![]() No one in front of or behind the camera knows what they’re doing. Nope, that implies that anyone knows what they’re doing and guess what? No one does. Not a single solitary second of this film is even remotely worthy of anyone’s time and considering that there is almost two and a half hours of film here to look at, surely there should be at least a single solitary second of film that is good just by random chance. There is nothing about this film that makes it worthy of existing. This film barely sticks in the memory during its two and a half hour runtime. There’s a weird catharsis in that, hell the longest-running primetime series in TV history ( Law & Order: SVU) basically lives by that idea so I get why the original film manages to stick around in the memory for over 40 years. On top of that, it at least provided what one could expect from the genre of Rape-Revenge… namely, there is a rape victim who gets her revenge. It’s an endurance test of a film that people watch for the bragging rights, show how much you can handle by watching one of the most brutal films around. Much as I loathe to admit it, I can at least see the appeal of the original. ![]() Naturally, this means that the relatives of the original rapists want to find and kill Jennifer, and might also rape and kill her daughter Christy (Jamie Bernadette) while they’re there, because why not? Also, I hate this film, I hate this day, and I hate the fact that I’m typing words right now to tell you about it but this is what I have decided to do with my life. Listening to her interviews are the relatives of her rapists, all of whom believe that Jennifer was Satan’s temptress who seduced their rapist family members and forced them to force their penises inside her. Starring Camille Keaton, reprising her role as Jennifer Hills from the original film, Deja Vu shows that Jennifer has written a book about the events of the original film and is doing interviews to promote it. I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu is a direct sequel to the original, much in the same vein that Halloween (2018) is a direct sequel to the original Halloween, set 40 years after the events of the first movie. It was even remade in 2010 with a proper budget and filming equipment… and then Meir Zarchi decided he wanted to pick up a camera again and, since nobody tackled him to the ground while screaming ‘NO!’ loudly as they could, we ended up being saddled with I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu. It’s not a great film by any means but it does earn its place in history as a piece of exploitation cinema, the likes of which we had never seen before. While I Spit On Your Grave might not be the first film in the exploitation subgenre known as the Rape-Revenge film, it’s certainly the most infamous due to its brutality and the rawness of the lead performance. Directed by first time director Meir Zarchi, the film was soon branded as one of the most shocking pieces of exploitation cinema to ever be released. Then, she shows all three B's creeping around the woods to plan her revenge.In 1978, the film I Spit On Your Grave was unleashed onto an unsuspecting public. ![]() But, while she's not the spitting image of Camille, this one's all about seeing Jamie go full frontal while getting revenge on the backwoods losers who did terrible things to her. Her dress gets ripped off of her to show off her perky ta-ta's and black bush - but she keeps her high black boots on. Well endowed always ages well! As one of the rednecks into forcing sex, Maria Olsen, meanwhile takes off her own top and goes breast-out as she fights with Chrissy. She does keeps it sexy, however, in a torn up top that shows cleavage. Camille Keaton reprises her role, but not the nudity from the original. With her revenge genes, and a lack of empathy she just might have inherited from the mysterious father she's never met, it's time for Christy to do some killing. But while Jennifer might be too over the hill to fight them off and hunt them down, her daughter Christy is in her prime. One day the pair get kidnapped by the family of all the dead dudes Jennifer offed way back when, who prove to be just as awful as their kicked the bucket kin. ![]() These days Jennifer is a victim's advocate and author, while her daughter Christy ( Jamie Bernadette) is a model. This legacy sequel brings back Camille Keatons' Jennifer Hills, the former final girl who slaughtered all the dudes who did unthinkable things to her back in the original. I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu (2019) ignores the 2010 reboot and its sequels to bring back the star of the infamous 1978 revenge flick.
