Cabin Fever (2016)

The film industry must be in real crisis if average films are being remade after little more then a decade. The original was an OK film, I wouldn't have said it was a classic, and this remake seems so unnecessary, it doesn't differentiate from the original in any way, it doesn't bring anything new or different, it's basically remade word for word. The gore scenes are somewhat improved, a little more dramatic, and the dog scene is more dramatic.I have so very little to say here, as I didn't enjoy it all that much, it seems only a few years ago that I went to the Cinema to watch the original, I find it more disappointing that new ideas simply aren't there, there surely has to be a vast undiscovered writing talent out there.mehh, 3/10

Before watching this I thought a remake seemed a little pointless, but afterwards I was amazed. It was actually far worse than I expected. There is nothing good in this garbage fire, it adds nothing to the original.

If you've seen the original Cabin Fever from 2002 then there's really no reason to see this one because it's the same movie. Different actors but with just a few minor changes from the original it's literally shot for shot, line for line the same exact movie. There was no reason for this movie to be made. The original is no classic nor was there an audience clamoring for an updated version. It's only 14 years later. Had they changed the story in some way like the recent remake of the Evil Dead it might have at least been able to say that it was it's own story but no. This is exactly the same. Well actually not quite because compared to this one, the original is better and that's not something I'd ever thought I'd say about the 2002 version.The actors in this are bland and honestly don't act like normal people. In one scene one of the guys brings out an assault rifle, mirroring the BB gun scene in the original movie. But this time it goes off accidentally, almost hitting one of his friends. The reaction? An almost bored, "keep that thing away from me" instead of the adrenaline pumping scene that this would have been in reality.All in all, there is no reason to see this unless you just really need to see a bloodier version of the original.

Kids go to a cabin in Hillbilly Woods at the onset of a viral outbreak that causes the flesh to rot and animals to go mad. This is a reboot of the original (same names too) and I am not sure why other than the fact idiots like me will watch it. I really wasn't a big fan of the original series, and was hoping this one would offer us something new besides Nadine Crocker's tatas. Deputy Winston (Louise Linton) changed genders and promised us some hot scenes that never happened. More horror than humor.It has been less than 20 years since the original film came out, and I think that reboots before that time span should simply be called "do-overs." If you missed the first series and have an opportunity to catch this one, why not...otherwise you might wait to see it free sometime.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity
