What happens

Cabin Fever is a 2002 American comedy horror film, co-written and directed by Eli Roth in his directorial debut. It follows a group of college students who rent a cabin in the woods, where they unwittingly come in contact with an unknown flesh-eating disease. It stars Rider Strong, Jordan Ladd, James DeBello, Cerina Vincent, Joey Kern, and Giuseppe Andrews. Roth was inspired to write the screenplay after developing a skin infection during a trip to Iceland. Principal photography of Cabin Fever took place in North Carolina in late 2001. Cabin Fever premiered at the 2002 Toronto International Film Festival before being acquired by Lionsgate Films, who released it theatrically in the United States on September 12, 2003. The film was a sleeper hit, grossing over $30 million against a $1.5 million budget. The film was followed by several films in a franchise, including Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (2009) and Cabin Fever: Patient Zero (2014), as well as a remake in 2016. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
