Back in the early 1970s, there was a new genre of film, called Blaxploitation. Remember it? The movie would be set in the ghetto and all the characters would be hit men, drug dealers, pimps or narcs. One may recall the films Foxy Brown and Blacula. And who could forget Blackenstein? Try as we might.
In the late 70s, there was a film called I spit on Your Grave, in the Rape and Revenge genre, trying to situate women’s rights the same way Blaxploitation did for African-American rights. I Spit on your Grave is apparently being remade, so I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised about Ticked Off Trannies with Knives.
Synopsis of I Spit on your Grave 2010:
The story of a woman who is brutally attacked, raped, and left for dead in the wilderness. She survives to hunt down her assailants and methodically, graphically takes her vengeance. Based on the 1978 film.
