When I first heard that Eli Roth’s Cabin Fever was being remade, I had to do some serious math in my head. Add the 2, multiply the 4, carry the 3 and……holy shit – it’s been almost 15 years since it was released! Even though that seems like a somewhat high number and makes me feel slightly old, I’m not sure it’s long enough to warrant the remake treatment.

Her infected gams are safe in the top spot, but it’s to no one’s surprise that I hereby proclaim that Rider Strong’s armpits are easily a Great Moment In Horror Hair History!
