I didn't think the Martyrs remake was abysmal -- it was actually not a bad film -- but it just didn't seem necessary. If you go into it bracing yourself for the endurance test that the original was, you'll walk out disappointed, saying, "Well that was too easy." If it were possible to approach the film without comparing it to the original (which is ludicrous, given how notorious the original is, and recently it was released), it's still a good story, well executed, beautifully filmed, great soundtrack, and despite the lack of gore, the tension is still there. Also, one big change they made to the story allows the personal bond between the main characters to be more deeply explored. Still though, it's hard to imagine many people liking it much, except maybe people who have never seen, and know nothing about, the original.

Cabin Fever, on the other hand, from what I've read, I'm expecting to completely waste 90 minutes of my life on that one.
