Critics Consensus: Well-shot exploitation that has less purpose and utility than in 1978.

It's better made, more plausible than the original, the sexual violations less drawn out, the vengeance more violent and elaborate.
Audiences who like the spectacle of men being tortured and women being raped may well be the same audiences. For them, this film offers a two-for-one deal.
By honing the jagged edges of Meir Zarchi's cheap and nasty rape-revenge shocker into slick entertainment, this unwelcome remake improves technically on the 1978 original, while retaining all that was sleazy and repellent...
Neither boring enough to qualify as pornography nor vital enough to generate a controversy.
An attempt to trade on its predecessor's reputation without really grappling with the questions it raises, Monroe's version merely seems shallow, cynical and extremely ugly.
Female-empowerment fantasy or just plain prurience, Grave is extremely efficient grindhouse.
I advise you avoid the film like the plague.
Although it would be interesting to see a stunt like this get pulled off in real life, I Spit on Your Grave needs major plot fixes and a redo.
It's intentionally, efficiently ugly, through and through.
This remake exists in that movie's shadow and, instead of attempting to outshock the original, ups the elaborate revenge aspect and gives you something to shamelessly cheer for.
Nada mais é do que uma narrativa repleta de misoginia, preconceito e estupidez.
It's not that they don't deserve punishment, but the scale here is so out-of-whack with what we're shown, with one battered, tiny girl devising and executing tortures that would have required several construction crews and a team of black ops agents.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, but this flawed movie spends way too much time showing the protagonist's horrendous suffering and humiliation in an overlong (and graphic) setup before finally moving on to the entertaining part where we get to see her actions against her aggressors.
Super Reviewer
The reboot. The remake. Second verse, same as the first. First, introduction of the players. Second, brutal rape (wherein little is spared visually, an act that makes us willing participants, d-d-duh). Third, even more brutal revenge (the same). "Where's the entertainment value here," that is the question. Introduction To Torture Porn 101.
A truly brutal and graphic movie, that will have you watching from behind the sofa!
