The inspiration for the film's story came from a real-life experience during a trip to Iceland when Roth developed a skin infection. The story follows a group of college graduates who rent a cabin in the woods and begin to fall victim to a flesh-eating virus. Maybe rent it if you get the chance.Cabin Fever is a 2002 American horror comedy film co-written and directed by Eli Roth (in his directorial debut) and starring Rider Strong, Jordan Ladd, James DeBello, Cerina Vincent, Joey Kern, and Giuseppe Andrews. But you might watch it anyway just to compare the two. If you are a fan of the original, you probably won't like it much. However, that's not saying much, as they're both pretty shitty. If you've never seen Cabin Fever but plan on watching it, I'd go with the original, as it is the better of the two. Overall, this is a shallow remake of a bad, low budget horror film from 2002. I don't see why this film had to be made. The cinematography was decent and the gore and makeup effects were pretty damn good actually. There are a few minor differences, such as the "party man" cop character is now played by a female, for some reason. Nearly all the scenes of the original are redone shot-for-shot, but they're handled in a much messier manner. The characters are all underdeveloped stereotypes that you really don't care about at all. The acting in this remake is atrocious and the dialogue is even worse. A higher budget doesn't always mean a better film, though. However, this remake does away with that charm as it obviously had a higher budget. There's something about low budget horror films that I like and Cabin Fever had that. If there was one positive thing about the original film, it was that it had that low budget charm to it. Fans of the original probably should stay away. The original Cabin Fever was a pretty bad movie but I wouldn't even recommend this film to Eli Roth fans, as it is a pretty pointless remake. I'll admit I've never been much of an Eli Roth fan. ![]()
