Cabin Fever is probably just a south-'merican, money laundering tax-scam.
To be honest - I don't mind the concept of remaking - depending on how good it is. I quite liked the original and will give this a go just to see it... But whilst the acting was a bit ropey in the original (at times), these guys look like amateurs compared to the original cast.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, this kind of production will only pick up speed and films will become somewhat like Theatre is - the global audience is up for grabs and a short-production, low-outlay for the international PPV/Cable audience can still give a return.
Whilst Cabin Fever is hardly a classic - it does, have a decent plot and storyline - it isn't a bad story by any means.
I've always championed 'remaking' - but I won't drone on about it again for the sake of Titi's tits.
