This is Eli Roth, so the movie is not for everyone. But hey, look, Shawn from <em>Boy Meets World<\/em> is in this one, so nostalgia, right?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/dangling.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-162658368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/dangling.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/dangling-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This cop is so stupid and awesome. Absolute dipshit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My rating: <strong>Better Be Brave<\/strong> Lots of gross out gore in this one, a very uncomfortable sex(?) scene, and I think animal death or at least violence to an animal. Look, I know Eli Roth is a divisive director, not to mention a trash person, but I do think this one is his best AND he plays one of the many memorable side characters in the story. That being said, the gore is intense. I won&#8217;t spoil any specifics for the sickos out there, but Roth supposedly wrote it after getting a flesh eating bacteria abroad. Pretty sick. Also, Free Palestine and fuck you Eli Roth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some thoughts: Happy 4\/20 y&#8217;all. That is what I would say if I hadn&#8217;t forgotten to write this blog last week because WEED. But seriously, I chose this one because I think it is a very good stoner horror movie. It has lots of outrageous characters and dialogue, it&#8217;s super gnarly, and Eli Roth plays an actual stoner who shows up out of nowhere with a bag of weed. It rocks. The movie also has such clear influences, but still stands as its own thing. <em>Evil Dead<\/em> is obviously such an influential cabin movie, but I also feel like this movie owes something to &#8220;The Raft&#8221; section of <em>Creepshow 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cabin Fever (2002)directed by Eli RothRated R for gore, sex, cussin, and drugs For fans of horror movies where a bunch of fucked up shit happens and then it gets [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[251],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-162658366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-notes-from-the-nothingness"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162658366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=162658366"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162658366\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":162658369,"href":"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162658366\/revisions\/162658369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=162658366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=162658366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=162658366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
