Production
Initally a fourth film, Cabin Fever: 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 Eli Roth's original, although director Zariwny trimmed the page count from 134 to only 92. Zariwny 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 in the first film, is now played by a female. Zariwny claimed he made this choice because " There was no way for me to emulate Giuseppe’s performance" Shooting for the film took place in Portland, Oregon, in February 2015.
