The film stars Samuel Davis, Gage Golightly, Matthew Daddario, Nadine Crocker, and Dustin Ingram.

In the woods, a hermit named Henry discovers his dog has died from a mysterious illness and is sprayed by its blood.

Five young friends, Paul, Karen, Bert, Jeff and Marcy have rented a cabin in the same woods for a week-long vacation.

Marcy and Paul lament their poor chances of surviving and have sex, believing they won't live long enough to regret it.

Marcy draws a bath and shaves her legs, causing the infected flesh to gruesomely peel from her body.

His gun is empty and since he's unable to finish the job of splitting her face with a shovel, Paul sets the shed on fire and watches in horror as Karen is burned alive.

He finds the corpses of his friends and Tommy's accomplices, and rejoices in having survived the ordeal himself, until he sees signs of the infection on his hand.

Back at the cabin, as the authorities and a hazmat crew clean up the scene, it's revealed that Jeff's corpse landed near the lake, which is now infected with his blood.

By this point, Indomina had moved on from the project, while Cassian Elwes and Evan Astrowsky boarded the film as producers.

[12] That same month, Teen Wolf actress Gage Golightly, Dustin Ingram, Samuel Davis, Matthew Daddario, and Nadine Cocker joined the cast, while Chris Lemole and Tim Zajaros signed on to produce the film alongside Astrowsky, while Elwes and Roth would act as executive producers.

[13] Impressed with Zariwny's pitch, Roth decided to join the film, but had no involvement due to his obligations to South of Hell.

In this version, the character of Deputy Winston is gender-swapped, this time played by Louise Linton, a frequent collaborator of Zariwny.

[21] Geoff Berkshire of Variety gave the film a negative review, writing: "It's little surprise that Roth himself is the exec producer of this nearly beat-for-beat redo.

The silver lining of a day-and-date limited theatrical and VOD release is that there's no chance this repurposed dud duplicates the original's commercial performance.

"[23] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film a score of 1/5 stars, writing: "There is no interesting new slant on this material: it’s just the same old stuff, being served up in a tired and cynical fashion, without anything inventive in the way of humour or fear.

"[24] Martin Tsai of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "One criticism often lobbed against remakes is that they dumb down the originals.
