Clarence H. A bland & forgettable remake that offers no truly interesting twists to the story. Don’t waste your time on this. Just rewatch the 2002 original which is far superior.

I am not sure why this was made, it’s almost exactly the same plot with more homogenized characters and scenes. If someone wants to do a scene-by-scene remake that’s fine, but the original still wasn’t all that dated.

And let me tell ya, this one’s like showin’ up to the rink only to realize someone replaced your freshly sharpened skates with a pair of rental boots from the ‘90s—just a painful, unnecessary experience. For those who don’t know, Cabin Fever is about a group of young folks who head out to a remote cabin, only to catch a flesh-eating virus that spreads faster than rumours in the locker room. Now, the original had some charm—some good ol’ practical effects, a sick sense of humour, and enough gore to make you wanna skip the post-game wings. But this remake? It’s basically the same game plan, just executed worse. Let’s break it down: The Good (Barely Clippin’ the Post) The effects are still decent, and yeah, the gore does its job. If you came for some nasty body horror, you’ll get a few moments that might make you turn away from your plate of poutine. The setting still works. A creepy cabin in the woods? Classic horror setup, can’t complain there. Some of the cinematography looks alright. At least it’s watchable, which is more than I can say for my beer league team’s defensive play. The Bad (Missin’ Empty Nets) This is a straight-up copy-paste job from the original, except somehow worse. Same script, same story beats, but with zero energy or charm. It’s like when a team tries to run the same power play as the NHL boys, but they forget they don’t have McDavid. The acting? Oof. Some of these performances are stiffer than my back after a weekend tournament. The characters are just kinda… there. No personality, no reason to care when they start droppin’ like flies. No fun. Horror remakes can work if they add something fresh (Evil Dead 2013, I’m lookin’ at you). But this? It’s like takin’ a beer outta the fridge, only to find out someone drank half of it and filled the rest with water. Final Verdict Cabin Fever (2016) is the definition of "why even bother?" It’s a lifeless rehash of a movie that wasn’t even that old to begin with. If you’ve never seen the original, just watch that instead. And if you have seen it? Then skip this one, crack a cold one, and put on something actually worth your time—maybe even a good ol’ hockey fight compilation. 2/5. Only worth watchin’ if you’re too deep into the beers and don’t feel like changin’ the channel. --- Deer Hair Pads Review.
