Village Voice
Vincent Guastini's makeup effects are the star here, a refreshing change from the inky CGI morphing of too much modern horror. - 50
The A.V. Club
A pandemic thriller infected with horror-film clichés, Cabin Fever: Patient Zero ditches the nasty allegory of Eli Roth’s original and Ti West’s studio-butchered first sequel for far duller, standard-issue conventions. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Generic B-level horror marked by numerous dull patches, long stretches of expository dialogue and, save for Astin’s admirably intense turn, uninspired performances. - 38
RogerEbert.com
The first act of Cabin Fever: Patient Zero is so defiantly stupid that I imagine most who rent it or struggle through it in a theater won’t care that there’s actually some material in the final act that clicks, mostly due to some incredibly strong makeup work. - 38
Philadelphia Inquirer
Nicely timed to cash in on the Ebola panic, Cabin Fever: Patient Zero - the prequel to the gross-out franchise about a lethal flesh-eating virus and its party-hardy victims - isn't going to do much for the tourism trade in the Dominican Republic. - 30
The New York Times
Less methodical and witty than its predecessors, Patient Zero often turns its infected characters into mindless, lurching zombies. - 25
Slant Magazine
This is less a movie than a dutiful renewal of a recognizable title's licensing rights. - 20
The Dissolve
