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

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 now 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.

While in group counseling, Jennifer/Angela begins developing a bond with one of the girls in the group, Marla. The duo began their own personal crusade, by exacting poetic justice for victims of sexual assault. However, just as Jennifer begins to enjoy life, Marla dies under mysterious circumstances and no one guilty of her death. She becomes acquainted with Detective McDylan, an investigator to Marla's death. However, he wasn't able to bring justice for Marla nor closure for Jennifer. Distraught and enraged at how the law couldn't help 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 all recent murders. By chance, Oscar (a support member who lost his daughter to suicide after a sexual assault) sacrificed himself by publicly admitting the murders to the police after slashing his own arms; he saved Jennifer at the cost of his life. Although Oscar's sacrifice helped Jennifer get out of jail, she was still being followed as a person of interest. 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. She realized that justice can only be exacted upon one's self.

Shortly after Oscar's death, Jennifer evaded the police and dressed herself in a suggestive red dress in attempt to bait a sexual predator, not realizing Detective McDylan was trailing her the whole time. While on her way home, she caught the attention of a local thug that has been propositioning her. Armed with a knife, she failed to lure him close enough to kill him and got into a struggle. McDylan arrived in attempt to neutralize the situation, but Jennifer refuses to yield and was forced to shoot and arrest her.

Sometime later, Jennifer would end up in prison, but the full details of her charges and sentencing weren't mentioned; it's unknown was she held responsible for all recent events or the crime McDylan witnessed. In the final scene, Jennifer continues to get psychotherapy, but she has become a highly violent and cynical person, unwilling to stop exacting her murderous rage upon those who have earned her wrath.
