I Spit on Your Grave 3: Vengeance Is Mine

This one picks in on the remake from 2010. I wasn't really satisfied with the remake because it went completely over the top. But here Jennifer Hills (Sarah Butler) is back under another name. Being in therapy with a group who all were involved in rape she slowly turns back into her bad habits, going out to kill the rapists.

It takes a while before she goes berserk and you will see the best, read gory, parts of the 2010 version. When her new girlfriend is being killed by her ex-boyfriend it's time to search the guys responsible. The first kill is the one you will remember the most because she goes for a blow but not with a happy ending for the guy. From there on it's a bit of the same as in the 2010 version. Except that we do have a little message hidden throughout the movie itself. The victims aren't the ones being helped by the authorities.

It's so weird to see Sarah turning into a sickie, especially towards the end when she thinks all men are the same, have been talking to her and in fact have seen her again the day before I watched this flick at a convention.

Does this flick offer anything towards the franchise, to be honest it doesn't but t is still worth picking up.

Like it or loath it, the very original I Spit on Your Grave was a shocking and powerful movie. The 2010 remake, although somewhat over the top in the revenge department, was good. Part 2, nothing to do with it's predecessor, was also quite good. Part 3 picks up from the 2010 film with Sarah Butler reprising her role. This is the best thing about part 3, she plays her part well and looks good doing so. The thin plot has her day dreaming about commiting murders and actually committing them (I think!). The ending is not great and it left me feeling somewhat disappointed. Sure, the killings are brutal and bloody but there are many far better movies out there for that. Really quite a needless sequel. It lacks the amount of sexual violence of the previous movies and consequently is the only I Spit to be passed uncut in Britain by the BBFC.

At the beginning of the movie I got excited to know that Jennifer Hills is back as Angela via pseudonym and story gonna carry forward the 2010 part, which was surely a great comeback after 1978 one with brutally violence. But soon after the story progressed my excitement had taken nosedive and just watched it as a regular movie watcher. Honestly this movie is not bad ; actually it's above average for sure. Brutality is still fresh in it. N*dity is totally negligible except those flashback scenes of first part at the beginning of the movie. That's it.

Acting performance of leading female character was damn excellent here as well. We can simply feel her satisfaction level right from her facial expressions after each vengeance. Other female character was also totally badass here and played her little part impactfully. BGM was good according to the situations and editing as well as screenplay was quite tight and gripping for sure. The main issue of this part was that it felt repetitive unlike the last 2013 part which had some major twist happened in the middle of the movie which was totally unexpected. Last part's survival and planning of vengeance was damn good, whereas here in this part the leading character just went for the vengeance and did it for ease after luring counterparty or giving the target a little bait. They showcased her as a fully professional killer but it was not the case according to the storyline.

Overall not a family friendly movie and I'm going with 5 Out of 10 Stars for it.. Movie deserves an one time watch if you want to finish this franchise like me unless you can simply skip it.

.... 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.

They wanted to make a political statement and used the "I Spit On Your Grave" franchise as the vehicle to draw viewers in. I hope I never have to see that obnoxious Landon woman ever again. Wow she was annoying.
