What Monroe expertly does her is switched that. The focus for the first act or so is obviously Jennifer as we are seeing here via the gaze of her predators. It is too methodical and a tell-tale of the times in the horror genre, where torture porn was king. Here, it feels as if this Jennifer would have to be close to the edge of carrying out these acts on her attackers before they happen. With the original, Jennifer took no prisoners and had to use what she had on her. It removes us a tad from the retribution that should be becoming. Sarah Butler is excellent in the film, but she is made to be this inventive murderer (although justified) who creates torture porn devices. Where the remake struggles however in its comparisons with the original are with Jennifer herself. Monroe brings us some much-needed suspense, although at times it is just that tad too polished, this is thanks to the budget where everything had to look real, as, for the most part, almost everything in 1978 was real. The writing is a lot stronger here as well as the editing and direction. With an actual budget on hand, it was always going to be a film that was better from a technical standpoint. Also, and most likely thankfully for audiences, this is a onetime attack (although excruciatingly prolonged).
There are a few modern alterations to the tale (with the group videotaping Jennifer before they go in to attack her). Following the exact same premise (it is a remake after all). It took 32 years, but in the era of 70s horror remakes, it was only a matter of time before I Spit on Your Grave came up next by a studio. A gruesome difficult classic for the genre In the end, the first film in the Collectors box is a must watch and the fact there wasn’t another version of the film for 32 years should tell you everything about the impact it had on audiences. Does this make the film a tad cold? Perhaps, or are we as the audience just bloodthirsty and ready to see revenge? Either way, the film is as bold as it is grim. She does what she has to and leaves, she doesn’t care to wait for their death as she is smart enough to know that there is no escape from what positions she leaves them in. What strikes me most upon this rewatch was how nonchalant she is about each death. We want to see Jennifer’s attackers get their comeuppance. The sheer luck of the casting and the time overall premise are what drive the film. Make no mistake, however, the dialogue and cinematography are as amateur as it gets. We almost certainly would not have gotten this collectors box. Without her performance I am not sure how long I Spit on Your Grave would be remembered for. Her actions are stark and sinister, but very much deserving. There is a lot to be said that her portrayal of Jennifer is the ultimate in the “Final Girl” category. Despite what happens throughout the film, this is a film owned by Camille Keaton, who deserves all the plaudits for her brave performance. Her response is apt and equally as disturbing as she becomes death to her attackers. In some films, there is a long wait and a sense of dread of what is going to happen. The suddenness and escalation will catch many by surprise and in the truth that brings a sense of reality to the film. He didn’t want you to find anything enjoyable about this act (acts). You want and probably will turn away during it and I think that was Zarchi’s intent. The rape scenes are of course horrific to watch, even in this version of the film. It is not until the uncomfortable first meeting with her attackers and future victims that director Meir Zarchi twists the knife on the audience.
Everything appears calm and we get to know Jennifer and her surroundings. I Spit on Your Grave actually deceives the audience for the first portion of the film.

What comes instead is a series of events that will change her for the rest of her life as her quiet retreat becomes a hell. Telling the tale of Jennifer Hills ( Camille Keaton), a writer from the city, she is on the lookout for a little quiet place to finish her first novel. Banned in multiple European countries, it seemed as if the film would never be a success. Let’s start all the way back to 1978 with the original which is still a difficult watch today despite the film being cut to pieces to get it through the BBFC.

Proving that although it was hard to believe, there was indeed and continued to be a large audience for this type of grim horror.Ĭelebrating this fact is the release of a collector’s edition boxset, housing all of the films plus a brand new documentary about the series. I Spit on Your Grave has since gone on to spawn 4 further films. Famously called “a movie so sick, reprehensible and contemptible that I can hardly believe it’s playing in respectable theatres” by Roger Ebert.
