Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (also known simply as Cabin Fever 2) is a 2009 American comedy horror film directed by Ti West. It is a sequel to the 2002 film Cabin Fever and the second installment in the Cabin Fever franchise. The film stars Noah Segan, Rusty Kelley, Alexi Wasser, Marc Senter, Rider Strong and Giuseppe Andrews, with Strong and Andrews reprising their roles from the first film. The film is about a high school prom that descends into chaos when a deadly flesh-eating bacteria spreads via a popular brand of bottled water.

Plot

Some time after the events of the first film, a disfigured Paul escapes from the creek and makes it to the highway, only to be splattered by a school bus. Deputy Winston Olsen checks the remains and assures the shocked bus driver that he has hit a moose, then dumps the body near a creek. Paul's infected blood enters the creek and makes its way into a local bottled water company.

High school senior John is debating whether to go to prom with his long-time crush Cassie or stay home. His friend Alex is against going until he hooks up with a girl named Liz who drags him to the toilet before giving him a blowjob. Alex notices a large yellowhead on her lip but thinks nothing of it. She says if she can get off work that night, she will meet him at the Prom. John asks Cassie to go to prom but she refuses.

Winston is at a restaurant and sees where a worker from the bottled water company dies and realizes the cause was Paul's body. He goes to the water plant to inform its operators, who are 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, where the infected bottles are distributed, the infection spreads, causing several deaths. Alex is disappointed that Liz did not come, while John gets into a fight with Cassie's boyfriend Marc. As the prom queen is named, the CCD storms in and puts the school under lockdown. As more students in the gym show signs of infection and die, the gym is gassed from the outside. Cassie, John, and Alex watch the carnage in horror. Winston is picked up by his cousin Herman, ready to leave town.

Alex discovers he is infected with necrotizing fasciitis and stays behind. John shows signs of the infection and lets Cassie amputate his hand to stop it. Marc 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, not knowing she is also infected.

Meanwhile, Alex's date Liz is at her workplace. She is a stripper at Teazers and she spreads the infection to the customers, who in turn spread it further around the country and even to Mexico.

In a post-credits scene, Darryl and Dane are shown watching a movie and Dane says "prom blows".

Cast

Production

The film was produced by 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 [9] cast members to come back for the sequel.

The film's production originally wrapped in April 2007. [10]

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. [11]

Soundtrack

The film score was composed by Ryan Shore. [12] The film also featured songs that of "Dancing On Our Graves" by the Washington-based band The Cave Singers, "Prom Night" by Paul Zaza and Carl Zittrer from the 1980 film Prom Night and also "Inner Station" by Minimal Compact.

Release

The film premiered on October 24, 2009, at the Mann Chinese 6 theaters in Hollywood, California as part of the 2009 Screamfest Horror Film Festival Los Angeles.
