I Spit on Your Grave: Vengeance is Mine (2015)

.... and pretty much falls flat on its face.

Which is a pity, since as a reviewer who has been watching theatrical releases since the 1970s, up to this point the ISOYG franchise was one of the "purest" of the 70s style releases left on the planet.

Notice that I am not saying whether or not this is a good thing - whether this style of visceral horror is "your cup of tea" is really up to the viewer. The point is that ISOYG entries 1 and 2 were true to the formula and, for purists, they delivered.

This entry is strange. If you check the IMDb credits, star Sarah Butler, who pretty much has been carrying this series on her back, gets a "misc" credit at the end of the IMDb roll. Whattsup with that? This entry takes a sharp right turn from the formula -- never a great way to start a movie -- and relies instead on a lot of scholarly dialog and flashbacks to the earlier entries just to maintain a pretence of dramatic tension.

Pa-leeze! The "4" rating may be a bit high, but Butler does have her fans and she deserves credit for holding screen interest.

Fmovies: Loved the first movie, well shot and whilst it has flaws was a great revenge movie.

The second one followed in the same style and again a decent movie whilst not quite as good as the first.

This one though really is a straight to DVD bargain bin cash in. Loses the quality of direction of Monroe and totally lacking the atmosphere of the first two.

Such a shame as it was a great idea to bring back the character of Jennifer but the film just doesn't live up to it.

Anyone giving this a 9 or 10 must be involved in the movie making as it is really poor.

Where do I begin? Jennifer should have never been brought back. Se looked a mess in this film, and the need to have blood on her. I don't see how there can be a part 4 with part 3 being god-awful. Nothing in this movie is good, the directing, the storyline, the actors, the camera angles, the dialogue, the childish behavior of Jennifer and her friend. How is she having "ptsd" or trauma if she has n problem walking the streets at night by herself all of the time. No one with that amount of trauma would be stalking calmly either; they would be staying away. This is probably another writer with no experience, read some stuff on Wikipedia and started writing, with no regards for logic. Jennifer was so annoying in this one. Could have been a new direction altogether with this movie, as in never happened.

I Spit on Your Grave: Vengeance is Mine fmovies. Another dumb blunder by people who simply do not understand genre film and have no business making them.

Apparently the geniuses who produced this said to themselves, hey, for all you fans of the original movies and the remakes before this, we thought you'd like a basic revenge drama, rather than a exploitation genre film.

Ahhh, no. No, we won't like that.

This movie will appeal to no one. Nobody. I don't even get what it is. It takes a classic exploitation genre and turns it into a boring lifetime channel revenge drama.

A complete waste of time in every way.

Rating it 7 is too much. Let me be clear on that. The movie from the start seemed pretty good. The acting was nice, the plot was really good and I loved how it broke the whole I Spit On Your Grave movie clichés. I loved the fact that it was something different from the other movies we have seen. With some great acting and some bad acting from supporting actors and some clichés, in the middle of the film I had decided that its probably the best from the latest three movies of the franchise, not going to mention the first one though. The killings were great and brutal. But the end of the film came so quickly, it was bad and made the movie one of the biggest disappointments in recent cinema! I have no idea what the film makers were thinking! How the hell did they write such an awful ending, thinking that its going to work?! I don't know, really.. It had great potential but by the end it was plain trash like the other films. The 7 rating from me is for how much I enjoyed the whole thing, objectively it deserves a five, maybe five and a half, and if it had a better, or maybe a good, ending I would have given it a 8.

Because Sarah Butler starred in the first remake of "I Spit On Your Grave" and me not knowing this installment of "I Spit On Your Grave" had a different director from the first two I went into this one thinking it was going to be as good as the first or at least a little better than the second, I was wrong. While not perfect, the first was an absolute thriller. It had the edge of your seat thrill a horror/thriller should have. To me this installment was different, which isn't a bad thing, but it didn't have that simple straight up revenge is a dish best served cold attitude about it like the first one had. I think in horror/thriller films like these, when you start adding things it takes away from what the film is really supposed to be. If there were more violent and gore revenge scenes it probably would have been a better film. Perhaps they'll make a fourth installment starring Jemma Dallender and get back to the basics.
