It’s no accident either as director Travis Zariwny is using the original script by Roth and Randy Pearlstein – a fact that makes it all the more strange that this version manages none of Roth’s already minor accomplishments. Sure they’re narrative duds, but they at least made sense in the grand scheme.Ī fourth movie hits screens today, but rather than explore the story in one direction or another this Cabin Fever is actually a near beat-for-beat remake of Roth’s original. Neither managed to recreate Roth’s raw, manic mayhem, but they both upped the gross, body-centric gore for those of us into that sort of thing. Like any moderately successful genre film it also started its own franchise with both a sequel and a prequel hitting home video in the years since. Sure it’s heavily flawed, but it’s also a nasty little shocker that accomplishes its admittedly slight goals with a messy efficiency. It also introduced us, without reason or explanation, to the “pancakes!” kid. As a debut it marked Roth as an energetic film maker to watch, the practical makeup/gore effectively played up the always-disturbing body-horror angle, and it put a fresh spin on the cabin-in-the-woods scenario by avoiding both slasher killers and the supernatural. Eli Roth is a director who truly pushes the limits of an R-rating, and this was just a good opportunity for a director who has dealt with his share of censorship to get back some glory on Cabin Fever.Whether or not you’re a fan of Eli Roth’s 2002 feature, Cabin Fever, there are elements that make it one of the early 21st century’s more memorable horror films. Roth's vision was restored via the film's Blu-Ray release, but he didn't cut together a new version of the movie for the home video market-it already existed. The extended version with these additional scenes is actually Eli Roth's original cut of the movie that he took to film festivals before it was acquired by Lionsgate and edits were made. There may only be a few alterations, but altogether they work to create a much more nihilistic movie. It makes the same point, but in a much bleaker way and on a very sped-up timeline. It’s not just the police that enjoy some of the tainted lemonade, but instead it’s the entire town. The unrated version also features an altered ending that’s much grander in scope. If nothing else, the inclusion of these scenes at least speaks to Roth’s ability as a filmmaker-they’re not just sloppy mistakes on his part. These missing scenes actually provide a context for who that body is, even if it doesn't happen to be an important character. The theatrical version still contains a moment where the deputies discuss a body that's been found in the basement, but there are no further details provided. It solves the problem, but the scene also contained a wealth of viscera and gore all over the walls that were likely too much for an R-rating.

A follow-up deleted scene shows the cops taking no chances with the contents of the basement they blast the room full of shotgun fire, then set the whole thing ablaze.
