10 Upcoming Film Sequels And Reboots That Nobody Wants (But Will Make Money Anyway)

Never trust a remake that uses the original film’s script with just enough changes to make it “contemporary.” More often than not, you’ll end up watching a pale facsimile like Piranha (1995), Humanoids From The Deep (1996) or Psycho (1998).

Released in the UK on 27 June, Cabin Fever is a remake of Eli Roth’s 2002 movie about college graduates that encounter a flesh-eating virus at a mountain cabin. Whatever your opinion of Roth’s version, it at least had verve and personality. This doesn’t.

Numbing in its soullessness, this reboot not only fails to bring anything new to the party but it’s so flat and dispiriting that you’ll be convinced you’re watching a cheap knock-off from The Asylum. Characters you couldn’t care less about wander through a narrative that’s been nipped and tucked to remove all the racial and homophobic slurs, and in the process the filmmakers have somehow excised whatever charm the original possessed.
