Plots(1)
Five college friends head up to a remote cabin in the woods by an idyllic sun-drenched lake for a hedonistic weekend of booze-fuelled sex. However, when they are interrupted by an unwelcome visitor, a local hobo with a rotting and infested skin virus, they decide to get rid of him, but unwittingly end up contaminating the water when his body ends up in the lake. The friends soon find themselves desperate for water and as the contamination spreads and the in-fighting escalates they discover that each of them will stop at absolutely nothing to survive.

I no longer remember the original, so I won't compare here which is better and worse, let everyone judge for themselves. The downside is that the film moves quite slowly nothing significant happens for almost 50 minutes, not that I was bored, but filmed lacked the drive the trailer promised. Things looked much more promising with the arrival of the infection, but apart from the rotting and decomposing flesh, there is no much gore. The scene with the dog is underused and overall they could have done a lot more here, hence there’s no celebration. At least it is nicely shot, the music is nicely intense and there are two solid sex scenes, so it is undoubtedly better than average, but it had more more potential. The film is also overly naive and too forced towards the end, so anyone who is bothered by illogical behaviour and kitsch will probably complain. Considering that I've only liked Southbound this year, Cabin Fever is one of the better horror films so far. Story 4/10, Atmosphere 5/10, Gore 6/10, Visuals 7/10, Action 6/10, Suspense 5/10,Humor 5/10. Entertainment 6/10. 60%.

2016's Cabin Fever is a completely unnecessary film that demonstrates Americans lacking taste in horror, and it seems they are desperately running out of ideas when they decide to remake something like this. But then there’s also Spider-Man. Cabin Fever is a laughable film, it absolutely fails to captivate, and, most importantly, it doesn't even attempt to bring anything new to the table, which would at least somewhat differentiate it from the original.

A festival of idiocy, both in the terrible characters, as well as in the terrible creators. Enough said.
