Summary: Holy Bejesus!
Review: I saw this movie when I was 11 and I can officially say I am now scarred for life. Not necessarily a bad movie, just don't let your kids see it. Some of it is really stupid: basically a girl gets raped by some scumbags... and then kills them. It was pretty cheaply made but the idea is clear.

Summary: I Would Like to Give This NO STARS!
Review: Abyssmal garbage that looks as if it were made on bad 16mm on one heckuva shoestring budget.Everything fails, bad acting, poor filmmaking,this one bites! Terror at Lake Tenkiller was better!

Summary: Horrific Revenge Film...
Review: ....gritty, bloody, and it-pushes-too-far. It looks as if someone had taken a beta video camera or old, old style Super 8 and filmed real-life horrifying violence just for kicks. Heck, the acting is marginal. This ain't for kids, nor for the squeamish. Notice: there's no film out there like this, and I give it points for being so far off the scale...

Summary: Yes, it really is horrible
Review: "I Spit on Your Grave" is a film that has been the subject of far too many people's attention, and mostly for the wrong reasons. They either loathe it, or rabidly defend its "artistry". Well, it certainly has little to recommend it, unless you enjoy watching a naked woman being raped, degarded and humiliated for almost a whole hour. Still interested? The films standpoint as a "revenge" film gets a little lost after devoting this much time to the rape spectacle, and with convincing acting by Camille Keaton, it is a harrowing experience for the viewer. But the revenge? A brief bit of knife waving over a bubble bath, and all the male movie reviewers are screaming and clutching themselves. Get real! The male victims in this sleaze-orama are not even good enough actors for you to care about their fates. At least the outdoor scenery looks lush and beautiful, but all other aspects of the film are ugly and depressing. Worth watching for curiosity value, but it's unlikely to merit a second viewing.

Summary: Disturbing...NOT Great
Review: The early to late seventies took horror movies to new disgusting highs, one having to outdisgust the last. Don't confuse the "I Spit On Your Grave's" or "Last House on the Lefts" with George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" (his "Night of the Living Dead" sequel) or even, say, "The Exorcist". They told great stories, where the majority of the genre in that era tried to outgross each other, and in that this movie ranks (pun intended) very high. Only a psychotic would find any of this move "awesome". A worthwhile watch maybe. Disturbing definitely. But there is not cinematic splendor on these reels. Merely a rape avenged by brutal murder. Movies like this ignited the chain reaction of slasher flicks that petered out in the early to mid 80s with the likes of "New Years Evil", "My Bloody Valentine" or even "Terror Train" before being resurrected with the Freddy Krueger's of the world. This one drew crowds based merely on its gore. This is not an awesome or great flick, even given the numbness today's society has to violence, relatively speaking. It is worth watching if only to try and experience the mind of the director and what was he thinking. A study in theatrical psychology. I wouldn't recommend watching it at home alone ladies.

Summary: VERY INTENSE MOVIE
Review: This movie is not for the faint of heart.I'm not going to tellyou what the story is about because a lot of other reviewers alreadyhave done that,but I must warn you that there are some really disgusting scenes in this movie.The bathtub scene will freak every guy out! Also there is a lot of full frontal nudity.The acting is a little weak but the intense plot makes up for that.This movie is not for everybody so watch at your own risk.

Summary: Garbage
Review: The only people I can see really trying to get this flick are poor souls in the UK who are curious as to why it was banned. I'll tell you why it should have been banned. Unfortunately in Britain they still censor and ban films, which is a joke, and people become obsessed with these "nasty" flick, most of them being just plain bad. Save your money, American or British, and pass over this poor excuse for a film.

Summary: A vicious assault on the senses - but then, shouldn't it be?
Review: In the UK, this film was on the very top of the 'video nasties' list of 1984, along with 'New York Ripper' and 'Cannibal Holocaust'. However, having finally watched it, I cannot see what all the fuss was about. True - it is a disturbing film which does feature pro-longed rape scenes and sadistic levels of revenge (very understandable too!), but comes across as exactly what it is - a 'rape/revenge shocker'.The film itself is alittle twisted, Meir Zarchi spending almost too long showing scenes of brutal rape (however, never in a pornographic fashion - this is realistic violence and well acted). The lack of music is also very clever, adding to the realism. The plot is thin, but the acting holds it up and overall, I would suggest that if you are curious, as I was, then watch it atleast once, before jumping on the bandwagon and condemning it before even seeing it (as many others have). This version is both uncut and fully re-mastered, another fantastic job by 'Anchor Bay' who seem to transfer most notorious classics extremely well to both VHS and DVD - forcing me to add another star to the review. Hate this film or like it - it is well made and does have a message; the way that the message is delivered is so full on, that most viewers could be upset by it, but then, isn't this the intention anyway - do you really want to watch a film about rape that is both comfortable and enjoyable?
