Despite the comedic elements to it, the 2002 film was one that really got underneath your skin (no pun intended), that had an eerie-creepy sort of feel to it that stuck with you long after it was over. The scare factor in the remake was very minimal in my opinion. There also seemed to be much more blood in the remake than the original. However, there was one kill in the remake that I did think was very well-done and do give the film makers and actress props for making such a harrowing scene. The kills are way more gruesome including one that was completely unnecessary and made no sense. The gore has definitely been taken up a notch in the 2016 version, with some rather sickening scenes. While the new setting is very eye-catching, it gives an unnatural and fake sort of feel to the film. The general store looks very different and the woods almost resemble a jungle. Also, the film has very rich, vivid colors throughout giving it a modernized kind of atmosphere. Of course the setting is quite different in the remake, with a crazy, huge mansion sort of cabin set on a beautiful lake. The score in the remake features mostly fast, edgy sort of songs that give the film more of a fast-paced, action-y feel to it. However, in the remake, the same jokes seemed forced and out-of-place. The 2002 film has a slower start to it, and was able to subtly throw in jokes and random scenes with it just feeling natural. The movie itself has a very different tone to it than the original, with a more serious feel to things and a faster sort of pace. However, there were ample changes to the film and you can clearly tell the differences. The remake was released just a mere fourteen years after the original film and mostly follows the same script. While Eli Roth fully supported the unexpected remake of his 2002 film ‘Cabin Fever’, many fans did not.
