"Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever" is a horror film that blends elements of the contagion subgenre with slasher and body horror. Typical elements include a rapidly spreading deadly virus, intense gore, and a group of young people trying to survive an outbreak. The film uses the familiar trope of a flesh-eating virus but situates the threat in a high school prom setting, adding a unique twist by turning a celebratory event into a nightmare. This setting, combined with the use of infected bottled water as the virus vector, distinguishes it from other horror titles by merging teen drama with visceral horror and social commentary on contamination and popular consumer products.
