If it's crap ... We'll tell you

In 2002, a young horror director by the name of Eli Roth gave us a flesh-eating virus film entitled 'Cabin Fever.' It garnered a modest fan base and even spawned a sequel, 2009's 'Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever.' Now it appears we will be getting not one, but two new 'Cabin Fever' films. The Indomina Group will be shooting a pair of prequels next spring in the Dominican Republican. 'Cabin Fever: Patient Zero' will weave the tale of a cruise ship that collides with a research vessel creating the disease featured in the original 'Cabin Fever.' This will be followed by 'Cabin Fever: Outbreak' about a researcher sent to the Caribbean to investigate a flu outbreak which turns out to be, you guessed it, a flesh-eating virus. 'Patient Zero' will be written by Jake Wade Wall ('The Hitcher') while Adam and Deborah Marcus are scripting 'Outbreak.'
As much as I enjoy 'Cabin Fever,' 'Cabin Fever 2' is garbage. I feel the studio is vastly overestimating the franchise potential of 'Cabin Fever.' We don't need one more film in this series let alone two prequels. The fact that 'Cabin Fever: Patient Zero' is being written by the writer of 'The Hitcher' remake further fails to instill confidence. The scariest part of all of this is that there is no mention in this story of a theatrical release date. Will these films be direct-to-video? As a horrorphile, I really want to support this project, but it seems to be showing all the symptoms of a doomed venture.
What do you guys think?

Comment by Anthony Piseno on November 1, 2011 at 6:18pm Sorry to say but when I saw the first Cabin Fever I immediatly gave it a place amongst one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. Why would they ever make anytype of sequel or prequel for that matter is beyond me. Part of the reason I don't like it is because of the disease it potrays, which is an actually disease and is way over embellishes. I should know because someone very close to me died of it. Because of this potrayle of a disease I bared witness to I have a hard time with this film. So that is another reason why it is bad movie to me, But for the most part I can't stand movies that are so cliche with idiot teenagers and over embellished gore, Cabin Fever was horrible, but then again Eli Roth made it, so how good could it really have been?
