Katie
is trying to make it in the cutthroat world of modeling. When she innocently
accepts an offer to have new photos taken for her portfolio, the experience
quickly turns into an unthinkable nightmare of rape, torture, and kidnapping.
When a twist of fate finally frees her from her captors - beaten, battered,
bruised, and broken, she will have to tap into the darkest places of the human
psyche to not only survive her ordeal, but to ultimately find the strength to
exact her brutal revenge.

While the summary tells a new story,
the same theme exists in “I Spit on Your Grave 2.” An innocent woman, Katie
(Jemma Dallender) is taken advantage of, raped, and brutalized. Like its predecessors,
watching the rape scene is tough. It's almost hard to believe a movie is based
on such a terrible act, but it brings out the definition of horror.
There is also plenty of horror when
Katie luckily survives her terrible ordeal, and comes back to for revenge. She
gets payback on each person involved in victimizing her. For women watching the
rape, it must be especially tough. For guys watching, there is a scene where
one of her captors gets tortured in a way no guy wants to see either. Besides
that, there is only one other have decent torture, and death.
The real problem for this movie is that
while it's a sequel, it has nothing to do with the previous movie. It leaves
the audience watching much of the same. There are no twist and turns. Probably
the biggest difference between this movie and the others is that her captors
aren't American. Not only that, but without explanation they magically take her
out of the country.
What audiences get in "I Spit on
Your Grave 2" is a different story, but the same theme as the previous
movies. There isn't much new except for an unexpected change of scenery. The
rape and torture is still tough to watch. Katie's revenge is all right, but not
better than any of the movies. Since nothing new is accomplished, I give this
movie 2 pools of blood.
