20 Depraved Movies Only Truly Sick Individuals Could Enjoy
12. I Spit On Your Grave 2 (2013)
Steven R. Monroe’s 2010 remake of the enduring 1978 cult-classic I Spit On Your Grave was surprisingly strong, so it’s disappointing that this sequel - from the same director - should prove exactly the kind of bottom-feeding exploitation trash one expected the last time around.
In the film, Katie (Jemma Dallender) is an aspiring model living in New York City. At the advice of a friend, she looks to re-vamp her portfolio, but doesn’t have the money to hire professionals. This leads her to follow an advertisement for free modeling pictures. Meeting three brothers, she quickly discovers that their operation might not legitimate, and leaves as they ask her to “show a little more skin.” But when one of the brothers becomes infatuated with her, rapes her, and kills a worried neighbor, she ends up in Bulgaria, chained up in their basement – until she gets free and acquires a taste for revenge.
Gore and nastiness are plentiful, but they’re just wearyingly gratuitous rather than truly shocking. Also, there is definitely something amiss when, amid depiction of so much grievous bodily harm, your mind drifts to how silly the lead actresses’ repertoire of screams and whimpers often sounds.
