4/10
Riding on a tried theme
25 December 2018
This film has a similar theme and takes one back to the story in the movie ' I spit on your grave (1978)'. As such this was a 'copy' and one knew exactly what was going to happen. The acting was poor and the film looked and felt crude, even cheap. It never created tension, concern or suspense. Had I never seen 'I spit on your grave', I would, perhaps, have enjoyed it more.

A number of reviewers mentioned that the rape scene was very realistic. I can't concur as I have no experience. In my view it looked absurd and staged. The revenge took a similar route as the police were useless.

I prefer the original story of 1978, as such theme had never been seen before and took the world by surprise. This film was really suspenseful and was banned in a number of countries originally. The remake in 2010 was also successful.
