The remake fever is reaching a point where it seems that there is no criterion or logic for making a remake that goes beyond the decision to do so. But worse than that are the remakes that virtually do not add or alter anything to the original film, limiting themselves to remaking it in the same way it was initially made, only worse. This is precisely what we see in this film, where Travis Zariwny made a worsened version of Eli Roth's 2002 film.
I will not waste time summarizing the plot because I think the best thing is to see the 2002 film. Both films have exactly the same story and this film went so far as to copy dialogues. I need to say more? It is not a remake... it is a copy, almost an act of plagiarism. The cast is also forgettable. Gage Golightly is only there to appear naked, Matthew Daddario and Samuel Davis have no presence and the rest just say their lines and die, in the bloodiest way possible, because that is what matters and what the public wants, the director thinks.
The film is very low budget and seems, to some extent, made to raise money or as a school test for some group of film students. Everything stinks of amateurism in this dull and revolting film that is so unnecessary. Not even the actors' effects and makeup work, everything seems fake and artificial, or exaggerated to the limit. Decidedly, a movie to avoid.
