A cabin in the woods … one of the best Petri dishes for growing Horror cultures. For Episode 008 of Horror Movie Weekly, Lady Phantom has chosen to review the inexplicable remake, “Cabin Fever” (2016). Your hilarious late-night Horror hosts, your Triad of Terror — Jay of the Dead, BillChete and Lady Phantom — have some pretty funny debates surrounding the character actions in this infected narrative, including the veracity and validity of enjoying one last roll in the hay for the road when the chips are down. Plus, it’s humorous to hear Jay navigate through some surprisingly personal questions. We also discuss this film’s astoundingly unmerciful mercy killing — one for the ages. Join us!

Note: This review contains mild to moderate spoilers for a film that’s a fairly faithful remake of Eli Roth’s “Cabin Fever” (2002).
