This week in the Deep Hurting Project: I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu. I've seen the original, and it's honestly, one of the greatest horror movies I've ever watch. Even if the portrayal of Matthew was questionable and I'm not sure the rape scene necessarily needed to be 20 minutes long, at least it led to a cathartic finale. And 40 years later, the original cast and crew went back and made a shitty sequel.
- Well, at least they gave you a recap of the first half of the first movie in the first minute. And a recap of the second half via a radio interview.
- Don't you just love it when a mother and daughter look fuck-all like one another?
- Is it just me or does Jennifer Hills seem to be surprisingly okay with her daughter being treated like an object for someone who built her entire career from an act of revenge against that exact thing?
- Jesus died on the cross by having his dick cut off?
- Well, technically she's a spree killer, not a mass murderer.
- Wait a minute, she had a jury from New York City to try her for murder? The murder took place in Kent, Connecticut. And come to think of it, why the fuck did they sound like Southern hicks if they were from Connecticut?
- It's useless to ask why, Herman. You'd think it'd still be in the book.
- So, their plan for revenge is making her dig her own grave, then mutilating her, and then lynching her? Also, you know she's able to kill four people. Maybe you shouldn't give her a shovel she can use to retaliate against you. And why doesn't she just shoot them? One of them might be as tough as they're building up, but all of them?
- You're playing Tom and Jerry games with her? You do know that Tom's never the one who comes out on top, right?
- All that buildup for a fucking Wizard of Oz reference?
- Why the fuck is someone this senile still driving a truck?
- What do you know, 47 minutes in and 40 minutes later and we finally get a justification for the title.
- And Jennifer Hills got decapitated with very little fanfare.
- And do we really have to spend all that time on Johnny's wife screaming in victory after killing Jennifer? Seriously? Is this why it's 46 minutes longer than the original?
- And come to think of it? Why are these relatives of the original rapists so young? It's been 40 years, was he dating a middle-schooler? Did Matthew's dad undergo precocious puberty and knocked up some girl when he was a kid?
- And why the fuck are they re-enacting the rape from the original on her daughter, complete with Matthew's dad acting like an idiot and with one of the other rapists claiming he did it all for him?
- And Jesus... they're acting like she's a product of the rape from the original. There's no way she's old enough for that.
- Fuck, these hicks have an incel's ability to avoid responsibility for their own failures.
- And how the fuck is her rape blasphemous?
- So, is Christy going to find a phone to call the cops over what happened to her? Nope. She's just going to eat the guy's food, drink his milk directly from the jug, and sit in his rocking chair until the owner comes home. Fortunately, it's Matthew's Dad and she just sits there so he can get his rifle.
- That sickle just looks like a weird stabbing weapon.
- You can hear another family member moaning from a certain distance, but not a gunshot from that exact same distance?
- You know, it's good that these people are dying left and right. And it's not even because of their plan to kill Jennifer and rape her daughter. They're just that insufferable and annoying.
- This movie is like a thick diaper: it's extremely padded and filled with shit.
- Fuck, they're really going with the "Christy was a child of the rape from the first movie" thing, aren't they? She's 30 at the oldest, and yet it's actually 40 years later.
- Are they going to kill Christy or just let her keep monologuing?
Just to be clear, this is only aimed at the hicks and not Christy. - Why are they repeating the last few words of every sentence of that sermon? And how is he so engrossed in it that he can't even hear someone being loudly killed just a few feet behind him?
- Wow. What obvious symbolism, having Christy take the cross from the church and carry it for a few feet and then just walking off on her own.
- There's four minutes left. Why are they devoting this much time to these kids looking for Grandma?
