I Spit on Your Grave III: Vengeance is Mine or simply I Spit on Your Grave 3 is a 2015 American rape and revenge horror film, directed by R.D. Braunstein from a screenplay by Daniel Gilboy. It is the third installment in the series. Sarah Butler reprises her role as Jennifer Hills from the 2010 film I Spit on Your Grave,[2] but in this film the character has changed her name to Angela.
Plot
{{Confusing}
The film follows the life of Jennifer Hills (Butler), continuing the story from the first film I Spit on Your Grave. After Jennifer survived her assault and exacted revenge on the men that hurt her, she settled in Los Angeles, but was completely scarred from the whole ordeal. She's no longer an aspiring writer and now devotes herself between working as an assault hotline operator, going to group counselling, and getting personal therapy for her ordeal under the assumed name, Angela. Because of her mental/emotional scars, she has become highly aggressive and defensive around her environment; she doesn't trust men and presume all men simply want to have her, including the good ones.
Jennifer/Angela begins developing a bond with one of the girls in the group, Marla, and the two begin their own personal crusade, by exacting justice for the victims they know. However, just as Jennifer begins to enjoy life, Marla dies. Distraught and enraged at how the law couldn't exact justice for Marla nor the rape victims in her support group, she decides to get revenge for them.
One-by-one, Jennifer stalks and lures the unpunished rapists to a private place to torture and kill them. However, her actions began to draw attention from the cops as they suspect she's behind recent murders. Despite the police keeping an eye on her, she manages to evade detection, but becomes further disillusioned with society and enraged that there's no justice for wrongdoers. Jennifer is ultimately stopped after she loses her sanity to hurt another man and the police stop her in the act. [clarification needed]
In the final scene, despite being sent to prison and continuing her psychotherapy, Jennifer has become a highly violent and cynical person, unwilling to stop exacting her murderous rage upon those who have earned her wrath.
