She deteriorates while there and eventually it falls to Paul to put her out of her misery. She is quarantined inside the shed to avoid her spreading it to anyone else. How is he killed? He’s easily choked to death in about 7 seconds. I didn’t realise the virus gave you the ability to breathe underwater. How is he even still alive? He was pretty messed up the last time he was seen. Later, when someone is in the lake he bursts out like it’s Crystal Lake or some shit and attacks them. His blazing corpse runs off into the night and you assume he jumped into the nearby lake to cool off. The man finds the cabin that the group are staying in and what do they do? They set him on fire because he attempts to steal their car. The man could have been in a car accident or he could have been attacked by a bear or something, Bert is a sick bastard.

This leads to him accidentally shooting an infected man and then he runs off and leaves the man when he’s crying for help. This guy genuinely nearly accidentally shoots his friend and his friend brushes it off as if it was nothing, what? After doing this, he lights a camp fire and leaves it unattended to go off into the woods and pretend he’s in a video game or something.

He brings an automatic weapon on the trip with him, how fun. Also, he happens to be obsessed with video games according to his friends. I will now give a couple of examples of the dumb things that happen in Cabin Fever (2016), it’s been a while since I’ve seen the original but this may be directed at that as well (Spoilers Ahead).įirstly, the character of Bert is portrayed as a sort of 5 th wheel type. It’s 2016 and I don’t think audiences are anywhere near as accepting as they were when these types of movies were in their infancy. Also, Cabin Fever (2002) got a pass for the ridiculous amount of stupid choices the characters make because it was 2002. The characters may do pretty much the exact same things they do in the original but they’ve been “modernized” it in the remake and it shows. You might think that for me to criticize this remake is for me to criticize the original as well which is only slightly true. That’s a quick description of the film for those that have not seen the original but as I said above it’s basically the same as the director (Travis Z) used the same script that Eli Roth did in 2002. Will they survive until the next day? What is causing the disease to spread in the first place? If things didn’t seem bad enough, they are repeatedly terrorized by a dog that has also contradicted the rage inducing disease. After one of them becomes infected, they are forced to quarantine her in an outdoor shed. The strange sheriff, who for whatever reason acts more like a stripper promises that she will send a tow truck in the morning. For some reason that means they must now stay in the cabin and rot. They accidentally kill the man and inadvertently damage their only vehicle. This happens after coming into contact with a man who had previously contracted the virus. They are exposed to a flesh eating virus from a hidden source. If you’ve seen the original then there really isn’t any purpose for this film to exist, it’s almost an exact shot for shot remake which as we all know is the worst type of remake there is.Ī group of college students head out to a secluded cabin in the woods for a weekend of partying. Its 2016 so that can mean only one thing for Cabin Fever, a pointless remake! Two years after its release we had movies like SAW and others which were making a killing at the box office. I don’t think it’s unfair to say that it had a hand in bringing the “splatter film” to mainstream audiences. Whether you’re a fan of that movie or not there is no denying that it had a couple of memorable moments. I hope it is one day given true justice.It has been 14 years since the release of Eli Roth’s cult classic, Cabin Fever. Could of been the next Tremors or Wrong Turn series. It's perfect, and such a missed opportunity. Think about it! You can follow the virus as it evolves throughout different parts of the world. Fuck, that movie sucked even worse!Ĭabin Fever is such a brilliant idea for a fun goofy anthology series. Ugh that movie sucks.īut it gets worse! Instead of fixing anything that was broken, they decide to remake the original shot for shot with the same script (except they cut about 90 pages), a genderswapped police officer with no character or charm, and called it good.

Heck, I even like the sequel for what it is.īut then the third one, the prequel came out and took a massive shit on everything and everyone it touched. It's just a fun love letter to horror and comedies before it and it's done so very well. I could go on and on about the Cabin Fever series, and so I will.
