Nice ending but nowhere near the realm of reality.

I honestly couldn't sit through the whole film mate! The original is one of my favourite films, and the remake took everything that made the original great and threw it in the rubbish. lol The main characters had none of the traits that made them "scary" in the original, and it tried to explain too much. It's one of my most hated remakes along with the remake of When A Stranger Calls. Even Tim Burtons Planet of the Apes remake rates higher!

i agree, the remake wasnt that good. i like how the original was just raw and gritty. every time i watch it i want to watch 'i spit on your grave' along with it, lol. also, finally, someone who thought the original of when a stranger calls (or even knew there was one, for that matter) was better than a remake. what a terrible, terrible remake.

I spit on your grave was good hopefully the new remake has the same affect

Next clue

Didn't know they were making a remake of I Spit on Your Grave. It will probably get neutered by the movie rating board.

Yeah, I didn't (and most people don't) know how shady the rating system is. I wonder if it is as bad with the ESRB (don't think it is because of things like God of War cutscenes, graphic war games, etc).

Exactly. Plus Krug and Co were crazy, they just enjoyed being mean and sadistic. The film never tried to explain why or anything, unlike the remake. Also showing them escape at the beginning ruined part of the atmosphere. In the original when you say Junkie you didn't know he was going to be part of a vicious gang. He just seemed like a loser trying to score. Whereas in the remake you knew they were all bad before you even met the girls. There were just so many things wrong with it. And yeah, I loved the original When A Stranger Calls. Been one of my favourite films since I was a kid.

Damn you dino! I thought I'd got it right for a second there! I'll leave it for someone else to guess next. I hate doing the guess after guess thing, it feels unfair.

MelodieOctavia · Sep 17, 2010

Peter Pan! Hah! I would have guessed Hook also, but that doesn't look like Rufio.

LocoRoco · Sep 17, 2010

Peter Pan

Miami Vice?

OT: *Sorry if I got your hopes up Trolley* I watched the original Last House on the Left and I just went away with feelings like if the SweatHogs had raped and killing ppl... Not that the remake is good but just ok...
