"I Spit on Your Grave 2" tries to replicate the raw intensity of the original but falls short in almost every way. The first act is rushed and unconvincing, with little character buildup to ground the story or create emotional investment. The film leans heavily on gruesomeness, but without a strong narrative, compelling characters, or meaningful tension, it feels hollow and excessive. While the new out-of-country location had potential to be interesting, the film barely showcased the beauty or uniqueness of the setting. Jemma Dallender delivers a somewhat believable performance and looks great on screen, but even she can't salvage a movie that lacks the believability and nuance that made the first film impactful.
