Eli Roth, writer and director of the original film, acts as co-writer and executive producer. The film was released on February 12, 2016, by IFC Midnight. The film stars Samuel Davis, Gage Golightly, Matthew Daddario, Nadine Crocker, and Dustin Ingram. A remake of Roth's 2002 film of the same name and the fourth overall installment in the Cabin Fever franchise. I will avoid giving the film a BOMB rating since it's at least professionally made.Cabin Fever is a 2016 American horror film directed by Travis Zariwny (under the pseudonym Travis Z) and written by Eli Roth. His rumor was taken out but the darker elements add up to nothing. CABIN FEVER, the 2016 version, is one of the most unoriginal movies I've ever seen and it's just shocking that Roth would sign off for this type of remake. Even worse is the fact that the film runs the same length, which just goes to show how alike they are. As for the screenplay, as I said, it's pretty much just the original with a few alterations. The kills are slightly different but they're certainly not great enough to save the picture. Everything else is exactly like the original movie so what was the point? If you've seen the original then you're just going to be bored by what you see here. This includes an assault rifle being used, stuff like the internet mentioned and the Deputy character is now a woman. It really does seem like the original screenplay was used here with only a few things brought more up=to-date. When I say this is a scene-for-scene remake I'm not kidding. At least the original film had two sequels that at least tried to be different or do something slightly original. For the life of me I can't understand what Roth and company were trying to do with this film. ![]() That's certainly not the case here because what we basically have is a scene-for-scene remake. I'm a huge defender of remakes because quite often they're at least more original than sequels, which usually just copy the first movie. I've seen worse film but I've never seen such a pointless remake in my life. Roth was involved in this one and had spent several months really pushing for people to give this film a chance but the end result is without question one of the biggest disasters in recent horror history. This is a remake of the 2002 Eli Roth film that put that director on the map and helped bring in some "frat boy" type of horror movies.
