![]() Then, one by one, the cabin dwellers are hideously infected.Īlmost a shot-by-shot redo, “Cabin Fever” (2016) is just like “Cabin Fever” (2002), except not as funny. Roth, who also created the “Hostel” torture porn films of the noughties and is buddies with Quentin Tarantino, is from Newton. But I hung in there for the entire one-hour, 38-minute running time during which the cabin residents are visited by a weed-bearing camper named Grim (Tim Zajaros) and his dog. Hilarious.Īfter Zariwny lifts the opening shots of Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining,” he gives a shout-out to John Boorman’s “Deliverance” in a scene featuring a boy in a paper bunny mask, who likes to bite people and does not play a banjo. He inadvertently shoots someone in the woods. Bert (Dustin Ingram) is the funny guy who brought an assault rifle, if you think that’s funny.

This new “Cabin Fever,” directed by Travis Z (aka Zariwny), once again recycles the tropes of the low-budget gore fests of the 1970s, such as Wes Craven’s trendsetting “The Last House on the Left” (1972). “Cabin Fever” (also available starting today on Video On Demand) is an Eli Roth-produced remake of Roth’s 2002 directing debut “Cabin Fever.” The original film was a surprise hit and spawned a sequel, Ti West’s 2009 “Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever.”
