The horrific movie explores a new version of the 2002 movie, 'Cabin Fever', as it deals with the story of a group of friends after they graduate from college. Now, friends retreat to a remote cabin in the woods for last week's party, but the getaway plan is completely exhausted. The reason appears mysterious, but over time they discover the emergence of the violent flesh virus.
Roth isn't exactly known for being critically defensible or for exercising directorial restraint, but Travis Z somehow manages to up the gore quotient.
The trouble with "Cabin Fever" is there is no spontaneity, every beat and every gag stodgily telegraphed by its familiar source material. The film is occasionally jolting in its gruesomeness, but terminally by-the-numbers.
Amid all the screaming adolescents and mangy dogs, there's little sense why we needed a remake. Surely the target demographic is capable of tracking the original down?
