“This Woman Has Just Cut, Chopped, Broken and Burned Five Men Beyond Recognition… But No Jury In America Would Ever Convict Her!”
That tagline, along with the iconic buttshot of Camille Keaton, is what makes the poster for the exploitation classic I Spit On Your Grave sing. It’s a great tagline – maybe a little wordy by today’s standards, but evocative and awesome.
Now there’s a remake of I Spit On Your Grave, and putting aside the general imbecility of remaking this one of a kind movie, the new poster proves how far removed from the original this is. The tagline reads: “It’s Date Night.”
Oh fuck you. Besides being moronically flippant, the tagline is meaningless. It’s also ironic, the worst way to approach a brutal film like I Spit On Your Grave. Oh, and it’s attached to a fucking remake of I Spit On Your Grave.

Ugh. Why does this need to be remade?
Oh, right. The first one made SO much money.
Oh, like "The Last house on the left" remake – pointless and crap that's only good to make the homefire burning.
Cool-looking poster, at least. Kind of old-school VHS.
The only way this could have been interesting would be to reverse the genders. Have a nebbish scifi nerd get brutally raped by a pack of bull dyke bikers with strap-ons the size of Pringles cans. He then scrapes his balls up from the floor and goes for revenge.
One of a kind, my ass.
Honestly, is there one good horror film remake out there? Are they all complete wastes of time? I honestly can't recall the last time I saw a good one worth my time. The Crazies was decent, but it was just another zombie film to me. All these remakes are utter crap and just a way to cash in the easy buck.
freaking remakes.. make it stop.
Comment #5—-Really, I think "One of a kind" in Devin-speak equals "The one people remember", and even then, it's probably more because of the poster and the name, which wasn't even it's original name. I guess you could say then that the most memorable thing about the film is it's marketing and that as a 10-year old, I really wanted to rent it. 10th try with the verification…
The odd thing about that tagline is that she only did those things to 4 men.
Freaking fix verification already. I am unable to participate in the discussion.
Is that poster supposed to imply she is about to shear off my genitalia?
THIS. WILL. BE. SHIT.
When can we expect the remake of Cannibal Holocaust?
"Oh fuck you." I love you Devin.
Doubtless this will be shit but it sure can't be any worse than the original which was always a tawdry, badly-made POS. Watching that crap made me ashamed to be human.
"That tagline, along with the iconic buttshot of Camille Keaton,…" Fail on inside exploitation geek cred. Its not Keaton at all. Its actually Charles Band's then girlfriend Demi Moore (!) who posed for the cover shot.
I am a diehard fan and I see no reason for this remake to exist. The poster tells you how crappy this movie will be.
ok, guys, get a LIFE!
