2018 marks 40 years since Jennifer Hills (Camille Keaton) cut, chopped, broke and burned five men beyond recognition in I Spit On Your Grave but you can’t keep a vigilante down so she returns in this aptly titled sequel.

Now 70 years old (!?) and living with her daughter, a New York model, Jennifer’s déjà vu kicks in when she’s kidnapped by the relatives of the rapists from the original movie, who’ve presumably been biding their time for four decades. Probably waiting for the phone call that would drag them away from lives of quiet despair, you know how hillbillies are.

This is unrelated to the 2010 remake but it’s just as opportunistic, seizing on the apparent nostalgia for the original and turning it into a franchise. Leaving aside the question of why anyone would want to franchise a rape-revenge movie in the first place, just imagine the dangerous precedent this movie is setting. In another forty years, we can look forward to seeing Liam Neeson in Taken: Déjà vu.
