Review of Cabin Fever (2016) by Jamess — 01 Aug 2016
Has Eli Roth given up completely? His Cannibal Holocaust homage, The Green Inferno, and his remake of an obscure Sandra Locke film, Knock Knock, both landed with resounding thuds. Now as executive producer, he's given us a direct remake of his 2002 Cabin Fever.
Whereas the Evil Dead (which influenced Cabin Fever) reboot gave us the original story with twists and actual tension, Cabin Fever plays out like a community theater version of the original. What made the original memorable was it felt down and dirty, with a bit of sadistic glee and black humor.
This is the most useless exercise since Gus Van Sant's color version of Psycho. This makes the upcoming Death Wish remake (another remake?!!) with Bruce Willis sounding worse and worse.
