I am, of course, a movie lover who would fit such a description. This is one of the best damn splatter-comedies I've seen in a painful golden age. It was tense, sick and twisted enough, very well-done, and VERY, VERY funny. I guess I went overboard when I, too, went on about it being revolutionary (it really isn't). I will instead say that, whether it's revolutionary film or not, it's definitely one of my favorite recent films, and I just could't help but love it more every time I've seen it. There are multiple threats in this, with a flesh-eating virus, dumb, vicious rednecks, and a dog that craves human meat, and nobody comes staggering in like a self-knowing model who took too much vicadan. This movie is the real deal. It starts off a bit slow and I was worried that it was going to go downhill for a short while instead of getting better. Boy, was I relieved when this turned into one of the greatest horror films of all time (in my despised opinion). Not many movies can get under my skin (no pun intended) without truly frightening me, but this one did. Even fewer horror films that get under my skin actually made me feel like I was having fun, even some of my favorites! Some old school-tribute horror movies like "The Dead Hate the Living!" and the aforementioned "House of 1,000 Corpses" just turned out to be fun (but very mediocre) time wasters, but this is one movie I'm sure is going to remain close to my heart in the same way that classics like "The Evil Dead" have (or at least "Bad Taste"). Wanna know why Peter Jackson liked this movie? See his first three, "Bad Taste", "Meet the Feebles", and "Braindead" (a.k.a. "Dead-Alive"). If I laughed my ass off at those, I can enjoy this one as well. Yes, it's more of a dark comedy than a straight horror film. Get over it if you like early Peter Jackson! By the way, more great horror comedies I recommend: "Phantasm", "Bubba Ho-Tep", "Evil Dead 2", "Cemetery Man" (a.k.a. "Dellamorte Dellamore"), "The Toxic Avenger", and may other genre-hybrids that get the same deserved respect that "Cabin Fever" deserves, so COME OFF IT and quit hating over it! (There's always better reasons to hate people than fun movies.)
