Anchor Bay has just released this new poster for the upcoming remake of I Spit On Your Grave, one that’s so much improved from that last miscarriage of an attempt, and that’s because it’s pretty much a direct lift of the original poster.
For (ass) comparison-

I appreciate how they managed to stick Day of the Women (the original title of the film) in there as well. You’ll note that the film will be hitting theaters in an unrated cut, which is impressive. But can they top the original, one of the great female revenge films that still to this day makes audiences incredibly uncomfortable (just check these comments)? We shall see…

Yeah, this'll be hitting as many theaters as Hatchet 2, i.e. a couple of Alamo screenings then straight to DVD. This flick is going to be a disgrace.
Honestly, it looks like something I'd see wasting away on a shelf at Best Buy. I'd pass it and say to myself, "Wow, that looks awfully like– something. Isn't half as interesting, though," and go about my business.
Yeah, there's no way that poster will ever appear in a chain movie theater.
Amazing how they can recycle the same imagery and still find a way to make it excruciatingly dull. What in the Hell kind of credentials does it require to be a poster artist these days?
Ha. The other one's about chopping cocks and this one's about rape fantasy. Make up your your fucking minds ladies!
I'll tell you something… you go walking around in front of a excavation site with an ass that looks so damn good in some sexy ripped shorts, looking like a pig in heat, and it will be you fault when you get raped by a pack of…..diggers
The remake's poster doesn't really make it look like the gal has been assaulted – if anything she looks like she has some dirt on her and is otherwise going for a pretty sexy look. At least in the original poster she looks a bit more beat up, plus she doesn't have a perfectly toned body. Granted, both are going for some level of "sex sells" in their poster, but the new one just simply fals to convey that the gal has been through some serious shit.
There is a review for the film over at Dread Central. Evidently the remake is darker and more vicious than the original (WTF!!!) and is quite a violent and grotesque chore to sit through…just like the original. I am no fan of the first film (or the rape/revenge genre) so I do not know if I will bother to get out and see it. Depends.
Typical: the new one features what is apparently the ass of an eight-year-old boy. The original poster – now that's an ass, damn it! Wait, it's not an ass. That's lunch! (I'm not proud.)
