughout the woods. He eventually made it
back to the film crew avowed never to wander off
between sets again or scenes again. Can you imagine it?
I mean, you hear that often about people staying in
costume because it would take so long to put that
(29:10):
makeup on him that they would go eat, like at
the Warner Brothers studios, they would go eat at the
cafeteria or whatever, and people would be like, what's he doing?
You know, but they don't realize it takes hours to
put some of that makeup on, or it used to.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Well that's a famous story when they were filming Planet
of the Apes. Yep, that's I mean, it would take
hours and hours and hours to put the you know
to put the makeup on.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Well, even when when they went to lunch.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
It was funny because like the orangue tanks would eat
with the orangue tangs and the chimpanzees would eat with
the chimpanzees.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
But don't forget even was it doctor isaais went on?
Was it Johnny Carson? And he was still in his
full costume.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Full costume on right. I remember one I think I
forgot who it was. One of the actors I think
is Rody mcdell. He was driving home and he was
driving home still in makeup, and people saw him like
at a stop light. Yep, you know up great, So
I understand it takes hours. So if you're going to
cover somebody with blood and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
So crewmember Robert Jones took home the decapitated body prop
once the film wrapped, and was pulled over while driving
home by police officers at gunpoint, who thought the corpse
in the passenger seat was real. The police held Jones
at gunpoint until they were able to confirm the lifelike
body was only a prop. Can you imagine be what
number one? Number one? Why would you have it in
the passenger seat? With no ahead. Would you put it
(30:27):
like you on the car pool lane, Oh, the high
speed path.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Yeah, you get the high speed paths, you get, you
get the carpool lane. If you got somebody in the
pastors seat.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
I mean, if I was going to be in a movie,
I would take a prop to I mean, just the
way it is. Yeah, uh, director, you know Eli Roth,
he got this idelita. But you know when you said
farm in Iceland, people are like, man, that's kind of
weird having a farm in Iceland. But it was a
horse farm, so that's where he got that infection.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Sound mixer John Neff survived the real flesh eating bacterium,
which he contracted in a hospital during minor surgery. It
took thirteen days of NonStop intensive care medical attention to
save his life. He maintains that the makeup in this
film is one hundred percent accurate. Thirteen days and intensive
(31:21):
care just to save his life. You know you've heard
about down there in the South America, like in the Amazon,
where if you relieve yourself in the Amazon and that bacteria,
that that thing could swim up your pea stream and
you know, get you that way.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Watch watch out for the little Fish.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Yeah, forget that man. Peter Jackson actually stopped production on
Lord of the Rings The Return of the King three
times to screen this movie for his entire crew. Jackson
was so enthusiastic about the film he gave director Eli
Roth publicity quotes. So Peter Jackson does love this. So
during her sex scene with writer or Strong, eli Roth
(32:02):
wanted Serena Vincent to be completely naked, but Vincent, who
had previously played a student who never wore clothes in
Not Another Teen movie, was concerned that overexposing herself would
lead to her being typecast as a nude scene chick
and refused to bear her rear in cabin Fever. The
standoff between the director and actress became so intense that
Vincent informed Roth that he truly wanted a nicked button
(32:25):
the scene, he would have to get another actress to
play the role of Marcy. Eventually, the two hammered out
a compromise. Vincent would show one inch of her butt
on film, no more, no less. When the scene was
set to be filmed, Roth bought a ruler and literally
measured one inch of Vincent's butt. Crack bed sheets were
then taped to Vincent's butt at the designated level before
(32:48):
the sex scene was shot. Ironically, Vincent later volunteered to
bear or breaston a scene that didn't call for them.
During the bathroom scene where she discovers the rashes on
her back, the script had her wearing a robe when
she lowered she and she turned her back to the mirror,
but Vincent thought this scenario was too unrealistic and volunteered
to do it topless. She wouldn't do another nude scene
(33:09):
in the movie until the short film Manchild in two
thousand and seven, where she was totally nude during a
skinny dipping scene. Isn't that crazy? Don't you don't want
to show your bud? But hey, I'll go topless because hey,
it doesn't look natural.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Hey, so what'd you do it? Which did it work today?
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Jimbo?
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Well, I had to.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Tapo bet sheet to my butt.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Ye, it's like ruler guy, come here.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
I'm reminded of that movie. I think it was Swordfish
with Halle Berry and she's They said, hey, we want
you to do this topless. She said, I'm not gonna.
They said, we'll give you like three million dollars. She said, okay,
really so exactly.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
That's funny. It's like, okay, one inch, but one inch only.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
This movie had the lowest budget of any Lionsgate film
released in two thousand and three one point five million,
and was their highest grossing film of twenty and three
twenty two million dollar box office. It was also the
most profitable horror film released in two thousand and three.
Saul in two thousand and four, another horror film released
by Lionsgate, would beat this film's record the following year
in two thousand and four for highest grossing film over
(34:10):
a similar low budget, grossing over one hundred million dollars
with a budget of one point two millions. So another
another shout out to Lionsgate for the Sault franchise's those
are some pretty good movies, too true that the audition
scene the producers chose for actress who wanted to play
Marsie was her notorious It's Like being on a Plane scene,
which Marsie compares her dire situation to being on a
(34:31):
plane doomed to crash. This was an unfortunate choice on
the part of the producers, as was the schedule date
for the auditions. Can you guess September eleventh, two thousand
and one. The producers made efforts to call off the auditions,
but due to the general chaos gripping the US that day,
they found it impossible to contact many of the actresses
before their scheduled audition time. Consequently, the auditions went ahead
(34:54):
as plan, and Serena Vince's portrayal of this scene won
her the role of Marci. So Man talk about bad time,
and I do believe it wasn't that the original Spider
Man with Toby maguire. I think they had scenes that
were had the twin towers in the background too, and yeah,
to take.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
Those right, and even like the original Spider Man the
movie poster, yeah had him with on the twin towers
and a web between the two towers. Yep, they had
like changed all up.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
Director of photography Scott Kevin is visible in the rearview
mirror in the truck when the kids are driving to
the cabin. Director Eli Roth noticed this in the editing
room and kept it in so Scott would be in
the movie because he has appeared in all of his
movies that he had shot. So he's like, oh, we'll
just leave him in there.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
That counts that counts.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
Out of the three hundred and forty seven films shown
at the two thousand and two Toronto International Film Festival,
Cabin Fever was screen last and became the highest selling
movie at the festival. Nearly all of the nine studios
who engaged in a bidding war had passed on the
movie at the script stage, the exception being the eventual winner, Lionsgate,
which was not in existence when the s was first written. So, wow,
(36:02):
that's cool, the original.
Speaker 6 (36:03):
Imagine the world with that, lions Gate.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
That's pretty co man, No, it's pretty They put out
some pretty good stuff, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
So this, this movie is like the movie that built
lions Gate, built all of these things, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Absolutely. The original Killer Dog Jake was hired without a
rehearsal and sight unseen because Eli Roth loved the idea
of using the dog and the Patrick Swayzey movie Black
Dog from nineteen ninety eight, and there'd be and thereby
being only two degrees from Swayze. The problem was the
dog was by then four years older, arthritic and are
(36:37):
and tired after a full day of shooting, and if
all the few second bits were spliced expertly together. They
had only about a minute or so of unused or
used usage footage, so they could only use a small
amount of film. All the dog scenes had to be
reshot with a new dog. With no time or money
to find a replacement, what did they do. The producers
(36:59):
cast a real police tac dog that was so vicious
and unpredictable no actors could appear with it on camera.
The crew would hide behind the trucks during its scenes,
and cameras were operated by remote control. So this has
been a bad jose of a dog. You ever you ever.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
See one of those actors?
Speaker 5 (37:15):
You ever see one of those dogs in actions? Yo?
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Yeah, you don'tt to mess with it.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
When I was at a when I was at a
warehouse and somebody and I was a supervisor, and one
of the cars got broken into. I called the police
and this canine unit showed up. The dog got out,
you know, friendly dog. I mean, you know, he's like,
you want to pat him? I was like yeah, So
I petted him. I was like, he said, and I
watch this and he said this secret word. I don't
know what it is. What he said, he said this
secret word. That thing gridded its teeth and went into
(37:42):
full voracious mode. Man, I mean it was scary.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
So yeah, they dress you up like the State puff
marshmallow man.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
If you want to just go out there and boom
if you want, if if you want to take your
shot with a canine unit, I don't because I've seen
them in action and they will tear you up.
Speaker 6 (37:58):
And they're trained to like hold onto you and.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
Until that word is said exactly. So yeah, not for me.
Joey Kern was rushed to the hospital four separate times
for different eye injuries. This guy wasn't having a very
good day. His injuries disrupted the filming schedule, and many
scenes that were shot to be shot later were scheduled
at the last minute so that minimal shooting time would
be lost while Kern recovered. This resulted in numerous supposedly
(38:24):
daytime scenes, mainly the ones inside the Kevin, being shot
in the middle of the night when Marcy sleeps with Paul.
It wasn't meant to be seened so sudden. The scenes
that were filmed but not included in the final movie
show Marcy and Paul becoming closer than it happened because
it was just like bending them, Let's go. As the
film progresses, the light levels become increasingly darker. I will
(38:44):
say that it's kind of a dark movie. It's hard
to make out at times, but this is partially by
design and partially due to circumstance and some scenes the
film's color correction and under exposure is deliberately darkened. But
when Joey Kern was injured on set, it caused many
of the on flight changes for the scoot shooting schedule.
As a result, many of the scenes that take place
(39:04):
inside the cabin on the last as, such as Serena
Vinces's leg shaving and sex scenes was Right or Strong
were actually filmed in the middle of the night. The
light from the windows is all artificial, which makes it
dimmer than genuine sunlight and hints makes the scene look darker.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Interesting, I like it.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
The awkwardness during the impromptu sex scene between Cirin Vincent
and Right Strong drew from the genuine awkwardness between the
two actors at the time, particularly their involuntary bodily responses
to the action. Strong reportedly said de Vinza while the
scene was being filmed that it was very unsexy. This
character seems to have the exact same sentiment. Oh man,
(39:42):
that's one thing you don't want to hear with your
acting career.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
Uh Jordan's Oh yeah, it wasn't that sexy.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
Very unsexy. Very Jordan Lad's distress during her final faceless
scene was genuine, as she had just moments earlier seen
herself with a gruesome mask on in a mirror for
the first time, and the site reportedly drove her to tears.
Looked pretty ugly, pretty rough. A lions Game Film bought
this movie for an undisclosed sum in the high seven figures,
(40:13):
with an eight figure commitment to prints and advertising. It's
the most money Lionsgate has ever spent acquiring a motion
picture well up to that point. The Bowling Alley story
that Paul tells around the campfire is actually based on
a real life quadruple homicide that occurred in Boston in
nineteen eighty. A former employee, Brian Dyer, broke in and
(40:35):
killed four employees. He bound their hands, three with handcuffs,
the fourth with his belt, and bludgeoned them all with
a bowling pin before shooting them all once in the head.
Three of them died at the scene, while one would
later die in the hospital. Dyer was eventually caught and
sentenced to four consecutive life terms. He died in prison
in twenty eleven, so when he's telling that story in
(40:55):
the movie, it actually took place in real life. Several
of the songs on the soundtrack are taken or from
the same movie in nineteen seventy two, the last half
House on the left soundtrack, so a little tie in there.
According to right or Strong, on the first day of shooting,
the film's independent investors pulled out of the project because
(41:18):
of the anthrax scare. You remember the whole anthrax scare.
Oh yeah, yeah, that was crazy. That was wild times
too back then. The film began shooting just a month
after nine to eleven. So this was ranked number one
on the Most Gruesome Movie Disease of All Time by
Total Film Magazine in February twenty thirteen. So a lot
(41:39):
of it's come out since then, so you'd had another
twelve years of movies that So according to eli Roth,
the prosthetics originally made for the leg shaving sequence Frozen
Transit and were unusable when they arrived on the set.
So what they do instead They applied special makeup to
Serena Vincent's legs and hit it with shaving green.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
It works, Yeah, it plays, it does. It's really good.
It was filmed really well. That's one of the things
I'll give this movie is even though it has a
really low budget, they do a really good job of
just filming it.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
Yep, you have already touched on that one. So during
the end credits, two actors are credited as Shimp and
Fake Shimp. This is probably a homage to fellow to
horror director Sam Raimi, who would often credit extras as
Shimp in honor of actor Shemp Howard of the Three Stooges.
The term fake Shmp refers to the practice where Howard
(42:35):
was often substituted by a stand in after his death.
So I Love I like that. Angelo Baba Lamente donated
three compositions to the Cabin Fever soundtrack, Red Dream, Deputy
Winston's theme and love theme when the production nearly ran
out of money during filming, So they said here here
(42:59):
I'll do this for It was nice one, all right, Jason.
How many times does Winston say party or any form
of the word in this movie?
Speaker 6 (43:09):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (43:10):
Good question.
Speaker 6 (43:10):
Let's see just that one seeing a hanging out with
all the teenagers trying to be cool. I'm gonna go
high and say thirty.
Speaker 7 (43:23):
Fifteen fifteen fifteen. Okay, this is another. This is one
of those you come across this trivia. This one's pretty funny.
I ain't gonna lie, but Bert's shirt, says ripe On
six thirteen oh four. Do you know why that is there?
Speaker 6 (43:42):
Bond six thirteen oh four.
Speaker 5 (43:46):
Yeah, it's hilarious. No clue, no clue. Are you ready?
Don't laugh? This is the date Mary Kate Olsen and
Ashley Olsen turned eighteen. That's awesome. I read that and
I was like, oh, I have to say that. That's funny.
Speaker 6 (44:06):
That's a good one.
Speaker 5 (44:08):
We talked about those guys being in Detroit, Rox City already.
So Serena Vincent has credited Cabin Fever two thousand and
two as being responsible for the birth of her child,
as Cabin Fever initiated her career as a horror film
scream queen, and she met the father of her child
at a horror film convention. So fellas, if you're looking
for love and all the wrong places, you might want
(44:29):
to go to a horror convention because.
Speaker 6 (44:30):
I never know a nice place to meet a lady.
Speaker 5 (44:33):
And I had this this next trivia I have. I
might still have it out there in one of the
toats because I don't really watch a lot of DVDs.
I do a lot of streaming, and I do a
lot of digital buying now. But some of the copies
of the Region one DVD were enclosed in a DVD
slip cover with a Lineker card good onto the box.
It was kind of like a three D card that
was yeah, yeah, I have that somewhere.
Speaker 6 (44:56):
Really okay, So what is it like the lenticular card?
Does it when you move it?
Speaker 5 (45:00):
What does it do?
Speaker 6 (45:01):
Like?
Speaker 5 (45:01):
It's kind of like it's kind of like it's almost
like three D Like it had the picture of the
skull in the cabin and you would kind of just
move it back and forth and it kind of like
jumped out at you. You know, it's pretty cool. If
I find it, I'll post a video for you.
Speaker 6 (45:14):
I was kind of hoping it would be the shaving scene, but.
Speaker 5 (45:17):
Oh yeah, that'd be gross. I was kind of hoping
it'd be the wound on the thigh on the thigh scene,
and then Eli Roth of course, he was the lost
tiger who was named Justin in the end credits, but
Roth himself is credited as David Coughbird. That's who he
went for as his scene. So all right, that's all
(45:40):
the trivia bond Bond. What do you think about Cabin Fever?
Not Cavin in the Cabin Fever? And do you recommend
people to watch it? And what are you gonna rate
this movie? All right?
Speaker 6 (45:51):
So other low budget movies, I'm thinking ni a Living
Dead low budget movie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Evil said, all
of those movies are filmed on shoe string budgets, so
is this one. So overall, I liked this movie. I
thought it was funny in the right places.
Speaker 5 (46:10):
The problem I.
Speaker 6 (46:11):
Had with it was there's way too much cursing in it.
For that's just a personal taste. I understand if there's
cursing in a movie, it doesn't bother me. But it
just seems like there was an excess of cursing in
it where it started to distract from the plot, distract
from the characters, distract from the story. So right away,
(46:31):
the same thing with like the sex scene, it seemed forced.
Speaker 5 (46:36):
It wasn't.
Speaker 6 (46:40):
It was not very sexy, not very sexy. So I
had a problem with those kind of things, and like
you're saying, with the with the slurs at the end,
those kind of it to me a distract from the movie.
I like scary movies. I like horror movies. I like Gore.
I think I'm going to give this one a probably
(47:03):
like a seven and a half. Okay, so it's up there.
It's good, you know what I'm saying. For what they
were working with and in the history behind it, I
think seven and a half.
Speaker 5 (47:13):
So maybe if you could find it on network television,
edited it down version, it might be better in your
opinion for you.
Speaker 6 (47:19):
Yeah, I'm thinking so if they could cut Yeah, if
they would cut some of the words come of the
curse words out for me, so it's not so distracting,
I think that would help out a lot.
Speaker 5 (47:28):
All right, Yeah for me, I think I love this movie.
I think it's got a good story, it's got a
good premise, it's got that twist at the end of
the little kids going to sell eliminate and then giving
it to the sheriff, then them that had just shot
the one guy he thought he had made it to
the end of the movie, that that leg shaving scene.
(47:49):
That is something that sticks with you. Because when we
were talking about doing this movie, you're like, is that
the one with the leg shaving scene? I said, I
think so, and you're like, Okay, that's like the only
thing you remembered about it because it's something that sticks
with you. It is so disturbing, it sticks with you,
and that's good because that's hard to do in this
day and age. Again, I'm not a big language guy.
(48:11):
You know, if you've seen Scarface and they drop the
F bomb at three hundred and eighty five times or
whatever it is, or you know, some of that stuff's
just overdone. It doesn't need to be in movies for
the movie to be successful. Now, as we talked about
them dropping the racial slur in this movie at the
beginning and at and it comes back at the end.
(48:32):
It's the end word. I'm not going to say it
because I don't agree with it. I'm not and I
don't say that word. But to me, that didn't even
need to be in there. And we didn't even talk
about the pancake kid, you know, the guy that the
there's something might have been something in the water before that,
because this kid all he wants is pancakes, and he
just yells pancakes, pancakes, and again a fight with all
(48:53):
the people and everything.
Speaker 6 (48:54):
So the little sign it says don't talk, don't talk
to Dennis or don't don't makes right.
Speaker 5 (48:59):
So I'm that was another side quest. That's like in
a video game. If that's a side quest, I'm not
going to do that side quest. So I think they
had some good character development as the movie went on,
but some of it I'd like to see some of
the deleted scenes because I think it could have drawn
the story even closer, like they said, just for the
because there was the couple that would always argue and
(49:20):
then they would have sex and they go back to
arguing throwing stuff, and it's just got a little choppy
at times where I think if they would have left
some of that stuff and they're not get it. They
probably had the studios one of them because some of
the scenes out. But when you do that, it kind
of chops the movie. I'll be like, well, I don't
remember them doing this, or why is this happening because
there's something that important that happened in a cut scene
(49:41):
that they didn't remember to put in or put in
the movie that would have made it fluid more for me.
Even though I liked this movie, I'm going to give
it a six. And I think it's really well done.
And like I said, the language is just over the
top it. It's got some great, great special effects in it.
(50:04):
It really does. Just to see how he come up
on the fly where the especially for the legs shaving
scene where those ones froze and now he just lets
hides it under shaving cream, brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 6 (50:17):
Well, any scene where she's in the in the shed,
locked up in the shed, great scene, right, And I
think that's what this movie has. It has a lot
of great scenes, but it doesn't flow well.
Speaker 5 (50:29):
Right, And I know I would. I would recommend anybody
watched this movie at least once because it does bring
something to the genre of horror that's kind of been
lost lately in the horror genre, and that's entertainment. And
when it's something like this that is real, it just
(50:51):
it just adds a special fear factor to you that's
that's hard to get away with.
Speaker 6 (50:57):
Yeah, I totally agree. I think that I would recommend
this movie to anybody who is a fan of horror.
Speaker 5 (51:03):
Movies.
Speaker 6 (51:04):
You'd have to really know the person, know what kind
of movies are into. But if they're into horror movies,
this is almost like a must see.
Speaker 5 (51:10):
I think absolutely absolutely, well, we are the.
Speaker 6 (51:13):
Tragedy to find out I can find out real quickly.
There are two other movies based on Cabin Fever. There's
Cabin Fever two Spring.
Speaker 5 (51:21):
Fever because happened over spring break.
Speaker 6 (51:25):
Yeah, this was October break. There's another one called Cabin
Fever two Spring Fever.
Speaker 5 (51:32):
Winter Fever two. And then there's a prequel.
Speaker 6 (51:35):
There is a prequel called Cabin Fever Patient zero Bomb.
Speaker 5 (51:40):
We might have to go and dive into these.
Speaker 6 (51:43):
Maybe zero maybe it explained sixteen.
Speaker 5 (51:46):
Maybe it explains a lot more. And I also heard
they might be redoing this one, So we'll see, we'll see.
We'll keep our lookout for it. But we are the

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Somebody else, Well, got it.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
All right, guys, Welcome back to the Tragedy of Cinema Podcast.
I'm your host, Jimbo, and today I'm joined by my
co host.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Hey, this is Jason Bond.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
What's up. We got Bond all the way from Texas. So, Bond,
we finally got you to watch the right movie this time.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Hey, I'll have you know that Cabin in the Woods
is a great movie but essimately should be covered on
our podcast.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
But it's no Cabin Fever.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
It's no Cavin Fever, but it's good. It's worth a watch.
Speaker 7 (02:39):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
I was two thirds of the way through that movie
when I realized it was the wrong one.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
The funny thing was, You're like, hey, Cabin in the
Woods was a really good movie. I said, yeah, I'm
sure it is, but we're not covering that movie.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
So Rol, that's great. When you're done, watch Cabin Fever.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Right, So I told Bob we'll probably have to cover
that one too, just so he did waste time watching
a movie. But Bond, before we get started, Cabin Fever
is obviously a movie that takes place around a cabin
in the woods. What are some of your favorite movies
that take place around cabin in the woods. And you
can't say Cabin in the Wood?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Oh no, no, let's see Cabin in the Woods. I
would have to say the best of all time is
Evil Dead, Absolutely Evil Dead by far. I mean that's
like a handheld camera, small budget, but man, that movie
is like set the guidelines for all other like horror
movies in the woods.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Right, did you see that movie with Batista here recently?
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Yeah, what was that called? I can't remember, but that
kind of took place in like the middle of a
It's probably a house in the wood, not a cabin
in the wood. But that was a really good movie too.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Yeah, he's got like convince the others that he needs
to kill them.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Yeah, or the end of the world, the judgment day
is going to come exactly real. That's really good.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
One of my their favorite Cabin in the Woods movies
is meat.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
I was gonna say, Ernest goes to Camp, Ernest goes
to Camp.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Yeah, Meatballs. There's the Actually the worst scene in Meatballs
is the scene that's actually the Cabin in the Woods
where Bill Murray has a heart to heart talk with Woody.
And if that's like the worst scene in the movie,
it like kills the whole.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
I haven't watched Meatballs in forever, I mean neither it's great.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
We've had to put that on the list. That has
to be one we have to cover.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
I agree, we have to do meatballs in summer sequels.
If we're brave enough, we'll do meatballs too.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
So Bond, did you did you like Cavin Fever? Do
you consider this a horror movie? How would you how
would you consider this? Would you consider a comedy? Because
it is funny at times?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
It is funny at times and we'll get into it
later or like all the little tweaks and aspects of
Cavin Fever. But I think this movie pulls like all
of the classic moments of all your horror films that
puts it in one movie. It's really good about taking
every cliche from every horror movie and putting it together.
(05:04):
And I think what makes definitely consider horror. But it's
more of like your and we'll talk about eli Roth
in a little bit, but it's like an eli Roth
type horror movie where it's just grotesque. It's it's gory.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
And I think one thing that makes this movie stand
out from other horror movies is this is one of
those ones it could happen in real life. That's what
makes it scary. When you put when you put take
real world events and stuff and put it into a
movie where, oh, this could happen, Like what was it
the what was the one where they knock on the
door with the strangers.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
That stranger that totally could happen.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Yeah, all that stuff. And I mean, we don't have
to go back too many years ago when the COVID
nineteen outbreak and you know outbreak the movie came out
how many years ago? So hollywoods ahead of its time
at some of this stuff. So it's very interesting. But
enough diddle dattling. I think we should just jump right in.
Go ahead, Bond, take it away, all.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Right, we're going to be covering today. Cabin Fever. It's
a two thousand and two movie. It is considered comedy,
it's considered horror. It was co written and directed by
Eli Roth. This is actually his directorial debut, and it's
the first installment of the Cabin Fever franchise.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Yikes.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
This film stars Ryder Strong, Jordan Ladd, James Debello, Serna, Vincent,
Joey Kern, and Giuseppe Andrews. And I know you're thinking,
who who are these people? I've never heard of any
of them either, inspired by real life experience where Roth
developed a skin infection during a trip to Iceland. The
(06:41):
story follows a group of college students who read a
cabin in the woods and fall victim to an unknown
flesh eating disease. So, in a odd weird way, this
is like based on an Eli Roth true story. Yep,
that's pretty creepy. So for the plot, if we want
to get into actually what happens in the movie, this
(07:03):
movie starts off with Henry. Henry's a hermit walking through
the woods. He finds a dead dog, got this nasty
blood infection. It's gross right off the bat, you know,
and this thing you could tell. He goes in there,
he gets he touches the dog, and he gets the
dog's blood on him. So now poor Henry the hermit
(07:24):
is infected.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Right. So, like, like.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I said, this movie's full of all those little cliche
horror movie moments. In this case, we have college students
off going off into the woods by themselves.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Imagine that, Go ahead, sod imagine that. I mean, have
we not did they not ever watch Texas, Chainsaw Masak
or any of those other.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Exactly, I'm like the thirty years of Don't Go into
the woods if you're a young college student. But no,
they do it. I have to admit as a college student,
I never gathered up three or four of my friends
and said, Hey, let's go out in the middle of
nowhere and hang out in a cab.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I don't think I've ever done that.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
And what's weird about that is there's always that fifth wheel.
Do you ever notice that, Like, there's never like the
girls and the boys, the young men and the young
women in all of these they don't match up perfectly. No,
it's not three girls, three guys. It's always like in
this two girls, two guys, and an extra guy and
the odd ball. Yeah, and the joker. But anyway, we
(08:24):
jump ahead, all right, So college student Jeff, Marcy, Paul, Karen,
and Burke they head to this remote cabin to celebrate
October break.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Do you get an October break up? There? In Indianapolis
when I was a kid, I don't think we ever
got a break like that. All I remember is we
were out from Labor Day to Memorial or we went
to school Labor Dad to Memorial Day. We had the
whole summer off, and then we had like a little
Christmas break. But nowadays, they get spring break, they get
winter break, they get fall break, they get all these breaks.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Yeah, they have like two weeks off, you know, during Christmas.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
And you're like, I mean, that's good for you, bond,
you get a little extra time off.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
I can't, I can't complain. So Bert leaves. He goes
to hut some squirrels, but now he accidentally shoots and
now disfigured and bloody Henry. Despite Henry's please for aid,
Bert flees and remains silent about the incident, so he's
out there hunting. He accidentally shoots Henry. I think this
is one of the best parts of the movie. Is
(09:21):
actually the very very beginning. When they're at the campfire.
They're gathered around and this guy comes in. His name
is Grim. He's a drifter. He's got his pet dog,
and it rains. Grim leaves with his dog. The friends
go inside and wait for Grim. Henry stumbles in the
(09:42):
camp begging for help. When Burt shuts the door on
the sick hermit. He tries to steal the group's car
and he meanwhile he's sick. He's vomiting blood, and Henry
approaches Marcy and Karen, Paul accidentally sets him on fire.
Never accidentally sets somebody on fire who came to the door.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
It's so ridiculous at times.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
It comes up, It ever comes up. But I just
I'd love that scene though, because they're all gathered around
and just hanging out at the camp and you know,
and all of a sudden, he just shows up and
he's sick. And once again, like you were saying before,
it's that real life what would you do?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
So? What would you do? So? True story About two
months ago, I was, uh, I leave for work really
early in the morning, like one thirty am, and I
take my trash can out to the curb because it's
a Friday morning, and all of a sudden, this lady
walks up to me, and I'm like what. She's like,
she's got a band on from the hospital and she
(10:45):
can't really speak English to me, right. She's like, oh please,
I'm so sick. Can you take drag me over here
to my house? And you know me, I'm like, lady,
this is one thirty in the morning. You don't come
up to a man anytime at this time. And I
and say, can you help me out? Because bad things
will happen. But I was like, look, lady, I said,
I'm run She's like, please, please, I'm so sick, you know,
(11:07):
I just got out of the hospital. Please, And I said, look,
I said I can't. I said I'm running late. I
kind of lied, but I was like, I've seen too
many horror movies to even put myself in that position,
because if I'd take her into her house and her
husband or boyfriend comes out with the gun and shoots me,
and what are you doing with my girlfriend? Wife? I
was like, I'm not putting myself in that position ever.
(11:27):
So I was like I kindly just had to say no,
I'm sorry, and she kept walking on down the street.
But that's kind of scary.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Yeah, that would scare me a lot. That would I would.
I would jump out of my skin on that one.
But yeah, there's no way, no way you would ever
say sure, no problem, I'll help you out. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
You've seen way too many movies for that. You're much
smarter than that man. But so it's the same situation.
It's a real life situation. Here they are hanging out
(11:56):
the cabin. This guy shows up, he's bloody, you know,
he's sick. He's obviously sick.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
And then he coughs, like right on him, he sprays
blood all over him. No, that's not kid, so all right,
So we jump ahead. The next day, while seeking to
help fixing their truck, Jeff and Bird encounter a butcher
at least, but leave after learning that she is Henry's cousin.
(12:25):
I love her, man, she's out in the in the barn.
She's like slaughtering animals. Paul calls police Deputy Winston, who
promises to set up the tow truck. Paul tries comforting Karen,
who was upset over Henry's death, after claiming After calming
her down, Paul attempts to have sex with her, only
discover her bloody infected wound on her thigh.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
No talk about a mood killer.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I know that's terrible. That's terrible, yeah, sir. Yeah, So
that's probably another one of my favor little scenes, you know,
because as a as a teen, you know, that's got
to like haunt you. If you're if you're twenty two
years old, if you're eighteen years old and you see
this movie for the first time, that's gotta scary you, man,
(13:15):
that's gotta scary you. That's crazy. That's crazy. But before
I jump back in, let me go, let me tell
you a little bit about the movie before I totally
skipped this part.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
This movie came out September fourteenth, two thousand and two,
at least September twelve, two thousand and three here in
the United States. It's got a running time in ninety
four minutes. Right, of course, it's in English. It was
distributed by lions Gate. Now here's the really cool thing,
all right. It was made for one and a half
(13:49):
million dollars one point five million in today's money, that's
about two million dollars.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
They sold it to lions Gate for three point five million.
The box office return on this movie was thirty point
six million, two thousand two that's equal to fifty four
million dollars today got So they took a two million
(14:16):
dollar movies and made fifty four million.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Do you remember that? I think it was a Rally's commercial,
the ching the guy drive exactly exactly.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
So this was a big, big hit for Lionsgate. This
movie is the one that launched Eli Roth's career. The
reason we know who Eli roth Is today. The reason
he's able to make movies and do what he does
with Hostel and all those other movies is because of
the success of this movie. This is the reason movies
like Paranormal Activity was made. Because big studios were willing
(14:50):
to take a risk on low budget horror movies. It
opened up that opportunity to say, you know what, here's
a low budget horror movie, no stars in it, no
one big, and just to show that those kind of
movies can make a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Well, it's like if you look at the success of
the Terrifier franchise, same type of thing.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Yeah, it's in the same Yeah, it's in the same
vein if you will, right. So it's one of those
things where it's like very little investment, very investments. Now
this movie does start. I started naming like characters in
the movie without telling you who.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Say, Bond, who are these people?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I know?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Okay, I don't know who these people are. Well me either,
why are you gonna tell us? Or are we just
going to go right into the well I will? I
jumped ahead. I jumped ahead.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
I was so excited about about getting them.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
So excited talking about a wound on a girl's thigh.
You forgot all about the starstvoice.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I got a wound on a girl's thigh. It was
all over all right. So Writer Strong plays Paul Writer Strong.
He was in Boy Meets World. That's the only thing
I could find on him. He said he was a
Boy Meets World. Not much like I said. All of
these actors and actresses, don't expect much from them. They're
not really you know, real, real big. Jordan Ladd played Karen.
(16:06):
Now here's something really cool. Jordan Ladd, who played Karen
is the daughter of Cheryl Ladd. Do you know who
Cheryl Ladd is?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Okay, she was.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
She was who didn't as a kid, who didn't? All right,
So so Jordan Ladd is Sharon Ladd's daughter. She was
in movies like Never Been Kissed, and she was also
in the Quentin Tarantino movie death Proof. James Debello was
played Bert, and he was in the movie Detroit Rock City.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Which we've covered on this podcast, by the way.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Which is an amazing movie. By the way, Detroit Rock
City is amazing. That movie is so funny. Sarah Vincent
plays Marcy. Marcy was she was in The Power Rangers.
I think like She was in the Power Rangers movie
not really like the show, but like the Powers movie.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Well she has like theer do you know? I think so?
I think so.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
And then she was also in not another teen movie.
Joey Kern as Jeff was in Super Troopers. Are Henry
the Hermit that I mentioned earlier? He was in a
Thin Red Line. He also was in Frank Millerson City.
Giuseppe Andrews played Deputy Winston. He was also in Detroit
(17:24):
Rock City. There's another good reason to watch that one.
He was also Never Been Kissed, along with Jordan Ladd.
And he's the only character that comes out in Cabin
Fever too. Oh no, I know, I'm afraid of it too.
Eli Roth, the director and co writer of this movie,
plays justin. He was also the writer and director of
(17:48):
the movie Hostile and all the Hostile sequels?
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Did you Like?
Speaker 6 (17:52):
And played a role small role in Inglorious Bastards?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Did you Like? Hostele?
Speaker 6 (17:57):
No, I'm not really into those torture type tortures.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
That was a weird movie.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Man.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
That makes you not want to travel over anywhere.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Yeah, I mean, I've seen it once and that was
enough for me.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
It's I get it.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
You go and you know, it's a terrible situation, but
it's just too disturbing for me to watch more than once.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
You know.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
I think it's one of those movies that if you're
a fan of horror, you have to watch it once.
But I don't know, it's just not where those movies
that was it?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Was it that one or the second one where those
kids that you know, the one kid has like the
candy bars or bubblegum and he passes out to the
kids and they end up taking that dude's head off
and playing like soccer with it. Do you remember that? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (18:35):
I think that was the second one. Man, Yeah, that
was insane. So Eli Roth, like I mentioned before, he
co wrote this movie while he was a student at NYU.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
He and his roommate wrote this movie. Again.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Eli Roth got his start he was behind the scenes
helping the director of Howard Stern's Private Parts. Have you
seen Howard Stern's Private Part?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
I have? Okay?
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Well, he was helping out with that in nineteen ninety
five and that inspired him to write a script. And then,
of course I've mentioned before, he got a really bad
skin infection when he was working on a farm in Iceland,
and that's how he got the idea for this movie.
Let's see. Let's see all right, so let's get back
(19:21):
to our script. There's a lot of other characters in here.
There's you know, the side character, a little you know
here and there people. Oh the dog. The dog's real
name was rock yep.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Did you did you like the sheriff and the want
to be sheriff in this movie?
Speaker 6 (19:36):
I want to be sheriff in this movie.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
He was pretty funny too.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Well what about the what about the general store guy?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
The the.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Yeah, yeah, played by Robert Harris.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
That was he played a great character. And if you
wait till the end of the movie, like you watched
the you watch it and they drop some language in
here that's really looked down upon today and not really
it's wrong, okay, But if you wait till the end,
(20:10):
if you wait till the end of the movie, it's
pretty it comes back around. And it's kind of interesting
how they how they brought it back to what he
was talking about. So I just be warned if you
watch it and certain thing is a word has dropped,
just watch till the end. And I think it was
(20:30):
done for shock value. But at the end you'll see
what happens.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
I agree, I agree, that's one of the things. I mean,
we'll talk about it after. I let me, let me
finish up the plot of the movie until you kind
of whatever till everybody what the movie is about, and
then we'll kind of get into that, because that's something
else I wanted to talk about. Well, all right, so
jumping back in. Sorry about that rude interruption, but here
we go. Paul discovers Henry's body floating in the reservoir
(20:58):
and realizes that the infection is spreading throughout the water supply.
They return to the cabin, Paul finds Marcy's bloody remains
and seeing doctor Mabo feeding on the weakened Karen oh Man.
That scene, watch right, he walks in and they're like
the dogs like eating on her, and you're like, this
(21:19):
movie is not for the fate of heart. I'm just
telling you know that right now, Jimbo. This is an
advanced level horror.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
I'm telling you the girl shaving her legs scene, that's
pretty pretty grimy. Yeah, that's to me.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
Okay, if I was to square this movie down into
one scene, that's the scene. That's the scene. Here, what's
this movie about here.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I'll show you this girl shaving her legging, her skin
starts coming off.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
It's just shooting, peeling layers of skin off, and you're like,
that's not good.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
No, that's not good.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Well, a dying Bird returns to the cabin pursued by
Dennis's father and two of his companions. The Posse kills Burt,
and Paul kills all three of them. Paul looks for
Jeff and instead of finds Grim's corpse in a cave.
Paul takes the convenience stores truck and while driving, discovers
that he's infected before hitting a deer. He reunites with
(22:16):
Deputy Winston, who is parting with underage drinkers. Paul requests
a ride to the hospital, but before the group departs,
Winston's worded to kill on site several infected people on
a killing spree. So this thing just spreads like crazy.
Everyone's infected. Every What I love about it is people
get infected and they try to hide it because you
(22:39):
know how bad it's going to get. You know how
gross it's going to be and how terrible this death
is going to be, so you're hiding it from your friends.
And like we mentioned before, you saw that during COVID.
You know, you saw that during COVID, you saw people
who would be sick, and you'd kind of like cover
it up.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
The one question I have for this movie, and I
guess maybe it's the the point I think I have
a problem with, is it shows the dead guy in
the water system and it's going through the water treatment plant. Right,
if you watch this movie, it seems like the disease
goes real fast and kills them really fast, I mean
(23:19):
a matter of hours if it's in the water plant,
the water treatment thing for that whole small city. I
mean you're talking about the sheriffs, you're talking about, all
the party people, you're talking about everybody would have been infected.
And that's the kind of part that kind of threw
me off of this movie, because if it's in the
water treatment system and they're drinking water, you know, at
the sheriff station, prisoners, hospitals, whatever, it would have went
(23:40):
a lot faster than the movie let on. But I
guess you would never have a cabin fever two.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
If not, Well, here's kind of what I was thinking
with that. Just because there's a dead body near the
water treatment plant, wouldn't the water treatment process?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Well, they say, they say, a lot of your sewage
that you flush down the toilet goes through a water
treatment center and you ends up back in your falsets.
So who knows?
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Because I was thinking, Okay, so the dog, the dog's
drinking directly from the river, so he's drinking direcked. So
I can see the dog getting infected and infecting other people.
So it being spread that way. That makes sense to me.
But through the water treatment play, I'm like, you think
could get rid of most of the contampates.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
You would think that you don't know what you really
don't know what type of infection it is. I mean,
can it be done away with just a water treatment thing?
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Yeah, well no, we really don't know how the like
I guess how patient zero got started here.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Right right, And I haven't watched the second one yet,
so maybe they answer some questions in some of the
other parts of this series. I don't know, but I
mean that's true. I mean you can leave the door
open to explore that anytime he wants.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Yeah, that would be nice to see, like how it
all got started.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
But I do I do love.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
The fact that it's spreads so quickly because it's one
of those things that it can't be stopped once it's
spread out. Now it's like two people, four people, eight people.
It just keeps growing and growing, growing, and it's not
a good depth. The worst part to me was when
they locked Karen.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Up in the heart breaking.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Oh man, that's just bad. And that's just that's the
hardest part.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
But what would you do? What are you what are
you going to do? I mean, can you can you
imagine if it was your wife and you you know,
you know she's infected. Hey, I'm gonna take you out
here to this shit, and you know we're gonna put
the lock on the door.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Let me ask you this. When somebody has the flu,
or somebody in your home is really really sick, what
do you do with them?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
I stay away from them.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
You stay away from right. You put them in a
bedroom or something and you close the door and no
one's allowed to go in there except one person maybe, But.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
You don't change the door shut.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
That's because the person's not trying to get out.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Yeah, exactly, So why would they have to change the
door because they know that that once that infection takes over.
I mean, if you remember the dog, he was very aggressive,
so I think they know that she'll be aggressive once
the full transformation takes place. I think so.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
But yeah, you isolate you have to isolate him, and
so that's all they were doing. They were they would
keep themselves safe. So here's the way it finishes out right.
The next Jay Jeff, he's been hiding out, he's been
drinking in the woods. He returns to the cabin. Initially,
he's crying because he sees the remains of all of
his friends.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Everybody.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
It's gotten everybody. He becomes a static upon realizing that
he survived, he did it. He raises his arm in
victory and as he does, boom killed by the local police.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
It reminds me of the Great the Great Night of
the Living Dead.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Mm hmmm, exactly are is that the way that movie
The Fog ended too? Something similar to that.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
I love the Fog that is favored all time horror movie.
But I don't think it was the Fog. I think
you're thinking of the Mists there. Yeah, where they come
to the stop sign and you know, he kills all
his family and then the military shows up like that,
you're rescued and.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
You're like, oh, that's right, that's what I was thinking of.
The mist an excellent movie. So he shows up, he's devastated.
All his friends have died. But then he's like, yes,
I did it, I survived, I beat this virus.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I win.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I win.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
And he go out and get shot by the sheriff
so local police, and then they just stack him up
with the remains of everybody else. Right, The very last
scene has two kids. They get water from the lake
for their lemonade. Stand you not realizing that a barely
alive palm is in the lake and has contamidated the water.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
And I do believe THEFF.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Deputy exactly by a glass of lemonade.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Hilarious.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
That's awesome. So that that's the movie. That's the movie,
Cavin Fever, not Cavin in the Woods, Kevin Fever.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Hey, did it win any awards?
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Bond, I don't see any awards. I couldn't find anything.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
It did in your heart, though, didn't it it did
in your heart?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
So let's go ahead and doesn't say that they won
any awards.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
All right, We'll go in and talk a little bit
about the trivia of this movie. There's a just a
few things so, while filming a particularly bloody scene, right
or Strong decided to go for a walk in the
woods between setups. He was covered head to toe and blood,
but he happened upon a group of thirty five schoolgirls
who were on a film trip. The girl screamed at
the side of the blood drenched hiker, and then screamed
(28:48):
even louder when they realized the hiker was the star
of Boy Meets World, so the fandom took over. The
girls chased him throughout the woods. He eventually made it
back to the film crew avowed never to wander off
between sets again or scenes again. Can you imagine it?
I mean, you hear that often about people staying in
costume because it would take so long to put that
(29:10):
makeup on him that they would go eat, like at
the Warner Brothers studios, they would go eat at the
cafeteria or whatever, and people would be like, what's he doing?
You know, but they don't realize it takes hours to
put some of that makeup on, or it used to.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Well that's a famous story when they were filming Planet
of the Apes. Yep, that's I mean, it would take
hours and hours and hours to put the you know
to put the makeup on.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Well, even when when they went to lunch.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
It was funny because like the orangue tanks would eat
with the orangue tangs and the chimpanzees would eat with
the chimpanzees.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
But don't forget even was it doctor isaais went on?
Was it Johnny Carson? And he was still in his
full costume.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Full costume on right. I remember one I think I
forgot who it was. One of the actors I think
is Rody mcdell. He was driving home and he was
driving home still in makeup, and people saw him like
at a stop light. Yep, you know up great, So
I understand it takes hours. So if you're going to
cover somebody with blood and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
So crewmember Robert Jones took home the decapitated body prop
once the film wrapped, and was pulled over while driving
home by police officers at gunpoint, who thought the corpse
in the passenger seat was real. The police held Jones
at gunpoint until they were able to confirm the lifelike
body was only a prop. Can you imagine be what
number one? Number one? Why would you have it in
the passenger seat? With no ahead. Would you put it
(30:27):
like you on the car pool lane, Oh, the high
speed path.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Yeah, you get the high speed paths, you get, you
get the carpool lane. If you got somebody in the
pastors seat.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
I mean, if I was going to be in a movie,
I would take a prop to I mean, just the
way it is. Yeah, uh, director, you know Eli Roth,
he got this idelita. But you know when you said
farm in Iceland, people are like, man, that's kind of
weird having a farm in Iceland. But it was a
horse farm, so that's where he got that infection.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Sound mixer John Neff survived the real flesh eating bacterium,
which he contracted in a hospital during minor surgery. It
took thirteen days of NonStop intensive care medical attention to
save his life. He maintains that the makeup in this
film is one hundred percent accurate. Thirteen days and intensive
(31:21):
care just to save his life. You know you've heard
about down there in the South America, like in the Amazon,
where if you relieve yourself in the Amazon and that bacteria,
that that thing could swim up your pea stream and
you know, get you that way.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Watch watch out for the little Fish.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Yeah, forget that man. Peter Jackson actually stopped production on
Lord of the Rings The Return of the King three
times to screen this movie for his entire crew. Jackson
was so enthusiastic about the film he gave director Eli
Roth publicity quotes. So Peter Jackson does love this. So
during her sex scene with writer or Strong, eli Roth
(32:02):
wanted Serena Vincent to be completely naked, but Vincent, who
had previously played a student who never wore clothes in
Not Another Teen movie, was concerned that overexposing herself would
lead to her being typecast as a nude scene chick
and refused to bear her rear in cabin Fever. The
standoff between the director and actress became so intense that
Vincent informed Roth that he truly wanted a nicked button
(32:25):
the scene, he would have to get another actress to
play the role of Marcy. Eventually, the two hammered out
a compromise. Vincent would show one inch of her butt
on film, no more, no less. When the scene was
set to be filmed, Roth bought a ruler and literally
measured one inch of Vincent's butt. Crack bed sheets were
then taped to Vincent's butt at the designated level before
(32:48):
the sex scene was shot. Ironically, Vincent later volunteered to
bear or breaston a scene that didn't call for them.
During the bathroom scene where she discovers the rashes on
her back, the script had her wearing a robe when
she lowered she and she turned her back to the mirror,
but Vincent thought this scenario was too unrealistic and volunteered
to do it topless. She wouldn't do another nude scene
(33:09):
in the movie until the short film Manchild in two
thousand and seven, where she was totally nude during a
skinny dipping scene. Isn't that crazy? Don't you don't want
to show your bud? But hey, I'll go topless because hey,
it doesn't look natural.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Hey, so what'd you do it? Which did it work today?
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Jimbo?
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Well, I had to.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Tapo bet sheet to my butt.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Ye, it's like ruler guy, come here.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
I'm reminded of that movie. I think it was Swordfish
with Halle Berry and she's They said, hey, we want
you to do this topless. She said, I'm not gonna.
They said, we'll give you like three million dollars. She said, okay,
really so exactly.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
That's funny. It's like, okay, one inch, but one inch only.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
This movie had the lowest budget of any Lionsgate film
released in two thousand and three one point five million,
and was their highest grossing film of twenty and three
twenty two million dollar box office. It was also the
most profitable horror film released in two thousand and three.
Saul in two thousand and four, another horror film released
by Lionsgate, would beat this film's record the following year
in two thousand and four for highest grossing film over
(34:10):
a similar low budget, grossing over one hundred million dollars
with a budget of one point two millions. So another
another shout out to Lionsgate for the Sault franchise's those
are some pretty good movies, too true that the audition
scene the producers chose for actress who wanted to play
Marsie was her notorious It's Like being on a Plane scene,
which Marsie compares her dire situation to being on a
(34:31):
plane doomed to crash. This was an unfortunate choice on
the part of the producers, as was the schedule date
for the auditions. Can you guess September eleventh, two thousand
and one. The producers made efforts to call off the auditions,
but due to the general chaos gripping the US that day,
they found it impossible to contact many of the actresses
before their scheduled audition time. Consequently, the auditions went ahead
(34:54):
as plan, and Serena Vince's portrayal of this scene won
her the role of Marci. So Man talk about bad time,
and I do believe it wasn't that the original Spider
Man with Toby maguire. I think they had scenes that
were had the twin towers in the background too, and yeah,
to take.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
Those right, and even like the original Spider Man the
movie poster, yeah had him with on the twin towers
and a web between the two towers. Yep, they had
like changed all up.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
Director of photography Scott Kevin is visible in the rearview
mirror in the truck when the kids are driving to
the cabin. Director Eli Roth noticed this in the editing
room and kept it in so Scott would be in
the movie because he has appeared in all of his
movies that he had shot. So he's like, oh, we'll
just leave him in there.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
That counts that counts.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
Out of the three hundred and forty seven films shown
at the two thousand and two Toronto International Film Festival,
Cabin Fever was screen last and became the highest selling
movie at the festival. Nearly all of the nine studios
who engaged in a bidding war had passed on the
movie at the script stage, the exception being the eventual winner, Lionsgate,
which was not in existence when the s was first written. So, wow,
(36:02):
that's cool, the original.
Speaker 6 (36:03):
Imagine the world with that, lions Gate.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
That's pretty co man, No, it's pretty They put out
some pretty good stuff, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
So this, this movie is like the movie that built
lions Gate, built all of these things, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Absolutely. The original Killer Dog Jake was hired without a
rehearsal and sight unseen because Eli Roth loved the idea
of using the dog and the Patrick Swayzey movie Black
Dog from nineteen ninety eight, and there'd be and thereby
being only two degrees from Swayze. The problem was the
dog was by then four years older, arthritic and are
(36:37):
and tired after a full day of shooting, and if
all the few second bits were spliced expertly together. They
had only about a minute or so of unused or
used usage footage, so they could only use a small
amount of film. All the dog scenes had to be
reshot with a new dog. With no time or money
to find a replacement, what did they do. The producers
(36:59):
cast a real police tac dog that was so vicious
and unpredictable no actors could appear with it on camera.
The crew would hide behind the trucks during its scenes,
and cameras were operated by remote control. So this has
been a bad jose of a dog. You ever you ever.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
See one of those actors?
Speaker 5 (37:15):
You ever see one of those dogs in actions? Yo?
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Yeah, you don'tt to mess with it.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
When I was at a when I was at a
warehouse and somebody and I was a supervisor, and one
of the cars got broken into. I called the police
and this canine unit showed up. The dog got out,
you know, friendly dog. I mean, you know, he's like,
you want to pat him? I was like yeah, So
I petted him. I was like, he said, and I
watch this and he said this secret word. I don't
know what it is. What he said, he said this
secret word. That thing gridded its teeth and went into
(37:42):
full voracious mode. Man, I mean it was scary.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
So yeah, they dress you up like the State puff
marshmallow man.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
If you want to just go out there and boom
if you want, if if you want to take your
shot with a canine unit, I don't because I've seen
them in action and they will tear you up.
Speaker 6 (37:58):
And they're trained to like hold onto you and.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
Until that word is said exactly. So yeah, not for me.
Joey Kern was rushed to the hospital four separate times
for different eye injuries. This guy wasn't having a very
good day. His injuries disrupted the filming schedule, and many
scenes that were shot to be shot later were scheduled
at the last minute so that minimal shooting time would
be lost while Kern recovered. This resulted in numerous supposedly
(38:24):
daytime scenes, mainly the ones inside the Kevin, being shot
in the middle of the night when Marcy sleeps with Paul.
It wasn't meant to be seened so sudden. The scenes
that were filmed but not included in the final movie
show Marcy and Paul becoming closer than it happened because
it was just like bending them, Let's go. As the
film progresses, the light levels become increasingly darker. I will
(38:44):
say that it's kind of a dark movie. It's hard
to make out at times, but this is partially by
design and partially due to circumstance and some scenes the
film's color correction and under exposure is deliberately darkened. But
when Joey Kern was injured on set, it caused many
of the on flight changes for the scoot shooting schedule.
As a result, many of the scenes that take place
(39:04):
inside the cabin on the last as, such as Serena
Vinces's leg shaving and sex scenes was Right or Strong
were actually filmed in the middle of the night. The
light from the windows is all artificial, which makes it
dimmer than genuine sunlight and hints makes the scene look darker.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Interesting, I like it.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
The awkwardness during the impromptu sex scene between Cirin Vincent
and Right Strong drew from the genuine awkwardness between the
two actors at the time, particularly their involuntary bodily responses
to the action. Strong reportedly said de Vinza while the
scene was being filmed that it was very unsexy. This
character seems to have the exact same sentiment. Oh man,
(39:42):
that's one thing you don't want to hear with your
acting career.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
Uh Jordan's Oh yeah, it wasn't that sexy.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
Very unsexy. Very Jordan Lad's distress during her final faceless
scene was genuine, as she had just moments earlier seen
herself with a gruesome mask on in a mirror for
the first time, and the site reportedly drove her to tears.
Looked pretty ugly, pretty rough. A lions Game Film bought
this movie for an undisclosed sum in the high seven figures,
(40:13):
with an eight figure commitment to prints and advertising. It's
the most money Lionsgate has ever spent acquiring a motion
picture well up to that point. The Bowling Alley story
that Paul tells around the campfire is actually based on
a real life quadruple homicide that occurred in Boston in
nineteen eighty. A former employee, Brian Dyer, broke in and
(40:35):
killed four employees. He bound their hands, three with handcuffs,
the fourth with his belt, and bludgeoned them all with
a bowling pin before shooting them all once in the head.
Three of them died at the scene, while one would
later die in the hospital. Dyer was eventually caught and
sentenced to four consecutive life terms. He died in prison
in twenty eleven, so when he's telling that story in
(40:55):
the movie, it actually took place in real life. Several
of the songs on the soundtrack are taken or from
the same movie in nineteen seventy two, the last half
House on the left soundtrack, so a little tie in there.
According to right or Strong, on the first day of shooting,
the film's independent investors pulled out of the project because
(41:18):
of the anthrax scare. You remember the whole anthrax scare.
Oh yeah, yeah, that was crazy. That was wild times
too back then. The film began shooting just a month
after nine to eleven. So this was ranked number one
on the Most Gruesome Movie Disease of All Time by
Total Film Magazine in February twenty thirteen. So a lot
(41:39):
of it's come out since then, so you'd had another
twelve years of movies that So according to eli Roth,
the prosthetics originally made for the leg shaving sequence Frozen
Transit and were unusable when they arrived on the set.
So what they do instead They applied special makeup to
Serena Vincent's legs and hit it with shaving green.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
It works, Yeah, it plays, it does. It's really good.
It was filmed really well. That's one of the things
I'll give this movie is even though it has a
really low budget, they do a really good job of
just filming it.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
Yep, you have already touched on that one. So during
the end credits, two actors are credited as Shimp and
Fake Shimp. This is probably a homage to fellow to
horror director Sam Raimi, who would often credit extras as
Shimp in honor of actor Shemp Howard of the Three Stooges.
The term fake Shmp refers to the practice where Howard
(42:35):
was often substituted by a stand in after his death.
So I Love I like that. Angelo Baba Lamente donated
three compositions to the Cabin Fever soundtrack, Red Dream, Deputy
Winston's theme and love theme when the production nearly ran
out of money during filming, So they said here here
(42:59):
I'll do this for It was nice one, all right, Jason.
How many times does Winston say party or any form
of the word in this movie?
Speaker 6 (43:09):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (43:10):
Good question.
Speaker 6 (43:10):
Let's see just that one seeing a hanging out with
all the teenagers trying to be cool. I'm gonna go
high and say thirty.
Speaker 7 (43:23):
Fifteen fifteen fifteen. Okay, this is another. This is one
of those you come across this trivia. This one's pretty funny.
I ain't gonna lie, but Bert's shirt, says ripe On
six thirteen oh four. Do you know why that is there?
Speaker 6 (43:42):
Bond six thirteen oh four.
Speaker 5 (43:46):
Yeah, it's hilarious. No clue, no clue. Are you ready?
Don't laugh? This is the date Mary Kate Olsen and
Ashley Olsen turned eighteen. That's awesome. I read that and
I was like, oh, I have to say that. That's funny.
Speaker 6 (44:06):
That's a good one.
Speaker 5 (44:08):
We talked about those guys being in Detroit, Rox City already.
So Serena Vincent has credited Cabin Fever two thousand and
two as being responsible for the birth of her child,
as Cabin Fever initiated her career as a horror film
scream queen, and she met the father of her child
at a horror film convention. So fellas, if you're looking
for love and all the wrong places, you might want
(44:29):
to go to a horror convention because.
Speaker 6 (44:30):
I never know a nice place to meet a lady.
Speaker 5 (44:33):
And I had this this next trivia I have. I
might still have it out there in one of the
toats because I don't really watch a lot of DVDs.
I do a lot of streaming, and I do a
lot of digital buying now. But some of the copies
of the Region one DVD were enclosed in a DVD
slip cover with a Lineker card good onto the box.
It was kind of like a three D card that
was yeah, yeah, I have that somewhere.
Speaker 6 (44:56):
Really okay, So what is it like the lenticular card?
Does it when you move it?
Speaker 5 (45:00):
What does it do?
Speaker 6 (45:01):
Like?
Speaker 5 (45:01):
It's kind of like it's kind of like it's almost
like three D Like it had the picture of the
skull in the cabin and you would kind of just
move it back and forth and it kind of like
jumped out at you. You know, it's pretty cool. If
I find it, I'll post a video for you.
Speaker 6 (45:14):
I was kind of hoping it would be the shaving scene, but.
Speaker 5 (45:17):
Oh yeah, that'd be gross. I was kind of hoping
it'd be the wound on the thigh on the thigh scene,
and then Eli Roth of course, he was the lost
tiger who was named Justin in the end credits, but
Roth himself is credited as David Coughbird. That's who he
went for as his scene. So all right, that's all
(45:40):
the trivia bond Bond. What do you think about Cabin Fever?
Not Cavin in the Cabin Fever? And do you recommend
people to watch it? And what are you gonna rate
this movie? All right?
Speaker 6 (45:51):
So other low budget movies, I'm thinking ni a Living
Dead low budget movie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Evil said, all
of those movies are filmed on shoe string budgets, so
is this one. So overall, I liked this movie. I
thought it was funny in the right places.
Speaker 5 (46:10):
The problem I.
Speaker 6 (46:11):
Had with it was there's way too much cursing in it.
For that's just a personal taste. I understand if there's
cursing in a movie, it doesn't bother me. But it
just seems like there was an excess of cursing in
it where it started to distract from the plot, distract
from the characters, distract from the story. So right away,
(46:31):
the same thing with like the sex scene, it seemed forced.
Speaker 5 (46:36):
It wasn't.
Speaker 6 (46:40):
It was not very sexy, not very sexy. So I
had a problem with those kind of things, and like
you're saying, with the with the slurs at the end,
those kind of it to me a distract from the movie.
I like scary movies. I like horror movies. I like Gore.
I think I'm going to give this one a probably
(47:03):
like a seven and a half. Okay, so it's up there.
It's good, you know what I'm saying. For what they
were working with and in the history behind it, I
think seven and a half.
Speaker 5 (47:13):
So maybe if you could find it on network television,
edited it down version, it might be better in your
opinion for you.
Speaker 6 (47:19):
Yeah, I'm thinking so if they could cut Yeah, if
they would cut some of the words come of the
curse words out for me, so it's not so distracting,
I think that would help out a lot.
Speaker 5 (47:28):
All right, Yeah for me, I think I love this movie.
I think it's got a good story, it's got a
good premise, it's got that twist at the end of
the little kids going to sell eliminate and then giving
it to the sheriff, then them that had just shot
the one guy he thought he had made it to
the end of the movie, that that leg shaving scene.
(47:49):
That is something that sticks with you. Because when we
were talking about doing this movie, you're like, is that
the one with the leg shaving scene? I said, I
think so, and you're like, Okay, that's like the only
thing you remembered about it because it's something that sticks
with you. It is so disturbing, it sticks with you,
and that's good because that's hard to do in this
day and age. Again, I'm not a big language guy.
(48:11):
You know, if you've seen Scarface and they drop the
F bomb at three hundred and eighty five times or
whatever it is, or you know, some of that stuff's
just overdone. It doesn't need to be in movies for
the movie to be successful. Now, as we talked about
them dropping the racial slur in this movie at the
beginning and at and it comes back at the end.
(48:32):
It's the end word. I'm not going to say it
because I don't agree with it. I'm not and I
don't say that word. But to me, that didn't even
need to be in there. And we didn't even talk
about the pancake kid, you know, the guy that the
there's something might have been something in the water before that,
because this kid all he wants is pancakes, and he
just yells pancakes, pancakes, and again a fight with all
(48:53):
the people and everything.
Speaker 6 (48:54):
So the little sign it says don't talk, don't talk
to Dennis or don't don't makes right.
Speaker 5 (48:59):
So I'm that was another side quest. That's like in
a video game. If that's a side quest, I'm not
going to do that side quest. So I think they
had some good character development as the movie went on,
but some of it I'd like to see some of
the deleted scenes because I think it could have drawn
the story even closer, like they said, just for the
because there was the couple that would always argue and
(49:20):
then they would have sex and they go back to
arguing throwing stuff, and it's just got a little choppy
at times where I think if they would have left
some of that stuff and they're not get it. They
probably had the studios one of them because some of
the scenes out. But when you do that, it kind
of chops the movie. I'll be like, well, I don't
remember them doing this, or why is this happening because
there's something that important that happened in a cut scene
(49:41):
that they didn't remember to put in or put in
the movie that would have made it fluid more for me.
Even though I liked this movie, I'm going to give
it a six. And I think it's really well done.
And like I said, the language is just over the
top it. It's got some great, great special effects in it.
(50:04):
It really does. Just to see how he come up
on the fly where the especially for the legs shaving
scene where those ones froze and now he just lets
hides it under shaving cream, brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 6 (50:17):
Well, any scene where she's in the in the shed,
locked up in the shed, great scene, right, And I
think that's what this movie has. It has a lot
of great scenes, but it doesn't flow well.
Speaker 5 (50:29):
Right, And I know I would. I would recommend anybody
watched this movie at least once because it does bring
something to the genre of horror that's kind of been
lost lately in the horror genre, and that's entertainment. And
when it's something like this that is real, it just
(50:51):
it just adds a special fear factor to you that's
that's hard to get away with.
Speaker 6 (50:57):
Yeah, I totally agree. I think that I would recommend
this movie to anybody who is a fan of horror.
Speaker 5 (51:03):
Movies.
Speaker 6 (51:04):
You'd have to really know the person, know what kind
of movies are into. But if they're into horror movies,
this is almost like a must see.
Speaker 5 (51:10):
I think absolutely absolutely, well, we are the.
Speaker 6 (51:13):
Tragedy to find out I can find out real quickly.
There are two other movies based on Cabin Fever. There's
Cabin Fever two Spring.
Speaker 5 (51:21):

Speaker 6 (51:25):
Yeah, this was October break. There's another one called Cabin
Fever two Spring Fever.
Speaker 5 (51:32):
Winter Fever two. And then there's a prequel.
Speaker 6 (51:35):
There is a prequel called Cabin Fever Patient zero Bomb.
Speaker 5 (51:40):
We might have to go and dive into these.
Speaker 6 (51:43):
Maybe zero maybe it explained sixteen.
