I Spit On Your Grave (2010)

My rating - 6/10

(click on images below for larger versions)

A young woman takes a trip to an isolated cabin the woods for some peace and quiet so she can write her novel. She attacked and sexually assaulted many times by a group of men who leave her for dead. They don't realise she survived and she sets out to get violent revenge on them one by one.

This brutal remake of the 1978 original is definitely not for everone. The long, drawn out sexual assault scenes are very hard to watch and some of the graphic revenge scenes are nasty. The acting is good from all involved and it's well made for sure, I personally don't like the muted colours though, not just in this movie but in a lot of modern horror. The gore is well done and as said, very graphic in places.

As remakes go this one is a pretty good if pointless one. The original is still shocking and tough to watch so I don't really get why this needs to exist. The UK releases of this movie are cut with the BBFC wanting a total of 17 different cuts before they would give it an 18 certificate. The original, which was a major part of the video nasties debacle is also still cut to this day and it doesn't look like we'll get a fully uncut version of either for the forseeable future.
