Moviehole recently caught up with director Steven Monroe, who is remaking Meir Zarchi’s ‘I Spit on Your Grave‘.

Here is what the director had to say, of the project…

We wanted to stay as true to the original as possible while making sure it was updated in a few ways. There is one additional lead character, a Sheriff played by Andrew Howard, and of course we upped the brutality and length of the tortures and kills - as they were quite short in the original - which was really a disturbing thriller at heart not a horror film. I also wanted to update the look of the film and give it a very voyeuristic quality and gritty realism.
