If you recall, back in March Roth said he was “blown away” by the remake. The redo of Eli Roth’s 2002 film of the same name stars Gage Golightly, Matthew Daddario, Samuel Davis, Nadine Crocker, and Dustin Ingram. What’s surprising are the ingenious new deaths, which offer a fresh spin on a horror-comedy milestone.” “ The story is familiar: fresh out of college, a group of five friends retreat to a remote cabin in the woods for one last week of partying-only to become snacks for a gruesome, flesh-eating virus. IFC Midnight is behind the new Cabin Fever, which is a near word-for-word remake Travis Z’s take is from a screenplay by Eli Roth & Randy Pearlstein (based on a story by Roth). I’d actually recommend it, although I didn’t like it that much.Check out all three alternate one-sheets for Travis Z’s Cabin Fever remake ( read our review and a second opinion), now on all VOD platforms. Overall, it’s an ok throwback to 80’s “cabin-in-the-woods” movies, it is fun if you look past all the idiotic shit. Why? Then there’s a shot where a guy has swallowed a harmonica horizontally, which I very much doubt could be possible. So yeah, the gore is good, what I can’t say about a scene where they show a dog’s POV and it’s all tinted red. The special effects are pretty great, like when a girl decides to shave her rotting legs and the result shows that she could’ve basically just used a potato-peeler. You know, a flesh-eating disease isn’t enough, we need some asshole hillbillies as well. I guess it was to accentuate that the townspeople are real rednecks and he’s probably a child of incest. “Pancakes! Pancakes!” a kid in a bad wig at the gas-station screamed for no reason, before busting out in kung-fu moves.

Also he shows up twice in the movie and the second time, which is the next day, his moustache is a lot thicker.
The police deputy character was kind of funny, but then again I felt like being slapped in the face by the total disregard of any realism to introduce another stupid comic relief character. Well, Rider Strong is sort of ok, maybe it’s because of the horrible performances from the others or the fact that I was a fan of Boy Meets World, but he stands out as not irritating.
The acting is pretty bad, but I’m not sure if they are to blame, because it would take good actors to make the script tolerable and they are not good actors. It is not good that you want the protagonists of a horror movie to die. The characters just suck so much, almost everyone is written as an idiot or a dick/bitch. He makes a jarring choice to have a scene where he is playing some bald guy in a campfire story immediately followed by him stumbling in with a fake goatee and acting as a total douchebag. However, I must admit that he’s not all that bad at directing, although at times he’s not great at that either. I’ll start by saying that Eli Roth can’t write dialogue, he seems to have learned how people interact from 80’s slasher movies and haven’t been good at that either.
