ISOYG Remake


This remake is more like it. More of a backstory, the rednecks/gas station workers are given more reason behind raping the bitch. There's music to help put you on edge throughout, the first has nothing like that to build up suspense. There's more tension to this one and that's also a plus, more scenes to make you jump that work. I had this turned up way too loud following the low audio on the original I'd watched just beforehand. There's a real menace to their performance.

The scene making her suck the gun is pretty dark, but I hated the clichéd falling over as she run away... Bitch ran straight into a psycho Sheriff, this version def reminded me more of Deliverance with the whole making her squeal shit. There's only so many retarded sex faces I can watch in one day haha!

The second rape where they sodomise her feels too short in comparison to the originals... but the after scene where she's walking and trembling and lost really adds to it and the whole feeling of how horrific the ordeal would be. I think the decision to have her drop in the water was a plus point on the originals plot, as you're not going to trust the most retarded person in the group to ensure the victim is dead, are you? The first had too many unbelievable plot holes that stood out like sore thumbs. I was glad to see they went against that in the remake.

Matthew the moron gets disposed of in a similar way to the first film, only not as over the top, which is a good thing - but this version maintains the sadistic side to the woman which I was pleased about. The revenge part is ultimately what makes the movie and gives it it's payoff. The rest is all a setup leading to those points, essentially.

Rapists 2 and 3 get disposed of a little too easy for my liking with the wooden bat, and the bathtub torture thing seemed too elaborate a setup for the woman to construct in the middle of nowhere. The eye hooks to the face as well just seemed too elaborate to me. It was unrealistic, maybe not as much so as the first movie so it's an improvement on that I guess but it still felt a little out of place to me - yeah I love revenge shit, but it all felt a little Saw-esque what she was doing. I don't even mind over the top shit, I just felt the Lye and Crows ish was too convenient to have all the necessary crap lying around to set those up. The crow with the eyeball is a sick scene though!

The tooth removal shit is nasty too but again, a bit too elaborate to have the guy suspended with ropes and pulleys from the ceiling and blah blah blah... The castration scene to the remake is way better than the original though, and a nice nod to the original so I really enjoyed that aspect. The bitch feeds the guy his own cock haha!

I completely forgot about the Sheriff in this one, he's still alive at the end, and his death is pretty fucking spectacular. Again, it's another Saw/Hostel torture porn like setup. this time with a shotgun stuck up his ass that the woman rapes him anally with before the rig she's set up kills him by blowing out his ass and the same bullet hiring the retarded Matthew on the other side of the room LOL

The movie ends there with the woman smirking, not too far dissimilar to the original, but the select few changes it made WERE for the better - though I still think they could have done these even better to IMO. The remake is a pretty solid movie in it's own right, def worth the watch fellas. It maybe doesn't rate too highly on my "most disturbing" list, but I'm not really into the torture porn genre and this second one tends to fall into that if I'm honest. Way more so than the first. There's elements in both versions I prefer over their namesakes, oddly enough the "Matthew" character in the first I enjoyed more, where the remakes was the more authentic acting. The methods of revenge in the first seemed way over the top in places, the retards death in the first being completely nonsensical - so the second wins out in instances like that but both versions revenge seemed OTT if I'm honest... that's what people paid for though, I guess? Overall, I'd go with the remake in truth. Personally though I'd like to see the whole thing remade again, with the revenge sequences made more believable and less torture chamber looking.
