I Spit on Your Grave 2

I Spit on Your Grave II (2013) is a movie that I recently watched on Amazon Prime. The storyline follows an aspiring model who takes a photoshoot opportunity that becomes more than she bargained for. She decides to quit the shoot and go home. Unfortunately for her the photographers find her house, rape and kidnap her and continue to rape and torture her after the kidnapping. The model seeks opportunities to escape these heinous acts, gain revenge and return home...

This movie is directed by Steven R. Monroe (I Spit on Your Grave, 2010) and stars Jemma Dallender (Daddy's Girl), Joe Absolom (Doc Martin), Valentine Pelka (The Pianist) and Mary Stockley (V for Vendetta).

This is a very uneven movie that tries a bit too hard. I will say the film is well shot and has some worthwhile cinematography. There's some scenes that were too much, and some that definitely didn't feel realistic (the recapture). But there's some really well done scenes too. The taser and stabbing sequence was good. There's a change of venue scenario that was fun. There's also a revenge bathroom scene that felt unrealistic but was gross and I didn't see coming. The ending sequence with the mouth kill was good too.

This movie isn't particularly good, but it's worth a watch. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.

This was waaaay better than the first. Kinda slow for awhile but had more...spunk? The chick in the first movie was mostly dazed throughout everything until the end and before everything happened. This chick was alive and kicking throughout the whole movie. They added a twist and a completely new environment and they made it better in the sense that this was more of a revenge movie than the first where the first was pretty much just a rape movie because of how much they prolonged that damn moment. This movie is still disturbing with what happens to the chick BUT they didn't drag out the rape scene as long as the first. They actually shortened it by a lot, but it wasn't all one...long scene. It was like three where they showed the first one but was really short, second one only lasted seconds and the third wasn't even shown. This was more of a movie than the first, it didn't just feel like hardcore porn with barely any gore at the end. This felt like a real movie with pretty awesome revenge in it. This was a revenge movie with some rape, it can be disturbing to a lot of people but this wasn't like the first movie where the first movie felt like a rape movie with some revenge, this movie is a revenge movie with some rape.

watched I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE 2 ...compare to its prequel this flick is more brutal more gruesome more violent more eww more plight-full n more entertaining(if you like this genre)...this movie completes everything that its prequel lacked..well not everything exactly..it too has some loose ends...BUT do/should we even care about that?..in front of this girl(Jemma Dallender)'s acting..she did a tremendous job..for a moment you'll wonder if she is being violated for real!(I'm not being an assh*le BUT it has one of the best woman abusive scenes I've ever watched in a film_of- course)..above that she is beautiful..you feel sorry for her(movie's job done here)....this revenge film has a cheesy twist n they kinda turns it in another SAW in the end(though)..its not very good BUT its a nice film..if you like sick things(kidding)

its _WORTH A WATCH_

An American wannabe model is raped, shipped to Europe and degraded until she escapes and plots her revenge.

Writers Thomas Fenton and Neil Elman offer a solid script, the claustrophobic NY apartment and then the European setting adds an air of danger for Katie's ordeals, it's pity the unsavoury Euro angle has be been done so many times already. In the vein of Hostel 2, Saw and following the format of the 1978's I Spit on Your Grave and its 2010 remake, director Steven R. Monroe's latest wincing film like its predecessor is nasty, arguably needless and borderline exploitation. Nevertheless, it feels more realistic than many of the films of its saturated genre and the cop and the priest play against expectations adding some surprise.

Jemma Dallender is first rate as Katie and gives a great performance but her character is not as liable as it's former lead Sarah Butler's Jennifer Hills. The supporting cast are all excellent notable are Mary Stockley, Joe Absolom who pulls off a good accent as Ivan and Valentine Pelka as Father Dimov.

It's a film of two halves, the first being the horrific abuse of Katie, the second revenge kills on her captors. Monroe's film looks good, it's slick with plenty of atmosphere, blood, great effects with the ominous lighting and locations heightened by Damian Bromley's photography. Corey A. Jackson's score also adds to the unnerving edgy scenes.

With the pro-woman, feminist, revenge angles already debated highlighted and explored with the 1978 version, this offering would have been a equal if not a better re-imagining than the 2010 remake but despite some great acting it's now left slightly redundant with even less to say.

Monroe's offering is commendable and as it is certainly not DVD fodder (like Hostel 3), it has cinema release execution and production values like his first instalment. Monroe needs a breakout movie but given the subject matter this just isn't it.

For his 2010 remake of Meir Zarchi's 70s rape/revenge classic I Spit On Your Grave, director Steven R.Monroe's aim was clearly to surpass the original movie in terms of nastiness; many might argue that he succeeded. For this sequel, he attempts to outdo his own remake, but in doing so, frequently verges on parody, the excessive sadism and violence perpetrated by ridiculous eastern European, Hostel-style stereotypes, and the plot taking several preposterous turns in order to prolong its protagonist's unimaginable suffering.

Monroe also makes the mistake of concentrating far more on the rape than on the revenge, with the latter half of the film feeling very rushed and consequently less satisfying, the sense of disappointment exacerbated by the lame manner in which several of the villains meet their fate (only Ivan's 'balls in a clamp' treatment seems truly befitting of his heinous crime).

From a technical point of view, Monroe's film is very impressive, with slick direction and editing, decent make-up effects work, and a bold and convincing central performance by Jemma Dallender—making it even more of a shame that in trying so hard to shock, the film fails to work in other departments.
