![]() Even though the premise started off as joke, Tusk ultimately turned into a truly bizarre body horror movie. Starting as an idea on his podcast, Kevin Smith wrote and directed this twisted tale about a deranged old man who dreams of turning a human into a walrus. What's even more unsettling is that Roth based the movie on an actual trip he took to a horse farm, where his own skin had such an allergic reaction to the hay that he actually developed some bleeding sores of his own. If someone could have only warned poor Marcy before she attempted to shave her legs… This starts with them vomiting blood - so much blood - and continues until their skin literally starts peeling off. Instead, their own bodies are destroying themselves from the inside out. And though Cabin Fever is by no means a perfect movie, the graphic depiction of its characters being consumed by a flesh-eating virus remains beyond disgusting.Ī play on your typical 'cabin in the woods' movie, there's no psychotic killer or army of undead stalking the college students in Cabin Fever. It has a quirky sense of humor and a self-awareness about it that Roth's subsequent films seem to lack. Compared to Eli Roth's overly gruesome Hostel series, Cabin Fever is a surprisingly well-rounded movie.
