In order to write her new novel in peace and tranquillity, city girl Jennifer (Sarah Butler) heads off to a secluded cabin in the woods. After attracting the attention of a group of local men at the gas station, Jennifer’s isolation makes her an easy target. Raped, humiliated, and brutalized by this group of sick individuals,
Jennifer, an inch from death throws herself to the mercy of a fast flowing river. But then.....she’s back!! And out for revenge. Jennifer exacts her vengeance in some of the most uncomfortable scenes I have witnessed for a long time. She’s definitely blessed with imagination!!
Of course, my first thought was that any woman, having gone through such an ordeal, wouldn’t go within a million miles of the perpetrators. Once I had put that thought to bed, boy did I enjoy her retribution. Many viewers express their pity for the men in these horrifying scenes of retaliation. I had none; these men deserved every ounce of what they got, and I revelled in their pain.
I Spit on Your Grave isn’t as grimy as I would have liked, but overall the cinematographers got it right. The acting is on the money and although sickening to watch, the rape scenes and brutality have a nasty realism which really does get under your skin. Not so much horror as sheer unpleasantness, I Spit on Your Grave will not appeal to everyone, but will definitely satisfy fans of the torture/porn genre.
I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (2010). Director: Steven R Monroe. Writers: Meir Zarchi, Stuart Morse. Cast: Sarah Butler, Jeff Branson, Andrew Howard, Daniel Franzense, Rodney Eastman, Chad Lindberg
