Quick Answer

What is I Spit on Your Grave about?

I Spit on Your Grave is a 2010 American crime, horror, and thriller film directed by Steven R. Monroe about a woman writer who is assaulted and seeks violent revenge on her attackers.

Programmer's Pick

Steven R. Monroe’s remake does not pull punches: it’s confrontational, grim, and unapologetically graphic. Sarah Butler’s Jennifer is as unyielding as the Louisiana wilds she’s thrust into, and the film’s raw approach to revenge horror is strictly for the strong-stomached.

Overview

Novelist Jennifer Hills leaves New York City for the isolation of rural Louisiana, hoping to find inspiration and solitude to work on her next book. Early encounters with the locals range from awkward to uncomfortable, particularly after a gas station attendant's failed flirtation and a plumber's well-meaning but misunderstood gesture. When Jennifer's small kindness is relayed to a group of local men, resentment begins to simmer—especially for Johnny, whose bruised ego leads him to plot against her. As night falls, the sense of unease grows, setting the stage for a harrowing ordeal that will test Jennifer’s resilience and willpower. What follows is a relentless, uncompromising exploration of violence, survival, and the pursuit of justice far from the eyes of the law.
