I Spit On Your Grave 3 - 2015

For newcomers, the continuity of the I Spit on Your Grave timeline is confusing. The 2010 remake starred Sarah Butler as Jennifer Hills, a writer who was brutally assaulted by a gang of country thugs. After surviving a near-fatal fall into a river, she systematically tortured and killed each attacker.

I Spit on Your Grave 3 (2015) ignores the 2013 sequel (I Spit on Your Grave 2, which starred Jemma Dallender as a different character in a different city) and instead serves as a direct continuation of the 2010 film.

Director R.D. Braunstein, known for low-budget genre fare like Cybercase and Apex Predators, faced a tight budget—estimated between $500,000 and $800,000. The limitations show in the production design: Angela’s warehouse is suspiciously clean, and Los Angeles is represented through only a handful of locations.

However, Braunstein excels at tension. The opening sequence, where Angela tracks a bar patron home, unfolds almost silently, relying on Butler’s expressive eyes. The gore effects, handled by veteran artist Christopher Bergschneider, are practical and stomach-churning. One scene involving a power drill and a dental chair rivals anything from the Saw franchise.

The film’s score, a mix of low-end industrial drones and mournful piano, effectively underlines Angela’s fractured psyche.

Upon its release in October 2015, I Spit on Your Grave 3 polarized critics even more than its predecessors.

What is undeniable is that I Spit on Your Grave 3 (2015) is not an easy watch. It is claustrophobic, bleak, and deliberately hopeless.
