Quotes
"I completely understand feelings about remakes; at times I feel the same way and at times a movie warrants a remake and it actually turns out great! Horror fans are passionate and they have a right to feel the way they do. I can tell you we made this with a lot creative integrity. We were very serious about our work and honoring the original. We didn’t tread lightly when making this movie." — Chad Lindberg, interview with FrightFesthttp://www.dogatemywookie.co.uk/2010/08/22/frightfest-interview-chad-lindberg-i-spit-on-your-grave-2010supernatural/
