I was surprised to see the 2010 remake to Meir Zarchi's infamous 1978 film I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE had a sequel. It was actually the last film I expected they'd make a sequel for yet here it is. At first I thought it might've been some cheap cash in on the first one but I found out Steven Monroe was back at the helm and that I reckoned could be a good sign.
I did get to see it eventually and it turned out to be a very good sequel but it's not on the same level as the first one. Mainly because the plot of the first one had a degree of believability where this one even though it was more extreme it was a little less believable as it stretches that line a little thin.
The acting however was one of the more outstanding features of this film. Newcomer Jemma Dalender gives a very strong performance as the lead character. I didn't compare her performance with Sarah Butler's from the first film as I am now a fan of both ladies and both really gave great performances in their respective roles.
Lastly, I haven't seen the original, that's why I didn't make comparisons, although from what I heard about it I can tell it's not a film for everyone and neither are the latter two so if you feel you can handle either one then I recommend you see them.
