![]() As a director and general pop culture figure, Roth has ended up somewhat divisive, in a manner akin to someone like Rob Zombie. A Cabin Fever remake is about to go into production in Portland using the exact same script Eli Roth and Randy Pearlstein co-penned for the 2002 original. Cabin Fever is not a masterpiece and I dont think it deserved a remake.So the acting here is bad,they added a lot of bad ideas and the movie is a close copy of the entire first film. Cabin Fever, by contrast, will likely be expected to sink or swim strictly on its own merits. Despite being released to theaters in 2003, Cabin Fever ended up getting a remake in 2016, and here's why Eli Roth signed off on the project. Watch the first trailer for the Eli Roth-produced Cabin Fever remake, directed by Travis Zariwny from the original script for Roths 2002 cult favorite. While he remains a popular figure among horror fans, the mixed reception for Roth's more recent efforts, like the cannibal social-satire The Green Inferno and the erotic thriller Knock Knock, has not resulted in the kind of raised profile Cabin Fever and Hostel once did. While a remake of the similarly cabin-centric Evil Dead was a box-office hit in 2013, that franchise had been buoyed for years by a fiercely devoted fanbase and its own pair of even more popular sequels. Whether or not audiences are hungry for a fresh take on the still fairly recent and well-known film remains unclear. ![]() While the original film was popular with horror fans and some critics, many also raised concerns about the script's mean-spirited nature and unsympathetic treatment of its female characters - criticisms that have followed Roth through much of his career (particularly regarding the two Hostel films.) A pair of sequels, Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever and Cabin Fever: Patient Zero were later produced by other filmmakers without Roth's direct involvement. ![]() Roth famously wrote the original film in 1995 while a student at NYU, but found himself for years unable to sell it to studios, who at the time were unwilling to take a chance on any horror films that didn't follow the self-aware teenage-melodrama angle of the then-popular Scream franchise. ![]()
