That story actually reveals a lot about Cabin Fever, in my opinion. It\'s obvious that the director was trying to make a scary film, and failed. You say it was a "dark comedy" but if so, it was unintentionally so, and that\'s the worst kind. Some have said it\'s a parody of other films, or "pays homage" to them. That\'s wrong too. It\'s a weak imitation of a genre, and entirely inadequate. The casting was terrible.
TERRIBLE. Deputy Winston had to be a non-actor, or at least I hope to god he is a non-actor. If that son of a b1tch calls himself an actor, I might have to track him down and smack him with a baseball bat myself.
So I think you all get the gist. I was wrong, and this film was crap. I stand corrected.
