I Spit on Your Grave

Rating:
Summary: Great movie / watch it!
Review: This is one of the most shocking movies I've ever seen. probably as shocking as Cannibal Holocaust, although totally different genres and themes. The story is about a woman who is raped beyond anything in your worst nightmares, and how she gets revenge on the guys that do it. I can't say I have seen anything like this before. I doubt many people have. I'm not gonna spoil the movie for anyone by telling you the whole story, but watch this if you want to see something out of the ordinary.

Summary: Vengence Seeks Revenge
Review: Disturbing. Shocking. Repulsive. Powerful. Filmed nearly documentary style, with very little musical score, this film has a sense of urgency, of power, and of helplessness. Loosely based on a true storey (AKA: The Day of the Woman) this film was banned just about everywhere and is not for everyone. There are extremely graphic rape scenes in this film. They are so shocking that they seem real. After being brutalized, beaten, raped, and tortured (the entire first 48 minutes of the movie) she cleans herself up, and seeks revenge. What she went through, no jury would convict her. Believe me, her revenge is sweet, savage, shocking, graphic, and just desserts to her assailants. Wow! Some argue that this film exploited women. These people didn't wait until the end.

Summary: shocked by how good it was
Review: when i sat down to watch this i was expecting a lot of gore done badly and even worse acting. it came as a pleasent suprise how good it was it only lost a star for a bit of a rushed ending but besides that i did enjoy it as a proper thriller and i would recommend it to a friend i think it sits above other exploit movies for it was done properly with good actors and script

Summary: not a movie you watch in the presence of other people
Review: I remember first seeing " I Spit on Your Grave" twenty plus years ago when I was fifteen or sixteen years old. The video store should have never allowed me to rent it; this film deserves a stronger rating than R.

Certainly, over the years my memory had embellished the film; nonetheless, it still shocked me, today.

It is easy to forget that there are actors following a script. The film is evenly paced and unrelenting. Unlike " The Last House on the Left," there is no comic relief to remind the viewer that there is a director. One is forced to confront the brutality of rape and violence.

The actress is quite convincing and deserves recognition. The rape scenes are borderline snuff quality except for the fact the editing and directing have moments of brilliance. The men are sickening and easily hated; they are just vicious animals without any redeeming qualities, yet they are believable. Let us not forget, there are men who commit these attrocities. One can appreciate why she seeks revenge.

Without question, the rape scenes are some of the most disturbing moments in cinematic history. The castration scene is unparalleled. The special effects are just that, effective.

The DVD is an excellent package. " I Spit on Your Grave" isn't presented as a low budget film. It is art; it's not a slasher flick; it's not meant for entertainment.

Buyer beware...
