I spit on your grave
With more obvious means available, a society
changed over the years, a rebirth of the "I spit on your grave" found
the light and a sense of being. Meir Zarchi director and author of one
of the most discussed, criticized and hated "Rape & Revenge" back
with his idea, with the most famous title, the one who he didn’t
like leaving direction to Steven R.Monroe and taking care of the
production.
Everything can be said of this genre. Despicable, hateful, a little
'stupid and that could also affect some weak mind. But here we try to
talk about cinema and we must say that Monroe creates a work much
better than the original, affecting much more the viewer as is in
the first part (the rape) as is in the second (the Revenge).
Undoubtedly helped by the things that we said in the opening Monroe
creates a movie that works, that has a good direction and an equally
good photography and reaching peaks of good for the genre. The misogyny
of the 1978’s film with Jennifer that "stimulates" her jailors,
here fortunately disappears, putting the bad guys under the light of
ignoble beings and reaching in the second half at sense of liberation
and justice. It’s clear violence is a crime, as the murders, but
this kind requires these things and that's what Monroe offers
brilliantly.
Remake with very few changes in the story (apart from the inclusion of
new technologies) with Jennifer Hills, played by Sarah Butler a
television actress, resembled to Camille Keaton, who rents an isolated
house in the woods to find the inspiration for his novel. A series of
unfortunate events led her to clash with a group of louts that before
peak at her and then attack her at home. His desperate flight from the
house make things worse, revealing that the sheriff is a bad man. Raped
by the group, humiliated, Jennifer finds right time to jump off a
bridge into a river. She disappears.
We don’t know where se end up. But we find her a month later
ready for her violent revenge. One by one, the woman kills the
attackers with tortures touching strong and splatters moments.
A young cast with different experience in major productions and TV
series, give life to a remake more than successful and appreciated by
the audience. Well, not all of were ecstatic because the unforgettable
Roger Ebert crushed the film. Exactly as he had done with the one of
Meir Zarchi.
