I Spit on Your Grave (1978)
I Spit on Your Grave (2010)
Last night gave a watch to the original again just before watching the remake. And this time Meir Zarchi's original film liked even more than the last time when I first saw it few years back. A simple story with a subtle horror of rape & revenge at a cabin in the woods. As usually you can guess it right that the remake tried to highlight more shock & gore value than the original. The rape scenes weren't that much explicit like in the original and before that the humiliation/beginning part was fine enough. But the revenge-torture parts of the film tells that before even planning for a remake of the 1978 ISOYG, it seems they first came up with the ideas about some distinctive ways of torture. So as a stand alone film it is not a bad entry in the realm of today's torture-gore flicks. But still this is a remake where the characters appeared with the same name as they were in the original (btw, here's they added an extra character who played a Major part throughout the movie) and there wasn't any scene like Johnny's penis cut-off part in the bathroom like the way Zarchi filmed in his original and last but not the least here's the main lead (though she tried her best but ) couldn't able came close to Camille Keaton.
