Auditions for the role of Marcy occurred on Septemand, despite attempts to cancel the auditions, the confusion of the day made it difficult to contact all of the actresses, so the auditions went on as originally scheduled. It’s also helpful to consider this film’s proximity to 9/11. A number of potential financiers also dropped out or refused to support Cabin Fever for various reasons, including the “unsettling” content of the film (both the gore and the use of the n-word early in the movie) and an anthrax scare that impacted a few of the independent investors on the first day of shooting. It was also the most profitable horror film released in 2003.” In 2004, Saw would beat the film’s record for “highest grossing film over a similar low budget (grossing over $100 million with a budget of $1.2 million).” This is pretty surprising considering the fact that initial attempts made by Roth to sell the script were unsuccessful because “studios felt the horror genre had become unprofitable.” Studio executives expressed interest in the script only if Roth could make it feel more like Scream (1996), which he didn’t want to do. However, for Hostel, he purposefully didn’t allow himself to watch any movies while filming so that it would be entirely original.Īccording to Cabin Fever’s IMDB page, this film had the “lowest budget of any Lion’s Gate Film released in 2003, ($1.5 million) and was their highest grossing film of 2003 ($22 million box office). He made a conscious choice to include a number of references to his favorite horror films, like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Evil Dead, Friday the 13th, etc. Roth speaks about this process (and Hostel) Mick Garris’s podcast Post Mortem. Roth describes Cabin Fever as “everything as a kid that you wanted to do as a kid that just explodes in your first film.” According to Roth, the crew built the cabin themselves, so that the interior of the cabin appeared larger than the exterior (his homage to Evil Dead).

Roth wrote whenever he found free time on the job. It is gruesome, but I love the pink razor detail.Įli Roth co-wrote the film with his friend and former NYU roommate Randy Pearlstein while Roth was a nighttime production assistant to Howard Stern during the filming of Private Parts (1997).
