The Cabin Fever franchise receiving its first official remake has improved but ultimately disappointing additions. It retells the original story involving a group of misbehaving college students having the unfortunate contact with a vague bacterial infection but not any better.

The film doesn't discover its true identity, or delivers what fans and newcomers deserved, until its final sequences that somehow outdoes the original.
