However, Jennifer survives. Having been transformed from a bright-eyed artist into a vengeful specter, she returns, methodically hunting down each of her attackers. The second half of the film is a relentless and gory revenge fantasy where Jennifer dispatches her tormentors one by one in ways that are as creative and gruesome as the original, redefining the parameters of the modern rape-revenge film.
However, the 2010 film is arguably a better made movie . The pacing is tighter. The acting (aside from the intentional hamming of Andrew Howard) is vastly superior. The sound design is terrifying. And crucially, Monroe avoids the original’s most controversial beat: the consensual sex scene between Jennifer and the gas station attendant before the revenge. By removing that moral murkiness, the 2010 version becomes a more straightforward, if still problematic, morality tale. i spit on your grave 2010
