At the least, it makes one appreciate even a tiny bit more the macabre cleverness behind the story's set-up and execution, a filthy mess of social class tensions and grotesque acts of humanity, where the answer to putting someone out of their misery is setting them on fire. The film does make a convincing nudge for Roth appreciation, showing the confidence of Roth's debut by lacking much of its own. Director Travis Z's version of "Cabin Fever" does not end with a lemonade stand. As the characters do so during the story's sometimes muffled slow burn, Roth's charcoal sense of humor is missing, the cruel irony lacking its hellish zing. We know the cause of the virus comes from the lake long before they do (whether you've seen the original or not) and we wait for them to in all literal senses fall apart. A pale band of college-age people (played here by Gage Golightly, Matthew Daddario, Nadine Crocker, Dustin Ingram and Samuel Davis) venture out from the city to the countryside, fool around in a place by the lake (don't let the title fool you, this is a lake house) and most detrimentally of all, drink the water. The drama involves the characters going through the same motions as Roth's movie, a fatalistic course of events where terrible luck, ugly compassion and a tsunami of blood meet. For slight rebranding, the events are all bookended on more serious notes, which creates an overall ho-hum affair out of young people being slowly skinned alive. At least, some characters die in different ways, and one of the bigger characters (a deputy) has been recast as a woman.

The prequel film was released to negative reviews, and its monetary statistics indicate that it earned the studio income through home video sales. 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.
