Most horror remakes from the late 2000s/early 2010s are forgettable. I Spit on Your Grave 2010 is not. It spawned two sequels ( I Spit on Your Grave 2 , 2013, and I Spit on Your Grave: Vengeance is Mine , 2015) and an upcoming direct sequel to the 2010 film itself (with Sarah Butler returning). It also influenced a wave of “rape-revenge” indies like Revenge (2017) and The Nightingale (2018), both of which owe a debt to this film’s unapologetic brutality.

Let’s look at the numbers and legacy. In the horror genre, remakes usually fail (see: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010). I Spit on Your Grave 2010 succeeded.
