I Spit on Your Grave (2010)

Truly Dreadful Film

Good start, but then it gets ruined

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I watched both the 1978 version and the remake today. To me, this was the better movie because I liked Jennifer's revenge better. In this one, she's more sadistic and psychotic, like setting up traps and torturing her attackers and watching them suffer. Jennifer Hills is an author from New York who goes to a cabin in Louisiana in hopes of peace and quiet to work on her new book. Soon enough, three rednecks and their mentally challenged friend show up and begin to violate and attack her. I hate rape, so I had to fast forward during that scene. When the guys think she's dead, a month goes by and they start receiving messages like a dead bird, and a flip-flop Jennifer was wearing. One by one, she attacks and tortures every one of them. It's brutal, but very satisfying! If you like revenge stories and the controversial original, you may enjoy I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE!!!

I don't understand why this remake was so controversial. However, it's worth the watch to see what all the hype was about. The acting was good and the setting was perfect; but there was something lacking between the switch from the first to the second part of the movie.The second movie in the series is awesome. It's worth watching the first one so you can ease into the second one. Everything that was lacking in the first one is more than made up for in the second one.

People don't really know how much it hurts to do something that you really don't want to do. what she did was fair really

I like the revenge/horror genre as much as anyone but this movie is totally forgettable. The acting and the writing are pretty bad. Every situation is foreseeable, over-exaggerated and nothing unexpected ever happens. The first part of the movie, is in my opinion the least mediocre one even though it's full of clichés, it is still watchable through and through and even somewhat entertaining with no real boring parts.However the second part, the revenge one, isn't boring either but it is where all the inconsistencies, clichés and absurd situations really start to show off. Just to list a few : It was obvious the woman was going to jump in the river and try to disappear in the muddy waters, how they just didn't see it coming is beyond me. Then she reappears somewhere between a month or a few years later (it is unclear when exactly) and starts knocking out her rapists with a baseball bat and a tire iron. This is the usual cliché you'd see in every 80's action movie : Hit a bad guy on the head to knock him out for a while... "He will -always- wake up later...".Except that in really it does rarely work like that. Chance are, if you hit someone with a baseball bat to the head, he's never gonna wake up or if you miss your swing or don't hit it the right way (which is very likely if you're a woman vs 4 big guys) he's not even gonna get knocked out. The middle ground "knock-out effect" is extremely hard to obtain consistently especially with a baseball bat and a tire iron which are gonna brake bones and leave some serious injuries or just do very little damage if the guy you're targeting starts walking towards you with his hands in guard, reducing your momentum and swing distance. This was never though of in 80's movies and still isn't, worst part is that a girl has to wield these kinds of weapon makes it even less believable... I would have believed it if she went for shooting tranquilizer darts while waiting from a safe distance, or if she'd laced their food with drugs... But this frail woman who KO's all those big guys ? Sorry, not buying it for a second.To me, the most important part of a story like that is that it has to believable. But this one, despite being watchable, just isn't.
