10 Deleted Horror Movie Scenes You Need To See
10. The Basement - Cabin Fever
Eli Roth's gruesome story of a skin infection gone rogue has become a grotty little cult favourite in the years since its release, depicting a group of friends that end up suffering from a strange flesh eating illness that renders them into pulpy messes, right about the same time a load of backwoods locals attempt to kill them all. Because there's always murderous backwoods locals to contend with, even at the best of times.
Of course, a Roth horror movie is going to be packed with deleted scenes where he's gone too far, and Cabin Fever is no different. The one best suited to a must-see however is a scene that explains a plot detail that's been seemingly overlooked otherwise, where a police officer states they found a body in the basement - with no indication of who that might be.
The deleted clip reveals Paul throwing one of the rednecks under the house, so at least we know it wasn't major players in the story. You can see for yourself the extra bit of tone that the addition would have provided, which seems like a strange part to leave out.
