A group of colleges students on a weekend getaway in a remote cabin are exposed to a flesh eating virus, killing them one by one.
Initially a fourth film, entitled Outbreak, was planned with the story taking place on a cruise ship. The film was supposed to be filmed back-to-back with Cabin Fever: Patient Zero, but these plans eventually fell through. and the idea of a remake was formed.
The film is unique in that it uses the same script as Roth's original, although director Travis Z trimmed the page count from 134 to only 92. Z also discussed and incorporated aspects that Roth wanted to include in the original but wasn't able to. One notable change is that Deputy Winston, a male (portrayed by Giuseppe Andrews) in the first and second films, is now played by a female (portrayed by Louise Linton). Z claimed he made this choice because "There was no way for me to emulate Giuseppe's performance."
Principal photography took place in Portland, Oregon in February 2015.
In September 2015, IFC Midnight acquired North American distribution rights to the film, The film was released in a limited release and through video on demand on February 12, 2016.
