I Spit on Your Grave -- Film Review

Empty

It's a lot harder to disgust viewers in these days of torture porn than it was at the close of the 1970s, when the revenge flick "I Spit on Your Grave" (aka "Day of the Woman") crawled into theaters with an ostensible female-empowerment theme many saw as an excuse to depict multiple grueling rapes. Remaking that film is a dubious undertaking; it has yielded a movie that might be slightly more palatable than the first but will be much more quickly forgotten.
