First Word on 'I Spit on Your Grave' Remake

Bloody Disgusting has been on the forefront of everything related to Anchor Bay's I Spit on Your Grave (aka Day of the Woman) remake, which is currently lensing in Shreveport, LA. With the cast locked in and Steven Monroe behind the camera, not much is known other than Anchor Bay is pushing to get this out by October of 2010. Over this holiday weekend Moviehole caught up with Monroe who talked about his love for the original, how they've modernized this revenge tale and a bit about who he thinks is going to be a big time star.

Pictured: Sarah Butler

In the original, a woman is abducted, brutally attacked and raped and then left for dead. She survives, hunts her attackers and dispatches them in graphic ways. Director Steven Monroe talked a bit about upping the ante.

"We wanted to stay as true to the original as possible while making sure it was updated in a few ways," Monroe tells Moviehole.net in an exclusive first ever interview. "There is one additional lead character, a Sheriff played by Andrew Howard, and of course we upped the brutality and length of the tortures and kills - as they were quite short in the original - which was really a disturbing Thriller at heart not a Horror film. I also wanted to update the look of the film and give it a very voyeuristic quality and gritty realism."

In the original 1978 film Camille Keaton played Jennifer Hills, a woman dead set on revenge. Sarah Butler takes over the role in the remake, an up-and-comer that Monroe thinks will become a huge star in the near future.

"I believe Sarah Butler is going to be a huge star," Monroe says of the actress playing heroine, Jennifer. "She took this role on fearlessly and nailed it like I don't think anyone else could have. I can't and will never say enough about her. There are also a lot of horror fans out there already complaining that the cast is all no names, I can personally guarantee you that no actress with a name would have had the guts to pull of what Sarah did or went through during shooting, no way. She is awesome.’"

There is NO way they are going to remake this with the same plot. Rape then the girl goes back ad bites guys dicks off?? Not gunna go well. Look what happened to LHOTL. It was a great remake, but not even close to what the original was. This isnt going to go well.

She cuts his penis off in the bathtub. Don't recall her biting any of them off... I can't imagine why they'd remake this film. The original is so ugly and worthless. It has no reason to exist. Hopefully they give this one some commentary. People who can't see a difference between this and Craven's LHOTL are truly blind...

So is this going to be like The Last House on the Left where they get some teen-friendly cast and pussy out with the violence? Why remake something like this, it was unpleasant the first time round?

People will NEVER learn that the slasher and gore "environment" that made possible for independent movies like "I spit in your Grave" and LHOTL in the 70s and 80s CAN'T be recreated, specially in this era of ultra-politically correctness . Damn...

I actually liked the original, which was hated by many. I'm looking forward to this.

I'd rather watch my cat shit in his litter box. What next, a NORBIT remake?

I doubt it's gonna be anything realistic or gritty like they say. It's gonna be gory to the point where it's laughable; yes, and it will be trashy and sloppy with the dialogue. Believe that too. I doubt that it will be smart and layered without trying to carry blood all over to get to the point.

Dear Anchor Bay, For every ounce of casting news, screenshots, and general progress this movie makes I will kill a kitten. How does that make you feel, Anchor Bay? You are now responsible for the lives of many, many kittens. I know you will do the right thing and cease production of this movie. Though, your intent to create this remake does display a vast amount of soullessness, I'm sure you cannot handle having THAT much (kitten) blood on your hands. Thank you graciously.

This will no doubt mark the first time that you'll be able to buy a horror/rape film at Wal-Mart.

I know I will be buying a copy as soon as it comes out on dvd! Actully I liked the original, and as for the remake of Last house on the left, I thought it was pretty damn good...

if they can make it more brutal and shit, i'm alright with it.

Im assuming they mean update as meaning, pussified. You can not make this movie in this day and age and expect any kind of theatrical release if they stayed true to the original. Im sure she will turn out to be the tough badass chic after she is off screen raped and come back for revenge and even if that revenge is more than a R rating it will be offscreen and more implied instead of shown. I have 0 interest in this, if I want to watch Ill spit on your grave Ill get my dvd out of the original and watch it because that is the real movie.

it sounds like some of you are scared to see rape on the big screen. if there can be 6 saws of people ripping each others limbs off, why cant we see a couple of rapes. Last house did a good job of bringing it back to horror, so on with the rapes!!

There was no scene of a dick being bitten off in I Spit on Your Grave. That was from Last House on the Left as I recall. Its Anchor Bay making this, not Paramount or Fox, so I don't anticipate a pussified version of the original. The original I Spit on Your Grave isn't exactly the most brutal film of all time. A lot of filmmakers have come along since and made far more viscous films. There's lot of room for improvement in the original, just like there was with Last House.

Well Rodney Eastman is in it, lets hope he gets more work!

The best thing about "I Spit on Your Grave" is the title. A genuine piece of shit and one of the few movies I've seen that I found truly offensive.

On with the rapes? That is disturbing.

"Not violent enough, according to new director Steven Monroe, who will be upping the length and brutality of the tortures and kills, as they were quite short in the original." translation: more CG Gore, music video jump cuts, stylish slo-mo, and Mudvayne. GRITTY REALISM LOL.
