  You should make a Kung Tai Ted episode where Mr. Eggroll is the villain. That would be epic!

  Hey Brad, hope you get better. Never had food poisoning, but I have had the flu. Do you get that same high feeling? I might wanna get some bad fish...
  
  My dad rented this movie. I told him, "You're watching I Spit on Your Grave? That's a Snob movie!" I guess it's just because he'll watch anything with a sexy chick. Stay classy, dad.

  The short version: regardless of what you just saw, see this and draw your own conclusions.
  
  *Spoilers ahead*
  
  The long version:I disagree with this one. For me, the original was boring and overrated. The Matthew character in the original reminded me of Rosie O'Donnell's performance in "Riding the Bus with My Sister". The only thing that got me through was my copy of had a commentary by Joe Bob Briggs.
  
  The remake, on the other hand, took me completely by surprise. While it has its flaws (how the fuck did she evade capture for so long, the whole "teacher" bit, and where's the sheriff's daughter?), this one really resonated with me in a way the original couldn't.
  
  The head guy's death also makes so much more sense in the remake as well. Who would believe that a girl you just brutally raped and assaulted would just come back for more? You're really gonna get in that bath tub? Really?
  
  The actor that portrayed the sheriff was, to me, perfect. At first glance, you truly don't suspect this guy could be capable of what he eventually does. When he starts though, he is genuinely intimidating and creepy.
  
  I'm gonna have to change into my red polo, and point out a few flaws in this review as well. You're sick, so I'll give you a mulligan, but they beg explanation.
  
  First, the tape. Yes, they do tape the assault and rape, and yes, no one says anything about it until after wards. BUT they were planning on killing her to begin with, and no one brings up the video as evidence until she escapes. They were sure they were going to get away with it. So, that part makes sense.
  
  Two, during the fish hooks through the eye lids scene, the heroine smears fish in the man's eyes before leaving him alone. Taking into account that he cant move, it makes sense that some crows would land on him and eat his eyes. I still don't know if that alone would be enough to kill someone though.
  
  On the other hand, I completely agree with you on the whole Matthew situation in this one. I don't think he deserved to die at all, and they really drove that home with his sobbing apology. You really get a sense that he didn't want to harm her, but in the end he gets treated just as badly. I felt bad for the poor guy, but at the same time, that's how compelling the performance was to me.
  
  Anywho, to those who haven't seen it, and are patient enough to read this entire comment, see it for yourself. At the very least, the torture/death scenes are unique and are squirm inducing.
  
  The defense rests, your Honor.

  Well I hope this food poisoning lesson teaches you to stay the fuck out of that dive, lol!
  
  On a side note, that's why I loved Sudden Impact so much. Here is this woman and her sister who are brutally raped and tortured by those memories and she takes it upon herself to kill every single one of these bastards for what they did to her and her sister. It's the ultimate revenge movie that is totally justified.
  
  Back to the review. I Spit On Your Grave is just way too gory for me to watch. I've tried and I just couldn't get myself through it. So I don't think I could ever watch the remake. Hope you get well soon, Brad.

  There's a good reason why I love living in Australia; it's because we don't have to worry about any MPAA bullshit. We don't censor movies...ever!!! Hell, when I Spit On Your Grave was released in '78 it was simply rated R (the Australian NC-17 equivalent) and it was made about ten whole years after we stopped cutting movies. If a film is hardcore, adults-only over here...just don't let your fucking kids watch Nekromantik okay? We don't give a fuck what a movie is rated, we just watch the goddamn movie.

  Can you expect a good remake in this age?
  In one episode of Southpark there is a quote : There is no god and Michael Bay will make movies. I agree with the second part.

  I hope you recover from your food poisoning Brad.
  
  You know what gave me food poisoning? The "I Spit on Your Grave" remake. Seriously this movie is terrible squared. This is one movie I'll admit that I fucking downloaded it, that I stole it, that I fucking pirated it. If I had spent a single dollar on this movie I'd go out in the forest and hope I got raped by rednecks (no offense for that bigoted term). I almost felt RAPED by the movie.
  
  I couldn't stop watching though, oh no, then the movie would have won. So I finished it... the first act was so boring that I kept checking the time to be sure I hadn't fallen into some strange time paradox where nothing ever happens. Then the rape comes... and last far, FAR too long. I wasn't at all amused.
  
  And does it make me a bad person that I was on the sides of the rapists? I mean, I was on Jennifer's side... until she KIDNAPPED the sheriff's daughter. Then I lost all sympathy for her... what little there was.
  
  I hate to say it like this but FUCK this movie... and oh, in this case, I'm an ASS man.
  
  Again I'm sorry for your sickness, this movie couldn't have helped.

  Yet another Gothed up remake. You just can't re-capture the impact of these films.
  I hated the Last House remake too. David Hess can't be bettered by some one who looks like John Cleese on steroids.

  Sorry to hear about your food poisoning Brad..seeing my dad get it about 3 times was downright fucking scary..Anyways..
  I only saw the original "I Spit" movie a few months ago and..well even though i watch a lot of exploitation movies didnt really enjoy "Spit" at all.I guess the whole rape scenario leaves me cold.Or maybe it was the 70's asthetic.
  However as a plot device i understand how powerful a revenge motive it can be.

  The reason why Ebert hates the original is because he saw it with an audience who cheered and made catcalls during the rape scenes. The review he wrote is terrifying.

  If it was a real food poisoning, you'd be in the hospital, not taping a video. The toxin in rotten food is one of the most powerful poisons out there, so it was probably just some colon bacteria.
  Still, I wouldn't order there ever again.
  As for the remake: Meh. That sums it up.

     no....you're confusing food poisoning with BOTULISM, which comes from faulty canned food (ex. the bad batch of canned mushrooms that hit one family). food poisoning just makes you WISH you were dead.

  What offended me most when I read about the remake, was how the film makers claimed that the movie was a social commentary about violence against women and that it teaches women to be empowered.
  
  That alone kept me from watching the movie, it's the same bullshit used by the film makers of A Serbian Film. They made a completely meritless exploitation film and don't have the decency to admit it.

  A-ha-ha-ha, Kung Tai Ted. We meet at last. After years of planning, my evil scheme to annihilate you with crappy Chinese take-out food has finally come to fruition! Bwa ha ha ha ha! Even Pierre Kirby can not save you this time!
  
  OK, seriously, I thought the original movie was definitely one of the weaker rape-revenge films from that era. It seemed like a crappy, stilted movie, which seems trapped in the 1970's (ie. Camille Keaton's afro-bush). Something like "Thriller: A Cruel Picture" I found much more impressive. I don't know what Ebert got so worked up about, except that he hasn't seen many exploitation films. Compared to this, if he ever saw "House on the Edge of the Park" he'd probably drop dead of a heart attack.

  And the reason she could be the teacher is because she said she was from the new school that might take the daughter in.

  The original "I Spit on Your Grave" is a horrible movie, even by the standards of the rape and revenge genre. It's a movie that doesn't even deserve to be remembered, let alone remade. The reason it has no soundtrack is because it doesn't have the budget for one. I do not agree with Ebert that it is the worst film of all time, but I do agree with him that it is artistically worthless as a movie. The people who defend this movie are cretins, not because they're vicarious sex criminals, but because they don't know what good cinema is.
