‘I Spit On Your Grave’ Official Poster and Synopsis!
by Britt Hayes
Thanks to the awesome Drew McWeeny of HitFix for sending this my way since our e-mail from Anchor Bay somehow got lost. I’ll blame the interweb trolls. Like dryer trolls, only more evil.
Anyway. I interviewed the four leads of director Steven Monroe’s remake of I Spit On Your Grave over the weekend and I’ll have that up for you guys this week. Until then, the official poster has been released along with the synopsis:
A remake of the controversial 1979 cult classic, I Spit on Your Grave retells the horrific tale of writer Jennifer Hills, who takes a retreat from the city to a charming cabin in the woods to start on her next book. But Jennifer’s presence in the small town attracts the attention of a few morally deprived locals who set out one night to teach this city girl a lesson.
They break into her cabin to scare her. However, what starts out as terrifying acts of humiliation and intimidation, quickly and uncontrollably escalates into a night of physical abuse and torturous assault. But before they can kill her, Jennifer sacrifices her broken and beaten body to a raging river that washes her away.
As time passes, the men slowly stop searching for her body and try to go back to life as usual. But that isn’t about to happen. Against all odds, Jennifer Hills survived her ordeal. Now, with hell bent vengeance, Jennifer’s sole purpose is to turn the tables on these animals and to inflict upon them every horrifying and torturous moment they carried out on her… only much, much worse.
As for the poster…I like the look of it, even though it borders on Asian ghost horror. The gardening shears are a fantastic touch. Unfortunately, the tagline (which is also used in the teaser trailer I saw at Texas Frightmare Weekend) is a bit…cheesy, and I might even say it diminishes the seriousness of the subject matter. It almost feels like they wanted the tagline to be “It’s date night, bitch!” See for yourself:
