Normally I am not keen on Hollywood remakes of older movies, but this one really hit the nail straight on the head, and as the nail tore through the flesh, you will cringe, groan and want for more. I actually want to sit down and watch the 1978 movie again to freshen up my memory of that version and compare it to this 2010 version.
"I Spit On Your Grave" really surprised me and left me wanting for more.
And credit is due the guys playing the tormentors as well, because they did good job with their roles as well (despite it being the roles of perverse deviants). Sarah Butler did a good job with the role of Jennifer, and she really came off quite believable. Most of the people cast for the movie was new faces for me, I think I only recognized a single face, and he didn't even have a big role, that being Tracey Walter (playing Earl). It was like you were right there in the movie yourself. Sounds bad to say, I know, but trust me, watch the movie and you will know what I am talking about. It was in a weird way, perfect brutality caught on film. The way the brutal scenes were executed and portrayed was just off the charts. I was cringing several times throughout the movie and was curling in the chair in phantom pains as well. This movie is definitely not for the faint hearted or for those easily offended.
The "I Spit On Your Grave" 2010 remake had me nailed to the chair, especially because it was so brutal. Leaving her for dead, Jennifer comes back and takes revenge on those who wronged her. Basically, the story is about a young writer named Jennifer, who goes to a small town to write, and she is assaulted and tormented by a group of locals. But the movie just sweeps you up and takes you along for a ride, and you want to stick around and see what happens next. The story was compelling, even though it was twisted and perverse. So I decided to give this 2010 remake version a go, without having any hopes or expectations to it.
I recall having seen the 1978 version a long, long time ago, but must confess that I can only recall parts of the movie. Reviewed by paul_haakonsen 8 / 10 Wonderfully brutal and straight to the point.
