![]() ![]() The rape scene, which lasts nearly 30 minutes, is an endurance of human suffering on screen that’s as effective as it is repulsive. The story about author Jennifer Hills (Camille Keaton) and her revenge on her five rapists, is a difficult movie to watch. When horror fans discuss the most controversial, the most powerful, the most unnerving movies, it’s inevitable that the discussion centers on writer/director Meir Zarchi’s 1978 grindhouse classic, I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE. This is a pointless sequel that never had any reason to exist and does nothing to convince you otherwise.Meir Zarchi digs up old hostilities and new players for “I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu”, the official sequel to the controversial 1978 rape-revenge film. Honestly, I have no clue how this movie made it out of an editing room. Unnecessary, boring, at least an hour too long, devoid of any filmmaking style – I could go on and on. In fact, it may be one of the worst movies I have watched. Hands down, I Spit On Your Grave Deja Vu is the worst movie I’ve reviewed or this site. In Deja Vu, Bernadette offers at least a more grounded performance. A ‘Scream Queen’ in the making, Bernadette previously appeared in the fun 4/20 Massacre and the mixed The Sixth Friend. Perhaps the only cast member to escape relatively unscathed is Jamie Bernadette, as Christy Hills. Though Camille Keaton is back as Jennifer Hills, she looks either bored or tired. … Deja Vu takes itself too seriously to laugh at, but its villains are too good to menace. Unfortunately, Deja Vu takes itself too seriously to laugh at, but its villains are too goofy to menace. If you take the poorly written characters along with the over-the-top performances, what you get are cartoonish antagonists. As for Zarchi’s villains, they’re bizarre caricatures of southern hillbillies that would put Rob Zombie to shame. Oh, and there’s also a priest who just sits at an organ in a locked church. ![]() It’s a place that’s solely populated by family members of Jennifer Hills’ murdered assaulters. I Spit On Your Grave Deja Vu takes us back to the original small town. Everything about Deja Vu is underwhelming. That movie knew how to get mileage out of its garish revenge scenes. Love it or hate it, the 2010 remake fashioned its vengeance after the stylish ‘Torture Porn’ subgenre. There’s no signs of any type of craftsmanship in how anything is filmed. Scenes that should elicit discomfort either just feel tasteless or watered down by dragging on endlessly. Zarchi isn’t able to evoke the slightest amount of suspense or tension. Simply put, I Spit on Your Grave Deja Vu is a dull and ugly-looking movie. What you’ll get in place is a scene where a demented woman wearing an army helmet drives an ATV through a cemetery. If that’s what you expect from the sequel, prepare to be disappointed. And Zarchi reminds of his original’s ugliness with flashbacks during the opening credits. That movie’s infamy largely stems from its unrelenting scenes of vile cruelty. ![]() Even if you liked the original I Spit On Your Grave, you’d be hardpressed to convince many people that it’s a well-made movie. If you cut an hour out of the movie you might have something remotely resembling a suspenseful thriller except … I Spit On Your Grave Deja Vu Is Poorly Made in All Regardsĭirector Meir Zarchi has only made three movies in the last 40 years, including Deja Vu. Whether the movie’s length reflects a lack of craftsmanship or some misguided notion about what was in the story is open to debate. And to make matters worse, those pointless scenes are needlessly drawn out. The movie’s opening brunch with mother and daughter, for instance, crawls for almost 15 minutes. If you cut an hour out of the movie you might have something remotely resembling a suspenseful thriller except …Īs a result, what you get are a bunch of scenes that drag long past their expiration date. No argument could be made to justify its length. Keep in mind, this is a very belated, low-budget sequel to a lurid 70’s exploitation movie. Comparatively, I Spit On Your Grave Deja Vu is 2 hours and 28 minutes! Yes, you read that right. Get Out clocks in at 1 hour and 44 minutes. Chief among its problems is the movie’s bloated length. Spoiler alert – I Spit On Your Grave Deja Vu is a really, really bad movie. Prepare for the cycle of vengeance to continue. After a brunch with her supermodel daughter, Christy, family members of the men she murdered kidnap mother and daughter. The justice system acquitted her of all charges in her brutal revenge spree. Forty years after her harrowing experience, Jennifer Hills is now a best-selling author. ![]()
