Favourite line:	"When the cops searched the place, they found all the hacked off limbs at the end of the bowling lanes. The guy had bowled people's organs. Arms, legs, everything. They found the bald guy's head in the ball return. He was still smiling."

A bunch of friends visit a remote part of America - not quite sure where - to spend a holiday in a cabin in the woods (clearly, none of them have seen Friday the 13th OR The Evil Dead.)
Anyway, one of their number inadvertantly contracts a hideous virus that eats the flesh. As one after another succumbs to the deadly virus, we get to share their true thoughts about one another.
An interesting, gory, and often disturbing horror from the director of Hostel, this is shocking in places, and hangs together well as a movie.
OK, it feels a bit like an extended episode of The X Files, but there's nothing wrong with that.
A good movie.
