Cabin Fever (franchise)

Cabin Fever is a series of American comedy horror films, including the original theatrical release, two straight-to-home media releases with a sequel and a prequel that both received limited theatrical releases, and one theatrical remake. Created by Eli Roth, the plot centers around groups of people who contract an extremely deadly flesh-eating disease, and their attempts to survive its symptoms.

The original film was met with a generally mixed critical reception, though it was deemed a success at the box office. The second installment received an even more derived critical response, and though it earned less than its predecessor it earned a profit for the studios. The prequel film was released to negative reviews, and its monetary statistics indicate that it earned the studio income through home video sales. The 2016 remake received the least positive reception of the entire franchise, considered to be inferior to the original, and also performed poorly financially.
