With damn near every decent horror title either remade or slated for remake, I guess it should come as no shock that Meir Zarchi’s 1978 cult-classic I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE is getting the once over routine.
According to the folks over at horrormovies.ca, CinTel Films have indeed acquired the rights to the polemic rape and revenge tale, and in lieu of harsh exploits in R-rated horror these days, producers aim to keep the subject matter in the new film just as appalling as its predecessor.
For those in the know not, I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (also known as DAY OF THE WOMAN) is about a young female writer who secludes herself on a lovely lake vacation to find a little inspiration. What she finds however, is something a whole hell of a lot more sinister. A gang of rape-happy, ragtag redneck inbreeds, to be precise. Once molested and left for dead (many times over), the young lady turns the tides and serves her fair share of bloody comeuppance.
No info as to when the film will commence production, or what kind of talent will be associated with it. My guess is Megan Fox is an odds on favorite for any leading young lady role these days. Who do you see in the role?
