#DENNIS CABIN FEVER PANCAKES MOVIE#

Later that night the group are sitting around the campfire, telling stories and drinking, when Justin (played by director Eli Roth himself) and his dog Dr Mambo show up, looking for someone to share their weed with. Bert runs off, with promises of bringing back help, but he either forgets or has no intention of calling someone, and doesn’t seem to give the infected man who knows where they’re staying a second thought. While the hermit is obviously pissed off that he’s been shot, he’s also quite obviously infected with some soft of skin-eating disease. In typical ‘only character without a romantic storyline’ fashion, Bert goes off on his own and makes bad decisions, one of which is accidentally shooting the hermit from the beginning of the film.

When we arrive at the cabin Jeff and Marcy immediately start having sex, Bert heads off into the woods to shoot some squirrels with his air rifle, and Paul decides to pine over Karen, who he has fancied since they were kids but has yet to make a move. The weirdest thing about them is Dennis, the son of one of the shop workers who likes to bite people who sit next to him.

The hillbillies are a little bit Royston Vasey, very casually racist, but not overly murderous like a lot of horror movies. The group are on their way to a cabin in the middle of the woods (standard) and stop at a small store on the way which is run by country bumpkin-type folk (again, standard) to pick up some supplies for their trip. I wonder how many groups of young people have spent the last few weeks of their lives studying for exams for no reason because they’ll be dead soon? So many horror movies start this way. We then cut to a group of college kids loaded into a car, celebrating the end of their finals.

In his bid to rouse the dog, he causes it to split open and gush blood all over his face. This thing looks like it died about a month ago, and he’s there trying to tempt it with a tasty snack. A hermit who is smart enough to kill a rabbit, but not smart enough to realise that his dog is super dead from about a mile away. However, when the remake popped up on Netflix a couple of weeks ago, I thought I would give it a watch and see how the two movies matched up against each other.Ĭabin Fever opens with a hermit roaming the forest. Films that I went to see at the cinema are now being remade, which does nothing to make me feel less old.

The fact that Cabin Fever (2002) has already been remade is even more shocking because it only came out 16 years ago. In this edition of Sometimes They Come Back, we’re looking at something that comes up quite a lot in horror movies – a remake that is basically a shot-for-shot re-do of the original movie, and leaves you questioning why they thought it was a good idea in the first place *cough* Psycho (1998) *cough*.

Sometimes They Come Back is here to take a look at the horror genre and its love for remakes!
