Hehe... I'm not surprise :)

[Mr. DS]

Well the script is kind of easy...nothing...rape...revenge.

I'm not surprised. They remade Last House On The Left and dumbed it down, so why not the next in line to the throne of Sleaziest movie from the 70s?  After this, it will be Last House On A Dead End Street and after that, the John Waters films. It is time everyone is Hollywood is laid to waste.

What is next, a reboot of My Mother The Car? With Will Farrell?

You forgot about House at the Edge of the Park, only this time they'll probably kill off more characters and have more sex and nudity.  They'll probably also release an unrated version that will show two seconds extra of frontal nudity.   

After they're done remaking everything, they'll start over again.

I'm not surprised. They remade Last House On The Left and dumbed it down.

And made it in Cape Town. 

What is next, a reboot of My Mother The Car? With Will Farrell?

No, Will Farrell will play the car.

I knew Maer Zarchi when I lived in NY. There is a lot to the story of ISOYG that didn't make it into the film. It was a fairly personal project for Mr Z. To bad the picture is going to be dumbed down and stupified for the masses. Another Eli Roth torture-fest?

[MrMari]

Friends always ask me if there is a bad movie I just can't sit thru and ISOYG is always my answer. I'll be taking a pass at the remake as well.

My concern with remakes of these 60s-70s-80s exploitation movies of various types is that the original movies are so much products of their time that, when their themes are transferred to a post-2000 context, it usually just doesn't work because of this kind of incongruity - either that, or the 60s-70s-80s spirit is completely removed from the remake, manking it just seem like a effects-ladden contentless post-2000 flick.

I've seen very few such remakes that worked well. I have a hard time imagining "I Spit on Your Grave" or any other revensploitation plots/themes working in a post-2000 context.

I watched this one last night and was quite impressed with it!
Like the original, it is a brutal film.  The woman's terror and humiliation are
very uncomfortable to watch, and her revenge is . . . well, I'm a hardcore
gorehound, and I had to turn my head a couple of times.  Seriously, I was
prepared to be pretty down on this, and I was surprised by how well done
it was.  While it did follow the general storyline of the original, they didn't
try to do a frame for frame reshoot of the original - they adapted the story
more to modern times and the adaptations, for the most part, worked.

If you can handle some truly gruesome revenge scenes, this one is worth
watching.

  I don't see how rape stories can be entertaining. 

[indianasmith]

Hmmm . . . I don't know if "entertaining" is the right word for this film.
Fascinating, perhaps?  Compelling?  All I know was, it drew me in and kept me involved in the story from first to last.  I cringed at the treatment the poor girl endured - but I also cringed a bit at the final payback scene.  Not in sympathy for the victim, but in visceral revulsion at what was done to him.

Make no mistake.  This is a BRUTAL film.  But it is well done.

Someone gave me the original on a VHS tape.  I was prepared to utterly hate it outright as rank exploitation, etc.  What I watched instead was a variation on the whole Charles Bronson "Death Wish" thing from a female perspective.  I have not seen the remake.  The original is actually a good movie.  It has a complete story arc of attack and vengeance - Clint Eastwood should have done the remake - I wonder whatever became of the original protagonists?

peter johnson/denny whoops! this isn't a bad movie! crane

That's horsesh!t.  CHARLES BRONSON's character was never sexually abused, repeatedly, by four attackers.  And then we're treated to implausible and nearly as unsavory revenge slayings.  To suggest the film empowers at all is to negate the horror of rape, and the humiliation the filmmaker exploits.  I'm referring to the original.  I won't look at any remake.

Allhallows:

WTF is wrong with you?  What are you so upset about?  You are incoherent.  Take a small sharp shock to your optic nerves and start again -

Charles Bronson's character was raped by the fact of the rape and murder that took place to his wife.  He was the protector, and was responsible.  He came back to commit vengeance.  The female protagonist in the first version of  "I Spit On Your Grave" came back to take vengeance for herself, in a very mythic grotesque construction. 

In the past, you have seemed like an educated man, and therefore I would have thought, would be conversant with the structure of Fairy Tales and other extremely violent folk tales & myths that exist.

Seriuosly - are you on medication?  I think you should be.  I made an innocuous remark about an extreme film - I think we see a lot of these here -
What with this being the old "badmovies" site and all . . . sorry, don't get what you're on about.

And oh - "horses**t" to you too, meine freunde -
