I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE script

Jennifer Hills, a novelist, travels to a remote cabin for a writing retreat, but her peaceful solitude is shattered when she is brutally assaulted by a group of local men: Johnny, Andy, Stanley, and Matthew, with the complicity of Sheriff Storch. After being left for dead, Jennifer miraculously survives and begins to meticulously plan her revenge against each of her attackers. She systematically hunts down and tortures the men, using their own methods of cruelty against them. Jennifer ultimately orchestrates a final confrontation with Sheriff Storch, using Matthew as bait to trigger a shotgun trap, killing the corrupt lawman. With her vengeance complete, Jennifer walks away from the scene, leaving her tormentors to their gruesome fates.
