On a secret island just off the coast of the Dominican Republic, doctors in a secret lab are working on a vaccine to a deadly flesh eating disease and they seem to have found a breakthrough when they find a person who is immune to the disease. Meanwhile, a group of 4 are on a boat trip to the island as part of a bachelor party, obviously unaware of what is already there. Not before long, though, the trip starts to go sour when one of the group members starts showing signs of a mysterious virus. Remembering seeing a building on the other side of the island as they were approaching, two others go off in search for help, but when they get there, they soon realise that there isn't much time for their friends and it is now a race against time to get help.
Cabin Fever: Patient Zero was actually a bit of a mixed bag for me. It was pretty campy in places, pretty predictable at times, had a few eye-rolling moments, but at the same time is actually quite an enjoyable ride. Only just though.
Now, you obviously don't go into a movie like this expecting an amazing plot, and if you do, well more fool you, but it's still better than Cabin Fever 2 (which has been erased from my memory banks, thankfully). If you're a gore fan then you'll LOVE it because quite a good bit of the film is definitely not for the squeamish. There are a couple of ridiculous moments however that will leave you rolling your eyes (the way a guard gets a gun stuck in his head and a cat fight near the end), but, like I said earlier, it IS pretty campy so you'll get some campy moments.
The acting, while not that bad at all, isn't fantastic, but again, you don't go into a film like this expecting Oscar-winning performances. This installment isn't too bad, like I say, and at least it's better than the 2nd one.
