Thankfully, this third entry in the Cabin Fever franchise is better than the dreadful first sequel, but it is still a weak, low-rent effort. There are two main narrative threads - a research facility and a bachelor party headed for the same island - which collide and liven up the last half-hour with a couple of inventive gore gags (one with a revolver is good fun), reasonable squelch and actual situations to which the characters have to respond, but the previous hour is unimaginative, very sketchily-written, performances are underwhelming (poor Sean Astin does his best with the material, however) and the budget clearly did not stretch to a much-needed camera tripod. A fourth entry is set up surprisingly logically, but this really is a franchise with nowhere left to go.
