I Spit on Your Grave (2010)

  Christy wanted to watch this, since she heard it wasn't really a "horror" movie, per se.  I would add that it's not exactly a "good" movie, per se, either.

Young, pretty author Jennifer Hills (Sarah Butler) has rented a cabin in the middle of nowhere in order to work on her next novel.  Before she can even get to the cabin, she runs into local lothario Johnny (Jeff Branson) and his buddies/henchmen Andy (Rodney Eastman) and Stanley (Daniel Franzese).  Jennifer blows off the encounter, but Johnny doesn't take rejection well.  Especially when Jennifer shows favor towards simple handyman Matthew (Chad Lindberg).  The four men break into the cabin and proceed to harass Jennifer in various violent ways.  She escapes and runs to find the Sheriff (Andrew Howard), thinking that will end the nightmare.  But, apparently, no one in this town has seen a woman not related to them in so long they just can't help themselves.

Frankly, I was disappointed.  Jennifer stays a victim for far too much of the running time, leaving her eventual bloody revenge to feel a little rushed, not to mention poorly thought out.  There's not a single indication that the character gave any thought to what would happen after her vengeance was enacted.  That's the first rule, man.  There were a lot of loose ends flapping around.  I will give her points for creativity, she is a writer, but you have to cover your tracks. 

The original 1978 version is available for streaming on Netflix, but this one is not.  We did find it On Demand for a rental fee and that worked out pretty well.
