If you thought I Spit on Your Grave 2 was a stupid idea, then news of a part three might put you in a dumb coma. But it’s coming. According to the fine folks over at BloodyDisgusting, I Spit on Your Grave 3 is “being pre-sold at the market” at Cannes.

Currently no one has been announced for writing or directing, but some plot details have been revealed by BD’s source:

The third film will focus on a serial killer that uses a crisis hotline to target rapists. One of the counselor’s has a dark past, which sends Detectives sniffing in her direction — but is she the killer they’re looking for?

What are you thoughts on a third film in the I Spit on Your Grave franchise? Something you want, or is it unnecessary?

I Spit on Your Grave stars Camille Keaton as Jennifer Hills, a writer who leaves the bustling city of New York to write her next novel in the rural countryside. She rents a house at Parkhill Lake and on her trip she stops at a local gas station to fill her tank and ask for directions. We are introduced to the station attendant, Johnny (Eron Tabor), and his two hoodlum friends, Stanley (Anthony Nichols) and Andy (Gunter Kleemann). While Johnny tends to Jennifer’s car he has a casual conversation with her, and Andy and Stanley play a knife game in the grass nearby.

Although Johnny is acting politely, he and his two friends look to be unpleasant characters, judging from their dress and ownership of a switchblade. Being the middle of the day, Andy and Stanley seem to be unemployed hangers-on to their leader, Johnny.

Not a shy woman, Jennifer reaches the house and is so enraptured with the riverside location she immediately undresses and goes for a swim. This gives the audience the first glimpse of nudity. It’s also director Meir Zarchi first opportunity to create sexual arousal in the viewer, a response he will soon turn to disgust, followed by horror.

After a short swim, Zarchi cuts to Jennifer inside the bedroom of the house unpacking. When she puts some clothes in the top drawer of a dresser, she discovers a pistol of unknown origin. The director is telling us that further into the film Jennifer will be in danger and will use the gun in some way. The swim foreshadows the sex, the gun foreshadows the violence: If theater-goers weren’t paying close attention before, they were now.

The doorbell rings and now we meet mentally challenged grocery delivery boy Matthew (Richard Pace). Jennifer is somewhat surprised that Matthew found the place (we must assume Jennifer called in a grocery order as it wasn’t shown in the film). The director is now telling us Jennifer’s location is secluded and out of the way to any visitors. Matthew informs Jennifer he knows the area well as he has delivered there numerous times.

After Matthew leaves Jennifer, we see him join up with Johnny and his friends at the gas station. Matthew brags about seeing Jennifer’s breasts and they all kill the rest of the day by going fishing and talking about screwing women from the city.

The next day we find Jennifer near the river writing while in a hammock. Two of the hoodlums are in a motorboat and they show off speeding around in circles like idiots. Jennifer cannot continue writing with the disturbance so she leaves and goes inside the house.

Jennifer continues writing her book into the evening until she hears strange noises coming from outside the house. She investigates, but finds nothing.

The next afternoon we find Jennifer out on the river sunbathing in a canoe. Stanley and Andy come by in the motorboat and tie a rope to the canoe. They pull the canoe to shore. Jennifer tries to defend herself with an oar, but when it slips from her hands she runs into the woods to try to escape. The two hoodlums chase after her.

Johnny is waiting for Jennifer in the woods and throws her to the ground. He rips off her bathing suit and he, along with Stanley and Andy, pins her to the ground. Johnny calls out Matthew from the bush and tells him to have sex with her. The boys discussed getting Matthew a girl the night before while fishing and Johnny tells Matthew this is his chance to lose his cherry.

Matthew still refuses, so Johnny has him help the other men pin Jennifer to the ground while he rapes her. Jennifer walks away afterward and the men let her go. After she walks a few hundred yards they surround her and Andy takes his turn.

The men walk away and leave Jennifer half conscience draped over a rock. They return to the motorboat and leave the area, taking Jennifer’s canoe along with them. They dump the canoe in the middle of the river and continue on without it.

Jennifer manages to make it back to the house and crawls to the phone in the living room. Unfortunately, the men are waiting for her in the house and Stanley kicks the phone from her hands. This time Jennifer takes the initiative and begins to fight back by biting Stanley in the leg and ear, but she is no match for the larger and stronger man and she quits after repeated blows to the head, ribs, and stomach.

After some more stomach-churning violence and rape, Johnny tells Matthew to return inside with his switchblade to kill Jennifer so she can’t identify them. Matthew enters the house but doesn’t have the constitution to commit murder. Instead, he wipes the blade in blood from Jennifer’s face and runs back to the others. Johnny sees the blood and believes Matthew committed the crime.

Jennifer wakes up and takes a bath and goes to bed. After the shock wears off, she contemplates what to do. She smokes, takes walks in the forest, retypes her manuscript, and finally decides to kill the motherfuckers who raped her.

Two weeks pass and we see the guys together at a cafe speaking about the murder and worrying about the stench the body must be making in the summer heat. To investigate the problem, Johnny sends Stanley and Andy to reconnoiter the area. From the motorboat, they see Jennifer alive and sitting on the lawn.

Because of his deception, Matthew receives a beating from the boys and is sent on his way having lost the only friends he had in the town. Meanwhile, Jennifer drives to a local church and asks for forgiveness, presumably for the crimes she is about to commit.

Jennifer drives to the gas station and from a distance sees that Johnny has a wife and two kids. She then moves to the grocery store and sees that Matthew is working. She returns home and telephones in a food order knowing that Matthew will be sent with the delivery.

When Matthew arrives and sees her, he becomes frightened and pulls out a knife. Jennifer lures him down to the river under a large tree. She undoes her white dress to show Matthew her naked body and tells him there is no reason to be angry with her because of the loss of his friends (he blames her presence in the area for the loss) as she will be his friend and give him a summer to remember.

Jennifer unbuckles Matthew’s pants and pulls him down on top of her. While he’s having sex with her, she slips a noose around his neck. She pulls him off and strings him up from a tree. He dies hanging there with his pants around his ankles.

After Matthew’s death, Jennifer unties him and throws his body and his delivery bicycle into the river. She returns to the house and to further cover her tracks, telephones the grocery store to complain that she ordered food over an hour previous and the delivery has yet to arrive.

Yell! Magazine Review:

Sure, we’ve seen plenty of revenge movies, but few let us get behind a woman who has been brutally violated–Christ, she was savagely gang raped, I might as well call it what it is. And fewer movies, save Last House on the Left and Irréversible, show a rape scene as graphically as it is portrayed in I Spit on Your Grave. Speaking of rape scenes, I’m always left feeling a bit sick in the stomach after watching them. I guess if I felt anything else, I’d be a sick bastard.

The first half of I Spit on Your Grave basically builds an ungodly amount of gut-wrenching tension and suspense, taking time to develop characters and scene. We have Jennifer Hills (Sarah Butler), a writer, taking some time at a cabin deep in the middle of nowhere to finish her book. She has an unfortunate run-in with a few of the local boys, who then take it upon themselves to torment the shit out of her before gang raping her. There are interesting twists within all of this that’ll remain unsaid so that you can discover them for yourself.

The second half of this three-act film dives into the revenge, and some of the traps Sarah devises for these local white-trash boys puts to shame anything we witnessed in the Saw franchise. Let’s just say you’ll never look at fish hooks and crows the same way again. Nor will you look at hedge clippers the same.

But do you feel anything for Sarah in I Spit on Your Grave? You most certainly do. In fact, you’ll be rooting for her and you may be surprised that you support her extreme acts of violence. Some might argue that what she does goes beyond justice, that two wrongs don’t make a right, blah, blah, blah, but, though I’ve never been raped, I’m sure that anyone who has been has felt the rage and the desire to kill their attacker.

Some of the developments in the story (cell phone meets toilet) seem contrived and the one-liners are predictable, but I Spit on Your Grave is a solid film with loads of suspense, stomach-turning scenarios, and brutal violence. You should see this if you haven’t already.

There were plenty of other things that made me cringe in I Spit on Your Grave 2. I don’t know about you, but i really don’t care too much about rape/torture films… especially if it’s a woman. It’s pretty much a huge turn-off. The point of these visceral and graphic films, however, is to shock the audience and to make you feel uncomfortable… and if it doesn’t, there’s something horribly fucking wrong with you.

Shock me once, shame on you. Shock me twice, shame on me. When the original 1978 Meir Zarchi I Spit on Your Grave and the 1972 Wes Craven Last House on the Left came out, they were truly shocking since it was the first time most people saw anything so powerful in its violent realism. Then the 2010 and 2009 remakes, respectively, shocked again. And it made sense to remake/update them for a new generation of moviegoers. But to actually make a sequel is retarded. What purpose does it serve to see how much further you can push the envelope? For whatever reason, this sequel formula seems to work for Saw, Hostel, and even The Human Centipede. Perhaps it’s because those films are clearly based in fantasy, but I Spit on Your Grave 2 seems more aligned with Faces of Death II.

To sum it up, as I already mentioned, this hot girl is kidnapped and raped numerous times — even by a stick taser, which left her love box bloody… eww! But it’s not over. She is then buried alive in a gig lock box in the rapist’s basement. And it’s still not over. By some twist of fate, the floor under her breaks and she falls a good 20 feet, which ultimately breaks open the box. She fell into an underground tunnel system that runs underneath the entire city. Guess what villains… she’s coming back for revenge.

She kidnaps her captors one by one and kills them off in the most gruesome manner. One dude has his two nuts squished with a bench vise, another dude drowns in a toilet of shit, and the dude that raped her with the stick taser is electrocuted in the most inhumane way. Shouldn’t have fucked with her. I don’t want to spoil every part of the movie, and I’m pretty sure I told you enough as it is.

Even the 1978 original still remains just as controversial today, and it was one of the few releases of it’s time to put “rape and revenge” films on the forefront in the exploitation scene. Including Wes Craven’s 1972 classic, Last House on the Left. Once you’ve seen this kind of films, you just can’t get it out of your head. No wonder that kick ass ad campaign ‘It’s only a movie’…” for Last House worked so damn well. Personally, I think It would be so cool If they brought it back for the exclusive theatrical release of I Spit On Your Grave 2 in Los Angeles on Friday, September, 20th, 2013. Unfortunately, I doubt it will be promoted in mainstream theaters.

Anyway, a new trailer just dropped for the film, and will also be available on Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand on Tuesday, September 24, 2013.

Check it out!

I honestly enjoyed the Steven R. Monroe remake of I Spit on Your Grave, but I don’t want a sequel. I don’t see the point, other than it being an opportunity to cash in on the name. And, aren’t sequels supposed to have something carried over in terms of character or something? Certainly the theme of revenge is a carried over, which might have worked for Hostel, but I don’t think the effect will work as well here. I suppose our heroine could be a relative to the family in the first installment, but the odds of such terrors happening to one family are slim, and for it to happen twice to the same family! Fugget about it.

At any rate, I’m sure what director Steven R. Monroe and script writers Thomas Fenton and Neil Elman have planned for us will be terrifying and visceral. Seeing is believing, and we can all see it exclusively on September 20, 2013, at an L.A. theatrical engagement or on Blu-Ray Combo Pack, DVD, and On Demand on September 24, 2013.
