Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Upon first viewing the Cabin Fever remake, I legitimately thought that I was playing Eli Roth's original when clicking play on Netflix. It's been so many years from first viewing the original that it took nearly 30 minutes for me to realize that the film I was watching was a recycled, useless remake. Who in the world would pretty much follows Roth's script to a tee when the story wasn't even groundbreaking to begin with? These are the type of projects that lack vision, emit no feeling or fright, and they waste a bunch of space for potential original horror content in this great genre.
Unlike the original that had some scenes that were extremely whacky, this version didn't take a shot at one ballsy scene. The film felt like a total hack recreation but some super fans. Aside from hating the movie, there are a few positive aspects of the film being Gage Golightly and Nadine Crocker. Without those actresses' stunning screen presence and quality performances this would have been a total catastrophe to watch. I never felt so stupid watching a movie A.) not knowing the film was the remake and B.) the storyline rotted my brain.

I am a fan of Eli Roth. I really did enjoy the original Cabin Fever even though it had some flaws (what movie doesn't), and his movies keep getting better. Why was this horrible re-make done? The plot is similar to the original, but the chemistry between the cast is not there. Actually it's painful to watch these people trying to behave like they are best friends!! I have seen also the 2nd and the 3rd movie and they were Oscar-winners compared to this mess.

The Cabin Fever franchise receiving its first official remake has improved but ultimately disappointing additions. It retells the original story involving a group of misbehaving college students having the unfortunate contact with a vague bacterial infection but not any better. It proceeds with the same material less with creativity and more with similarities. While certain elements are sometimes intriguing, they're too repetitive with not enough surprises or enthusiasm even with its cast. Although not worse than the franchise's second and third entries, it's simply not recommended unless the other installments are ignored. The film doesn't discover its true identity, or delivers what fans and newcomers deserved, until its final sequences that somehow outdoes the original.It's the same disease, but less effective.
