I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE! 2010

By Jimmy Squarejaw

*WARNING*

All movies reviewed for SUNDAY SNUFF contain graphic depictions that may include rape, live animals being murdered, and extreme gore.  None of the writers condone such acts we just watch this shit. 

This movie, along with LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, are the two remakes that I really thought were going to be big steaming piles of elephant semen.  I just couldn’t get my head around how they could do the originals justice.  After watching it though I became a believer.  I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE follows the original closely adding a few things but also lacking a little in a few areas.  The cover also has more underwear going into the main character's ass so there is always that!

Like the original, the 2010 remake begins with the main character Jennifer heading out of the big city to spend sometime at a rental cabin in a rural buttfuck hee-haw town.  She pulls into a gas station where she enchants all of the local guy’s groins while managing to embarrass the main gas jockey Johnny after a terribly executed pickup line.  Jennifer then heads on down to the cabin and makes herself at home with a liquor cabinet full of wine and a sack of doobie puff sticks.  The gas station hooligans show up one night and start in on the humiliation with cameras in hand.  The story starts to differ from the original when Jennifer breaks free from her tormentors and goes tearing through the woods screaming for help until she comes upon two hunters, one is the kooky old timer who rented her the cabin and the other is the local sheriff.  Sheriff Storch, played amazingly by Andrew Howard, leads her back to the cabin to confront the roustabouts but instead he finds an empty house with used marijuana cigarettes and enough booze to kill Anna Nicole Smith…….again.  The Sheriff starts in on the lectures and then to her surprise lets the group of gas station jerks back into the house.  Well shit, they’re all in on it and Jennifer’s holes are going to pay the price.  Now comes the rape and the movie switches back to the similar storyline as the original.

The rape scenes were definitely the content that got compromised in the remake for obvious commercial reasons but it’s still violent and pretty shocking for a movie sold at Wal-Mart.  I think the added character of Sheriff Storch adds a hell of a lot to the movie though.  He’s fucking vile and when his wife and young daughter are brought into the storyline it creates a whole new kind of tension in the movie.  And the last thing that I think was really amazing about the movie was the ending.  Yes, if you think about it too much you will find the impracticality of how Jennifer can capture, move, and then setup the rapist gang in different scenarios of torturous revenge.  But if you just sit back and enjoy it really is a brutal ending that is entertaining as hell!  One part of the remake that didn't resonate with me was the main group of gas station bullies compared to the original movie.  There was just something more sleazy and realistic to the group in the original that these guys didn't capture.  

For me the perfect blend would be the original I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE storyline, characters, and raw brutality, but add that kooky character Sheriff Storch, and use the big budget violence of the remake.  Definitely worth a watch and you can find the combo pack of the original and remake with all of the extra features on Blu-Ray or DVD for super cheap. 

Blake and Jimmy’s Extreme-O-Gauge!

Realistic Gore: 4 out of 5, it’s not through the whole movie but the ending more than makes up for it.

Rape: 3 out of 5, yes it’s brutal but not as insane as the original.

Animal Death: 0 out of 0.

Necrophilia: 0 out of 0

Torture: 3 out of 5, not as rough as I’ve seen but there are still a few torturous goodies in their.

Overall Movie:  3 out of 5, good flick that has it’s merits but it doesn’t hold up to the original.
