X is a film that showcases its director at the top of his craft, with West's movie containing ample nods to the horror movies that birthed it while retaining its own personality courtesy of several stunningly shot kill scenes (such as Pearl eviscerating RJ in his van). However, as porn director RJ (Owen Campbell) as his crew quickly release, their leering host's intentions are far from pure as ample quantities of blood begin to spill on Howard's (Stephen Ure) backwoods farm. X follows a group of aspiring 1970s pornographers and actors who decide to film their latest project at a dilapidated farmhouse. Ti West's " erotic horror" X acts as a fitting homage to his beloved slasher genre that showcases the full breadth of his talents as one of the best modern horror directors in the business. West's failed campaign to have Cabin Fever 2 stricken from his directorial credits acts as the starkest of indicators that this sequel is not up to par with the original Cabin Fever, and marks this movie as West's worst directorial outing to date. Cabin Fever 2 feels cluttered and unwieldy, and this is likely due to West stepping away from the project before its completion in 2007 after the studio allegedly was unhappy with his vision, resulting in the film being repurposed in post-production. Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever, therefore, is as ludicrous as its premise suggests, borrowing helpings of zany content from the oft-maligned 80's camp horror subgenre and acting as a pale imitation of the Evil Dead franchise. A follow-up to Eli Roth's 2002 Cabin Fever (linked via the bodies of dead teens in the town's water supply), the sequel follows students preparing for their high school prom blissfully unaware that a flesh-eating virus is spreading and putrefying their friends and family.
2009 saw the release of two movies for director Ti West, and Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever is undoubtedly the inferior of these.
