When news first broke that a sequel to the I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE remake was in the works, I wondered to myself “How can the same sh*t happen to the same girl twice?” Based on the new synopsis for the sequel, the producers also considered this and decided the next round rape and revenge will involve a whole new set of characters.
I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE 2 is said to focus on HOLLY, a Missouri farm girl who moves to New York in hopes of perusing a modeling career. Looking to update her profile for the big city, she meets three brothers who rape and torture her. They supposedly flee to another country where they bury her alive. She survives, like in the first, and exacts her violent revenge.
Steven R. Monroe, director of the remake, will be returning to direct this second entry, which is written by SAW IV co-writer Thomas Fenton. Monroe got pretty good critical marks for his work on the remake, so I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE 2 will probably keep the same standard of quality. While I admire Meir Zachari’s 1978 original to an extent, my natural aversion toward cinematic torture and rape kept me away from the 2010 version (same goes for the LAST HOUSE remake). Which leads me to ask– are any of you roughy-exploitation fans out there up for another Day of the Woman, or is this sequel completely unnecessary? Talk back with your opinion below…
