The real acting standout is Chad Lindberg as the slightly mentally challenged, Matthew. Totally unexpected and welcome, although at times, his arrogance felt forced and unnatural. As Johnny, he is high energy, mean to the core, but has this edge of embarrassed intimidation. Outstanding is Jeff Branson who shocked me with his performance. Sadly, the girl can’t scream with a damn, lacking oomph and passion. Sarah Butler, while engaging as Jennifer, giving her a great visceral determination, doesn’t give as strong a performance as I would expect for this role. And with a furious calm intensity, one must ask, just how far will Jennifer go in her revenge? With military precision, one by one, the boys are subjected to exacting retaliation giving new meaning to “an eye for an eye”. And let me tell you, there’s nothing worse than a woman out seeking revenge.

Well boys, she’s back! Holing away in the woods mending her body and plotting, Jennifer is determined to torture each of the four as they tortured her. Events that mimic those perpetrated by the boys on Jennifer. Obviously, the body washed far away with the river.īut with the passage of time odd things start happening. Beaten and abused to within an inch of her life, with pronounced limp, broken bones and battered body, Jennifer wanders zombie-like naked through the woods with her captors tailing her every move that is until she takes a swan dive off a bridge into a raging river.Ĭoncerned that someone may be looking for her, the boys, under the control of the deviant sheriff panicked over a phone call to the rental agent from a friend looking for her, search high and low and signs of Jennifer’s body, but to no avail. And things get even uglier when Sheriff Storch turns out to be anything but law abiding. But things get really ugly when they escalate to violence, gang raping her countless times throughout the night and day, humiliating her, beating her, abusing her with unspeakable acts, not to mention videotaping the events and forcing her to watch the torture being exacted upon her. Led by wounded ego Johnny, the “boys” – Stanley, Matthew and Andrew, mysteriously appear at the cabin late one night drunk, breaking in, and harassing Jennifer. Fully stocked with food, alcohol and some marijuana, she is set for the next several months.īut while Jennifer seeks some quiet time, the gas station delinquents have something else in mind. Dismissing them as nothing but a collective juvenile nuisance, Jennifer settles in, anxious to start work on her book. Dirty and vulgar, Jennifer’s humor seemed lost on their lacking intellect. A private lake, dock, acres of woods and a fully apportioned two-story luxury cabin are a welcome site after a nasty encounter with the local boys at the gas station. Finding the perfect spot out in the Boondocks with no one around for miles but for a ramshackle looking gas station and an odd little man who handles local cabin rentals, Jennifer has found bliss. Now, thirty-two years later, Steven Monroe remakes this classic, resulting in a product of which he can be proud that is both enjoyable and entertaining (he provides a plethora of new ideas for exacting eye-for-an-eye revenge, including a new method of penile amputation that’s even more torturous than the ancient Chinese method of whacking the penis with a rock against a tree until it falls off), and which surpasses the original in quality and excellence.Īuthor Jennifer Hills is looking for a few months of quiet “alone time” in order to write her new novel. And yes, as gruesome and almost macabre as the film was, I liked it.

Most compelling for me in Meir Zarchi’s original was the grain and grit of the film itself, heightening the dirty/disgust factor of the plot points themselves. (I got an A+) The film was considered so horrific that “legitimate” theatres in Philadelphia wouldn’t show it and it was relegated to the XXX theatres in Center City “way off” from the “classy” areas of the City.

Back in late 1978, there was a little unrated gem of a film that played around the country called “Day of the Woman” aka “I Spit on Your Grave.” I saw that original film on its initial release and, ironically actually did a detailed technical analysis and “review” of it for my film class.
