![]() ![]() They’re soon run off from the store owner after catching Bert attempting to steal a candy bar. He also gets scolded by the boy’s father when suggesting to reign in his kid. Their vacation begins auspiciously when, upon stopping by a convenience store, Paul befriends a creepy boy wearing a paper rabbit mask and for this he gets bitten in the hand because… why the hell not. ![]() The story centers on of five annoying friends - Karen (GAGE GOLIGHTLY), Jeff (MATTHEW DADDARIO), Paul (SAMUEL DAVIS), Marcy (NADINE CROCKER) and the fifth wheel, Bert (DUSTIN INGRIM) - who travel to a remote cabin in the boonies of Oregon for what is supposed to be relaxing weekend of booze and sex. But even if this wasn’t a pointless remake the film is just, simply put, dumb in combination with being an unabashed studio cash grab. Character names haven’t been changes and the premise more or less remains the same with minor alterations. ![]() Cabin Fever the ’16 Edition is, from what I’ve read, a script-for-script remake of the 2003 original.
