10 Most Disappointing Horror Movies Of 2015 - Ranked
8. I Spit On Your Grave: Vengeance Is Mine
In what shouldve been called Thrice Spit On Your Grave, the first films female survivor returns and faster than you can say whopping contrivance, shes hunting down the creeps that killed her friend. Whatever your opinion of Steven Monroes decision to remake a movie Roger Ebert described as sick, reprehensible and contemptible, you have to concede that his 2010 movie (and, to a lesser extent, its 2013 sequel) was reasonably effective. Miller didnt direct this one, which reduces its lead character to what Charles Bronson became in the Death Wish sequels a cypher who kills the the bad guys not because he has a believable motive, but because the cheap thrill seekers in the audience expect it. In both films, you can spot the bad guys easily enough because you know theyre evil just by looking at them.
