I Spit On Your Grave (2010) 6/10

Starring : Sarah Butler, Jeff Branson, Andrew Howard, Daniel Franzese, Rodney Eastman, Chad Linberg
Director : Steven R Monroe
Running Time : 109 mins

When writer Jennifer Hills (Butler) takes a retreat to a remote cabin in the woods in order to start on her new book, she attracts the attention of the city hating locals who, one night, break into her cabin in order to scare her, but things escalate out of control and they soon turn to sexually assaulting her and plan to kill her. She manages to escape and survive, and decides to seek vengeance against the men that have ruined her life.

Practically the first half of this movie involves Hills arrival at the cabin and her subsequent sexual assault, and this is very uncomfortable viewing. Her eventual escape from her attackers felt a little bit ridiculous – I couldn’t see how she could just slowly wander off and they wouldn’t be able to find her – and her eventual overpowering assault on the men beggars the question how she couldn’t have overpowered them in the first place. This isn’t the best rape-revenge movie around, and as a remake it lacks what the original has going for it – the shock effect.
