...and man do I feel jipped! The trailer made it look like a pretty good horror flick, and the reviews were'nt as bad as one would expect with a horror movie. What starts out as a pretty good concept for the first half of the movie, turns into a chaotic mess that makes no sense the second half.

The story follows some collage kids that go up into a cabin on the outskirts of "Inbredhickville". Some guy wanders into their camp obviously with some flesh eating sickness, and starts puking blood all over the place. One kid gets sick and the others panic banishing her into a shed of some sort, and the others grow crazy and parnoid over who might be infected next. One by one they fall ill, and start turning on each other...At this point, is when the movie starts going into a chaotic frenzy seemingly put together by someone on loco weed. It spirals into cliches about "country folk" and mindless hack and slash. Then, as the director gets his final hit of loco weed, you get to see some ferral kid doing slow mo kung fu while yelling "Pancakes, Pancakes, Pancakes!". What a peice of crap.

No, they need him to run around killing people for no reason the second half of the movie...last to die.

Since the movie has been already spoiled, how does he die? The script kills him or....

Saw it with a friend. Yeah, it kind of sucked. Didn't get the pancakes thing, either.

SPOILERS







OK, wtf was with that ending? Did we ever find out what started this whole disease? What was with that dog? Whose was it, and why was it so flesh-hungry? Why did the last guy alive seem so triumphant and proud to be the last one standing? What was significance of the beetles that kept appearing near dead bodies? Why was that Sheriff so fvcked up? I'm confused by this movie...

Your guess is as good as mine. The only thing I can gather is that the town of hicks already knew about the "fever" and for some reason wanted to keep it a secret. That crazy flesh hungry dog I think was that guy that came into the camp with the bag of weed. Why it was Zombie Dog, I have no idea....

The boy meets world kid apperantly dies from the fever, but it doesnt show it. All that happens is he somehow gets to a hospital, the sheriff takes him from the hospital and the next thing you know his body is in the local reservoir.

It was the water that did it all..and then at the end we see the cops drinking the lemonade from the kids that got water from the lake. Come on, it was fairly obvious..the guy even shouted IT'S THE WATER DON'T DRINK THE WATER.

The Director/Writer was a human alarm clock for Howard Stern. He wrote the script at night, then in early morning knocked on Stern's door to wake him up.

Is one of the "reefer smokers" from Supertroopers in it?

"He's already pulled over, he can't pull over any further!!"

I think the Pancake shows how the cabin fever can taste good in the morning, but not at night. You can't have pancakes at night without going a little crazy, you know because you're crazy if you eat pancakes for DINNER!!

PANCAKES PANCAKES PANCAKES PANCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No no, it was the water cause the first guy died in it (the guy they lit on fire, remember? Boy Meets World kid found him floating in it, then they all drank it and got sick?). So how did he get sick in the first place?
