The new remake of the classic Grindhouse nasty I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE is out now on UK DVD and Blu-Ray.

Unlike many other recent remakes that sully the name of the films they’ve been inspired by, I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE is a rarity. A remake that exceeds it’s source material. Of course, noteriety in the world of extreme cinema is based on far more than the content of your movie and the original is still a firm favourite among horror fans but I think this is more to do with the startling poster design, rather than the film itself which is typical low-rent, exploitation trash with fairly shoddy acting. The remake polishes the idea, creating a film with genuine chills rather than a simple rape-revenge endurance test.

“As far as horror remakes from the 70’and 80’s are concerned – this is easily one of the best.” – FILMWERK

“Well made and impressively acted, I Spit on Your Grave is a cut above the usual standard of horror remakes, thanks to a decent script and some ingeniously grisly death sequences. Recommended, if you like this sort of thing.” – VIEW LONDON

In real life, heinous crimes of murder involving more than one assailant often feature a dominant aggressor and weaker compatriots. The leader will certainly be smarter and more psychotic than the weaker willed friends he gathers around himself and a degree of bullying is often apparent.

In this week’s clip, three potential killers round on their disabled friend when the conversation turns to the beautiful young woman whose staying in an insolated cabin nearby. Having mildly humilated the leader of the group already and with the conversation already turned to sex, the seeds are planted for an explosion of impotent male rage.

WHEN REMAKES WORK

None of the gang are particularly smart but they have a weaker dog to kick when they need to. The problem is, their lack of emotional intellect leaves them unable to process the actions of a strong, independent woman who spurns their advances. Factor in the virginity of the disabled character and the unpleasant imagination and bruised ego of the lead thug Johnny and the fuse is already lit. It seems inevitable that the lone female, far removed from her safety zone, will fall victim to a dreadful attack…

A NOTORIOUS TITLE

Merciless bullying, small horizons and an isolated existence combine in I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE to create an insular gang mentality that extends to the wider community. Vicious misogyny, stunted social development and sheer boredom combine to do the rest.
