I Spit on Your Grave 1978 vs. 2010

[endo]

Which one you like better? I thought both were pretty good, but the original is another one of those movies I didn't see the need to re-do.

The original is a cult classic and is noted mainly for the sheer brutality of the attacks on the main character and her brutality in return as she gets them back. All done on a shoe string budget and with minimal effects.

While the new one had brutal scenes, I just didn't think they captured the same intensity the first one had.

So, anyway, I'm going with the original. Which one you guys and gals like better?

[NDX]

Undecided, because I've seen neither yet and I've wanted to see both for a while now. Almost tempted to drop the $20 at Best Buy one day already to see these.

[endo]

If it's $20 for both go for it. If it's each skip the newer one and I'll make you a copy. It's really nothing that different.

[NDX]

I think they're both $9.99 each now. Still, will have to wait a few months before I go that route, wait for the summer before. I need to cut back on any spending after this month; 6 trades today, and granted only $25 for about $100 worth of books, but still. Need to cut back.

[endo]

Yeah, I hear you. For some reason I have no extra income anymore, and I can't figure out where it's going. Granted I don't make as much as I did at the last store, but I was fine just a few months ago.

Gotta do some sleuthing to find out what's what.

I haven't seen the remake. Some movies just don't need to be re-made, IMO, and this was one of them.

I never saw the remake but I have to say I didnt even like the first one I think its possibly the most over rated film in horror history.

[endo]

I thought the first one was great. Well, maybe not great, but I liked it a lot. Especially for the time it was made. You want to see an overrated movie, check out Snuff.

Pure garbage that everyone was saying was a must see.

I went with the remake. I agree with Joey in thinking the original is completely overrated. I know it was made for almost nothing, but even if it had a budget it would be bad. What was supposed to be the most brutal rape scene in movie history is a complete joke. Not to sound cruel, but it looked so ridiculous that i started to laugh and fast forward it. The movie is known for nothing more than having a 30 minute long rape scene, which was probably only put in to make the film longer, because it has absolutely nothing else worth mentioning in it. I feel like the guys got off WAY too easy.

The remake was a lot more brutal in every way. The rape scene was nowhere near as long but had a way better effect, especially the torture before they did rape her. Also, the payback was MUCH more fulfilling. Definitely a much better film than the original.

Meh, guess it just has sentimental value to me and the fact that I don't dig unnecessary remakes. Nice variety of replies in this poll. I like it.

[gorepolice]

Most remakes are pretty unneeded, but when a film is as bad as this one, I think a remake is fine.

[endo]

I could watch the movie now and love it. Didn't think it was bad at all. But that's just me and I like Creepshow 3, so there ya go.

[gorepolice]

We all love movies that others on here think are the worst thing ever. It's just who we are.

[endo]

My wife probably takes your side on this one, but she'll watch it and like it dammit. Unless, of course, she doesn't want to.

[gorepolice]

Lol. Nice save there Dave. I'm gonna use that one on my girlfriend at some point.
