There is a lot of love for the original I Spit on Your Grave (aka Day
of the Woman) within the realms of cult cinema and it deserves a lot of
respect. However, the film is flawed. As of the writing of this little review,
I have taken a lot of flak from various fans, critics, and horror hounds for
stating that Steven R. Monroe’s remake of I
Spit on Your Grave is a better film than the original. I still stand by
that. While it took me far too long to get to it, I finally was able to watch
Monroe’s sequel I Spit on Your Grave 2
and now I’m prepared to take another round of abuse from fans because this
sequel is even better than his remake. I know, I know. I must have gone mad. I
liked a remake better than the original? Then I liked its sequel better than
that?! Yet, as the credits rolled on I
Spit on Your Grave 2, it was hard not to think this. Not only does this one
pull away further from the cheesy moments that hindered its predecessor, but it
throws in a variety of solid narrative shifts that expand on the themes and
formula to make it feel fresher, leaner, and meaner.
