Alright, boys, grab a two-four and settle in, ‘cause we’re talkin’ about Cabin Fever (2016), the remake of Eli Roth’s 2002 cult horror flick. And let me tell ya, this one’s like showin’ up to the rink only to realize someone replaced your freshly sharpened skates with a pair of rental boots from the ‘90s—just a painful, unnecessary experience. For those who don’t know, Cabin Fever is about a group of young folks who head out to a remote cabin, only to catch a flesh-eating virus that spreads faster than rumours in the locker room. Now, the original had some charm—some good ol’ practical effects, a sick sense of humour, and enough gore to make you wanna skip the post-game wings. But this remake? It’s basically the same game plan, just executed worse. Let’s break it down: The Good (Barely Clippin’ the Post) The effects are still decent, and yeah, the gore does its job. If you came for some nasty body horror, you’ll get a few moments that might make you turn away from your plate of poutine. The setting still works. A creepy cabin in the woods? Classic horror setup, can’t complain there. Some of the cinematography looks alright. At least it’s watchable, which is more than I can say for my beer league team’s defensive play. The Bad (Missin’ Empty Nets) This is a straight-up copy-paste job from the original, except somehow worse. Same script, same story beats, but with zero energy or charm. It’s like when a team tries to run the same power play as the NHL boys, but they forget they don’t have McDavid. The acting? Oof. Some of these performances are stiffer than my back after a weekend tournament. The characters are just kinda… there. No personality, no reason to care when they start droppin’ like flies. No fun. Horror remakes can work if they add something fresh (Evil Dead 2013, I’m lookin’ at you). But this? It’s like takin’ a beer outta the fridge, only to find out someone drank half of it and filled the rest with water. Final Verdict Cabin Fever (2016) is the definition of "why even bother?" It’s a lifeless rehash of a movie that wasn’t even that old to begin with. If you’ve never seen the original, just watch that instead. And if you have seen it? Then skip this one, crack a cold one, and put on something actually worth your time—maybe even a good ol’ hockey fight compilation. 2/5. Only worth watchin’ if you’re too deep into the beers and don’t feel like changin’ the channel. --- Deer Hair Pads Review. Follow on Facebook & Instagram

‘Cabin Fever’ was released back in 2002. And again in 2016. However, about the only thing about the 2016 version is that it forces us to ask that most existential question: how can something be exactly the same yet completely different? The 2002 film has gone down as a cult classic. And for good reason – it’s awesome! Okay, if you’re into cheesy horror films with teens dying in various gruesome ways then it’s awesome. It takes the – oh so familiar – premise of a group of annoyingly beautiful teenagers going on vacation to a remote cabin in the woods and then meeting a sticky end. Nothing new there, but it’s just the way it’s done. It knows it’s not original and often plays on the clichés you’d normally find with the genre, plus it throws in some truly random and surreal moments just to keep the audience on their toes. And not they’ve gone and remade it. And a remake it literally is. They’ve used the same script as the original, sticking to the same running order of scenes and same dialogue (or at least 90% of each). Therefore, it just feels weird watching a film you know really well, only with new actors speaking all the lines. Just pick your favourite film then imagine watching it with new actors reading the same words just slightly differently. It would probably be a bit disorientating and off-putting and you’d probably just end up thinking, why am I watching this? Well, that’s how this remake comes across. It’s not even like the actors are that good. They all look as uncomfortable as we – the audience – probably feel watching them. They have no chemistry and come across like they’re all starring in a different film to each other. Plus the gore looks cheaper than the original – seriously, there’s an animal in the opening scene that looks like a blood-soaked children’s puppet you’d see on kids’ 온라인카지노추천. I loved the original and regularly watch it. This version brings nothing new to the genre. If you’re a horror film, just watch the original. This one is possibly the most pointless remake ever (with the possible exception of that ‘Psycho’ remake in the late nineties).

Why 2016's 'Cabin Fever' even exists is beyond me. But it does. SYNOPSIS: 'While staying at a remote cabin for a week-long vacation, a group of five college friends succumb to an infectious, flesh-eating disease.' Why would you remake a film from 2002 14 years after it's released? Worse still, you use the same screenplay and script as the first film. It's a carbon copy but without the special touch of Eli Roth. Roth's original film was something unique at the time and he, as a director, made his mark in Hollywood. This has none of that originality, obviously, and has been turned into a totally bland horror movie. Completely pointless. Dreadful 1/10

Un remake qui ne possède aucune identité propre et qui reprend scène par scène l'original. En revanche l'humour de la saga est un peu plus discernable.

it really did not need a remake, the second one needed a remake but not the first

This is the reason why Modern movies are suck.

i dont understand why they made a remake. there was a 3rd sequel to this just 2 years prior to this one. i mean they pretty much copied dam near word for word of the original movie with minor changes. also scene for scene as the original. you had a decent cast here. you couldnt just come up with your own script. It was was really pointless to make this film other than stealing someone elses movie to make money off it.

It wasn't actually that bad.Ive seen allot worse remakes than this

I enjoyed watching it but I didn't realize I wasn't watching the original. Makes the lady cop character even funnier realizing she was originally a man and they didn't really change anything about the character. The tone was kind of weird because the first half was so ridiculous I didn't realize I was watching an actual horror movie, then as it went on it got very gory and somewhat upsetting but there were still a few jokes thrown in here and there. I'm sure the original is better but I thought this was fine.

Great movie if you ever thought... I want to see the original, only with worse acting and completely ruin the characters and charm that made the original good. New Dennis sucks. New Winston sucks. There's nothing good about the town folk at all.

Absolutely awful. Low budget. Diabolical acting.

Adoro o estilo terror no meio do nada, assassino sangrento, interior sulista, preconceito, jovens desmiolados, o bom que não ficamos com pena das mortes sanguinárias, até torcemos pelos assassinos, e já sabemos quem morre e quem sobrevive apos muita lutar por suas vidas… Clichê, trabalhado na ironia, quase trash, eu amo assim mesmo… Trilha sonora me remeteu a "Lost", não com a mesma maestria, mas adorável, guardada as devidas proporções…

I wish I could rate this less than half a star! Absolutely horrendous acting, how are movies this bad even released haha director needs a new job I think

If I could give this ZERO stars, I would (RT has changed over the years). None of the Cabin Fever movies were any good, not even the first one (I don't care how "better" it is compared to this), but this movie...I can't think if it's worse or even just as bad as the second one (the one with the prom/dance). It's a note-by-note remake of the first one, which means everything you see in the first film is present here, with little to no changes (the only real changes are the deputy's change of sex, and the "iconic" pancakes scene). It tried to be more gory and horror, like The Evil Dead Remake, but it failed on that part remarkably. Don't waste your time. They should've just given Patient Zero a sequel instead.

While being an alright remake it lacks everything the original had- humour and lots of gore. Also YOU CAN'T REPLACE WINSTON! I'm sure this change was made as Giuseppe went dark unfortunately but still, leave him out. It is also way way to serious for a cabin fever film.

No need for a quarantine -- enthusiasm for this inert remake is not contagious.

Holy shit. By far one of the WORST remakes I've ever seen. I understand it's not a reboot, it's a remake. But fuck dude, you don't film each scene the exact same scene as the original but with shitty acting and absolute no humor at all. I'm just... I hate this. Only reason it got the 1 star treatment and not a .5 is because some of that musical score was really hair raising.... until the characters started talking again

Just a bunch of unnecessary gore and a poor storyline and script with bad acting...not much to enjoy here!

This movie proves that with a budget of $100, some ham and ketchup, an Air bnb and an iPhone - anything is possible. Props to the actors for working with what they were given.

I went in not knowing it was a remake and was treated to a self-serious horror film that would work better as a black comedy.
