I Spit on Your Grave (2010) A repository for my I Spit on Your Grave writing over the next few weeks. Feel free to comment on anything I write here or on the blog post. This week, I've asked some questions about the nature of remakes, read it here... I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE: When Remakes Actually Work. |
Three announcements today. Firstly, check the sleeve poll thread in this sub-forum to find out who won a free DVD or Blu-ray of the movie. Secondly, There's a new I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE POST on the Cult Labs blog. Some more thoughts on controversy in cinema and how the choice of title for a film can buy a lot of notoriety. Finally, the theatrical quad poster for the upcoming cinema release has been changed so here's the new look artwork: http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...tnewquad-1.jpg |
I am a huge fan of the original, and even got the opportunity to review it for an Australian site: here is a link for it I Spit On Your Grave Review and recently picked up an original daybill and am looking forward to seeing the remake... and want that remake poster desperately!!! |
Thanks for posting. Good news on that original poster, one of those images that never goes away and caused such trouble in the early 80s in the UK. Here's a blog post I wrote on why extreme violence has a place in cinema: CLICK Any thoughts on what I wrote are welcome... |

well written too. I agree on what you said about wanting to experience extreme thrills safely and thats what horror gives us just like we go roller coasters to have thrills. |
I think it goes back to primal fight or flight reflexes. The modern world is safe and mediated and we are infantilized as a result. Extreme cinema appeals to really corners of the psyche that we are all meant to suppress for the greater good. |

which is why people consider extreme horror dangerous. not that I agree obviously :lol: |
Interesting look at the sexual politics behind I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, both in it's original and remake guises, from THE GUARDIAN |
Anyone seen this yet? If so, what's the verdict? |
