Horroctober 2012I don't take orders from a fucking woman!
-JohnnyThis movie's story makes Hostel look like The Godfather. I seriously do not comprehend how this can currently have a 6.3 rating on IMDB. The laziness on display in this movie is incomprehensible.
Sarah Butler plays Jennifer Hills, a writer that happens to look like an 18 year old lingerie model. She needs seclusion to finish her crap novel so she decides the best thing to do is rent a log cabin, that looks like $300,000 house, in the middle of Bumfuck Nowhere. Apparently they don't rent log cabins in reputable parts of the United States.
The neighboring community to this cabin consists of three assholes, a…

I found this to be a truly disturbing movie and had difficulty finishing it. The reason I found it difficult to watch is because I am a father of a girl and I couldn't stand seeing the horror which the lead actress Sarah Butler has to face. It touched me deep on a emotional level and made me genuinely angry. The only reason I finished this movie was to see how the perpetrators would get their due. That part at least was highly satisfying.

Uncomfortable to watch at times and that's just how these types of exploitation movies should be. It's different enough from the original to stand on its own. More humiliation and less rape than the original and more twisted on the revenge side.

The original film was alternatively known as "The Day of the Woman," a title hardly befitting a film that featured one of the lengthiest and most disturbing rape scenes I've seen. Sure the antagonists got their dues, but it could hardly be considered a triumph for women, or a feminist film as the director claimed. The 2010 remake is a much more intelligent film and offers a balanced narrative where the title "The Day of the Woman" is granted some substance. Sexual metaphors are used to great effect to explore how women are objectified (not just by stereotypical hillbillies) as well as how male dominance and sexual strength is symbolised (guns, the voyeuristic gaze etc...). It means that when the…

Jennifer: So was I." -
As recent horror remakes go this film ranks high. It's dirty, dirty, dirty exploitation pure and simple and I loved it.

Una película con un argumento ya conocido pero que no deja indiferente a nadie: chica es violada y maltratada por un grupo y luego.. sus acciones son vengadas... de manera ciertamente gore. Lo he pasado mal viéndola así que, si, ha sido una gran película. Y me ha entretenido enormemente. Le doy sólo 3 estrellas por lo trillado de su argumento.

La típica película de venganzas. Nuestra protagonista es acosada por un grupo de malnacidos en un pueblo alejado de la mano de Dios. Aunque no sorprende (ni tampoco lo intenta), sí que está bastante bien resuelta y se manejan muy bien las situaciones de pura tensión, sobretodo durante la primera mitad de la película.
Un reparto bastante equilibrado (destacando sobretodo a la protagonista) y técnicamente aceptable. Para pasar un momento incómodo en casa. -
Bad horror movie: sign me up!

Don't like the rape scenes.
Love the revenge scenes! -

An author from the city retreats to a cabin in the woods and catches the attention of some of the wacky locals. She survives a viscous gang rape and is hell bent on revenge. Even worse than the original which is also awful.

This controversial revenge-horror should’ve been banned like the original, not surprised Ebert gave this and the original zero stars.
Its plot elements are ridiculous, the filmmaking at times very sloppy and the first 50 minutes are spent on objectionable rape scenes courtesy of a bunch of sick, voyeuristic inbred farmers…Steven R. Monroe’s I Spit On Your Grave is something that I just couldn’t recommend to anyone on any level and its definitely not an ideal date movie, just sayin’.

Slavish remake of the original shocker (with director Meir Zarchi getting a producing credit) it swaps the lurid atmosphere of its model for the glossier look of most horror reboots of the 2000s. However, having sexier (and admittedly better) actors does nothing to actually improve the product: a malevolent rape&revenge film that ups the ante on the murderous rampage of the female protagonist (with an eye on such fare as the Saw and Hostel pictures)
