Okay, so the other day I was in the mood for some serious revenge flicks. You know, the kind where the bad guys get what’s coming to them in a big way. I’d seen “I Spit on Your Grave” a while back, and it definitely scratched that itch, but I wanted more. So, I started digging around to find movies that were similar.
First, I googled something simple like “movies like I Spit on Your Grave.” This gave me a bunch of lists, but a lot of them were just filled with general horror movies. I wanted something with that specific revenge theme, you know?
Then I started to get a little smarter. I thought about what I really liked about “I Spit on Your Grave.” It wasn’t just the violence (though, let’s be honest, that’s part of it). It was the whole setup of someone being wronged and then turning the tables in a brutal way.
My Deep Dive into Forums
I figured the best way to get some personalized suggestions was to search formus to look into. I tried a few different keywords in my searches, mixing things up to see what would pop.
- So I jumped on some movie forums (I can’t recall all the names, just general movie discussion boards). I found some threads where people were asking the same question, and that gave me some good starting points.
- I also started looking at Reddit. There are tons of subreddits dedicated to movies, horror, and even specific subgenres. I searched within those subreddits, and that helped me narrow things down even more.
The Results
I found few names that kept popping up: “Ms .45,” “Revenge (2017),” “The Last House on the Left,” and “Straw Dogs.” I jotted those down and started doing some individual research on each one.
I watched some trailers, and the most importantly, I made sure to find reviews that described plots, not just ratings, I needed the details. I needed movies that was a little dark and disturbing. After going through reviews, the plot of the movie “Revenge” really got me.
So, that’s how I ended up spending my Saturday night! Found exactly what I was looking for. And for anyone, next time I’ll probably check out the rest of them, to get some extra similar recommendations.
