I Spit on Your Grave III: Vengeance Is Mine

Jennifer Hills has never really left behind the horrors she endured years ago. She moves from place to place, changing identities in a bid to rebuild her life away from memory of that brutal night. In a quiet attempt to heal, she joins a support group and listens as others share their own scars. But when a friend's killer is set free and reports of serial rapists surface again, the past resurfaces with a vengeance. Jennifer refuses to stay silent this time and begins to target the men she believes escaped punishment. The lines between survivor and avenger blur as danger closes in and the consequences ripple outward. The tension rises as her choices blur the line between justice and revenge.

Directed by Richard Schenkman, this 2015 entry in the I Spit on Your Grave franchise continues the Jennifer Hills saga. It draws on the franchise concept rather than a novel, building on established characters and themes of trauma and vengeance.

The film grossed about 144,420 worldwide, reflecting a limited release and the direct-to-video path typical for some franchise entries. Its modest budget aligns with other chapter installments in the series and underscores a low risk production model for horror fans.

As a later entry in a long running franchise, this movie prompts debate about violence in horror and the portrayal of trauma survivors. Fans weigh its bold cruelty against its attempt to empower Jennifer Hills and push the character into moral territory. The visuals use gore to underline the stakes.

Reception and themes center on trauma and vengeance. Critics and audiences have mixed feelings about the film but generally acknowledge the continuing focus on Jennifer Hills as a survivor who refuses to be passive. The movie wrestles with justice and the cost of retribution for all involved and communities affected.
