Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever is an 2009 American horror film about a high school prom that descends into sheer panic when a deadly flesh-eating virus spreads via a popular brand of bottled water. The film was directed by Ti West and stars Giuseppe Andrews and Noah Segan. It is a sequel to the 2002 movie, Cabin Fever.

Plot

A very disfigured Paul (Rider Strong) escapes from the creek and wanders through the woods, leaving pieces of his own flesh along the way. When he finally makes it to the highway, his body explodes when he is hit by a school bus. His remains are checked by Deputy Winston Olsen (Giuseppe Andrews), the local policeman from the previous film. Winston assures the shocked bus driver that he had hit a moose.

The creek Paul was lying in was connected to a bottled-water company and the infected water was distributed to the local high school.

John (Noah Segan), a senior at the high school, is deciding whether to go to prom with his long-time crush Cassie (Alexi Wasser) or stay home. His friend Alex (Rusty Kelley) is against going until he hooks up with a girl named Liz (Regan Deal). She then says if she can get off work that night, she will meet him there.

John asks Cassie to go to prom but she refuses. Meanwhile, Winston is at a restaurant where a worker from the bottled-water company dies from the infection. He then realizes the creek got heavily contaminated and goes to the water plant to tell the officials that the water is contaminated. The worker he informs is quickly killed by a group of CCD (Contamination Control Division) soldiers in NBC suits. Winston leaves before they can get to him.

At the high school the infection begins to spread slowly. Frederica (Amanda Jelks) dies in the swimming pool from the infection and Rick (Thomas Blake, Jr.) is killed when he drowns after hitting his head on the side of the pool and falling in. Alex is disappointed that Liz did not come, while John gets into a fight with Cassie's boyfriend Marc (Marc Senter). Principal Sinclair (Michael Bowen) then kicks John out. Cassie follows him and John angrily confesses his love to her. CCD then forces John and Cassie back into the school. The CCD locks all of the main exits from the school and kill Principal Sinclair when he demands to know what is going on. The infection then begins to kill the students in the gym at an alarming rate. Sandy (Lindsey Axelsson), the most popular girl in school is also murdered. The gym is then gassed from the outside. Cassie, John, and Alex watch in horror as all the students are killed. Winston is picked up by his cousin Herman (Mark Borchardt), ready to leave town.

Alex discovers he is infected and that the disease is incurable necrotizing fasciitis. The only way to stop the infection is to amputate the infected limb. However, Alex's infection is already too severe and he stays behind. John begins to show signs of the infection too and lets Cassie amputate his hand to stop it.

Cassie's boyfriend Marc then comes out of nowhere, hits Cassie with a hammer, and tries to kill John but Cassie kills him with a nail gun. The two leave the school only to be ambushed by the CCD. John stalls them, allowing Cassie to escape. She finds herself on the highway and stops Herman's van. Winston and Herman take Cassie with them. The camera shows her back where she is starting to show signs of infection.

The end of the movie shows Alex's date Liz at her workplace. She is a stripper at Teazers. She spreads the infection to her customers, who in turn spread it further around the country and even to Mexico. She arrives home later that night, sick, and goes to bed, thinking "I should've fucking gone to prom." After the credits, Dane and Darryl are shown watching TV and Dane says "Prom blows."

Cast

Release

The film was released in spring 2010[7] The film premiered on 24 October 2009 at the Mann Chinese 6 theaters in Hollywood, California as part of the 2009 Screamfest Horror Film Festival Los Angeles.[8][9] The DVD was released in the USA on February 16, 2010 and in the UK on February 22.[10] The US Blu-ray release comes with the Unrated Directors Cut version of Eli Roth's Cabin Fever.[11] After extensive re-editing and re-shooting by the producers, director Ti West requested to have his name removed from the film and replaced with the popular pseudonym Alan Smithee. Because he was not a member of the Directors Guild of America, his request was denied by the producers and he remains credited as the film's director. West has since disowned the final product claiming that it is more a product of the producers and executives than that of his own.[12]

Production

The DVD was released on February 16, 2010.[13] The production companies are Tonic Films, Morningstar Films, Carr Miller Entertainment and Tunnel Post. The special effects are from Quantum Creation FX who created the make-up effects. Rider Strong and Giuseppe Andrews are the only two Cabin Fever[14] cast members to come back for the sequel.

Soundtrack

The film score was composed by Ryan Shore.[15]

Producer Lauren Moews has expressed interest in producing a Cabin Fever 3.[16] The third movie, Cabin Fever: Patient Zero, which is about the origin of the virus, and how it spreads among vacationers on a remote and seemingly deserted island, and the fourth film, Cabin Fever: Outbreak, will be about a family who travels to a Caribbean island and has to deal with the same virus.[17] Both are being shot back-to-back by the companies Indomina and Hypotenuse Pictures.

Cabin Fever: Patient Zero and Cabin Fever: Outbreak will be prequels to the original film, revealing the origins of the virus in the original film and Kaare Andrews has signed on to direct both films.[18] Jake Wade Wall wrote the screenplay for Patient Zero and Outbreak is being written by Adam Marcus and Debra Sullivan. Patient Zero and Outbreak are set for release in 2014.[citation needed]
