Summary: A film which requires thought
Review: I Spit on Your Grave is a movie 90% of people hate ... simply because they don't understand it. Without retelling the plot, the rape scene is what most people complain about, and there is a part of you that has to say "It's only an act" to endure it, as any of us males with wives, mothers, sisters, or female friends would want to protect them from such a horrible fate.There are 3 & 1/2 rape scenes in a row. Why? simply the director is making you think the worst is over, and then wham! it's only just begun. This is to play with your emotions and to also illustrate that sometimes in life we think we go through something bad and then it's over, but in reality life is not ready to say "The End" so quickly concerning some things. Also another sore point with people is the retribution she seeks, very simply survivors of Rape need councilling to ever recover, and out by herself without support and in a fearful confused mindstate revenge seems like the only therapy that will comfort her ... and it is well deserved. If you can watch this movie with an open mind, and not touch the fast forward button then you will enjoy it. However one must have a strong stomach and be an avid viewer of horror movies in my opinion to like this film. The most disturbing movie ever made? i don't think so, but to a rape victim watching it, it may very well be. I suggest this movie should only be watched alone ... as it tests what type of person you are and how your emotions operate ... and socializing can often distort and interfear with such serious soul searching. The DVD picture is great, but it's a shame no commentary by Camille Keation or the director was available, it really deserves it. This is why I give this disc 3 stars and not 5, because for the price we really deserve a commentary. Hire it first, watch it alone.

Summary: Possibly the Worst Movie I've Seen
Review: Can a movie get any worst than this? My finger was on the fast forward button throughout most of this movie. Way, way, way too many rape scenes and the only good part was when the movie ended. The acting was way below medicore as was the directing, acting and camera work. A five year old with a home video camera could make something better than this.

Summary: To overacted
Review: While a good movie, this flick was WAY to overacted. The not-so-original plot is a young woman from New York moves to a secluded summer home to write her first novel. A half-retarded grocery store delivery boy named Matthew gets a crush on her and tells his redneck friends about her. They decide that she will be the woman that the Matthew loses his virginity to, so they rape her, beat her, and leave her for dead. She recovers and begins murdering her assailants in horrible ways. Blood and gore galore, I'd consider this movie, or the unrated version at least, a soft porn with gore. More of an exploitation film, violence and nudity are the main stars. This movie is definitely not for people with weak stomachs.

Summary: Baaaaaaaaaaaad.
Review: This is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. The acting is so over the top, it's like a William Shatner Acting school troupe. The story ridiculous. The lighting bad, the sound bad, the rape scene entirely too long. This movie caters to the lowest common denominator. The only good thing about this movie is that it eventually ends. Dull, banal, sate, misogyny!

Summary: over the top
Review: this movie wasn't horrible but I guess I expected too much..the acting is pretty good and the production is good but the rape scene was crude and went on for too long and seemed misogynstic...after the rape, the events seem kind of hard to believe {Keaton seducing the rapists}..I can't really suggest this one to anybody

Summary: NOT the "worst movie of all time"
Review: Upon its initial release, "I Spit on Your Grave" was made out to be an utterly worthless, pro-rape film by overly PC critics who feared their reputation would be tarnished if they admitted fanfare for this disturbing and competently made movie. But that's not to say it's not without its problems. Writer-director Meir Zarchi, obviously under the influence of Wes Craven's gritty "Last House on the Left," constructed a very simple plot where a beautiful woman is isolated only to be beaten and raped by a gang of local hoods. After they leave her for dead, she recuperates and takes sadistic revenge against her attackers. The rape scenes are too choreographed to be considered realistic, and this is complemented by camera angles that render the incidents voyeuristic. The heroine has no discernible personality aside from her looks, and is a model of perfection that is violated unfairly. The way the rapists are seduced and buy the fact that this woman could be attracted to them after the fact is just preposterous. And the movie ends on a note of absolute nihilism. But I think Zarchi wanted to make an example of men, and how they allow their privates to do their thinking for them. So the way the rapists' libidoes lead them to their doom is a bit symbolic. The act of revenge that takes place in the third act is mean-spirited, unpleasant, but honest. After all, revenge is a hollow act that isn't intended to bring about a feeling of pleasure. "I Spit on Your Grave" is a decent film. I give it an extra star because of the recent Anchor Bay remaster that has an excellent picture and sound.

Summary: Better than you'd expect
Review: I was surprised to discover upon receiving this video that it was actually a lot better than I expected. This movie has been unfairly criticized for it's graphic portayal of rape; which I admit, was difficult to watch. The acting from Keaton was good & Zarchi's direction was constantly suspenseful & sweat-inducing. You KNOW what will happen; but when it does you're surprised. It has its faults; like Richard Pace & Co's acting; but despite its ugliness this is a film full of compassion for Keaton's plight. Not crap, not brilliant but on the whole a fairly commendable effort. Worth it for the infamous bathtub scene alone.

Summary: This movie was entertaining yet disturbing.
Review: When I looked at all the reviews, I was sure that the movie was going to be ultraviolent. I was right, and yet it was disturbing in another way. It was good and well crafted. It contained violence and gore, sexuality, and heart pounding suspense. The movie is about a woman who moves to a house. She sits in the sun everyday. Little does she know that someone is watching her, and something horrible is about to happen. Soon, she is raped by four men. Left for dead, she seeks vengeance against the perpetrators of the crime. The police can't help her, so she takes matters into her own hands. The four men realize that they are dropping like flies. They decide to fight back before they are all dead. Camille Keaton gives a stunning performance as a vengeful woman who is a vicitm of a rape crime. In the uncut version, the rape scene is exteneded and more disturbing. The movie contains extreme gore and gratituous nudity. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to see Camille Keaton getting raped and taking bloody revenge.

Summary: Why did I see this piece of trash?*
Review: "I Spit on Your Grave" may well be the kind of film that might be given a four star rating by people with sick minds.Last I checked,I'm the complete opposite.Sure,I love horror films.Horror films with good taste.After viewing this movie,there are no doubts in my mind that I should have had my head checked.I should have been locked up in a loony ward for buying this ... A young woman is raped a few times by a group of men who later get their just desserts.Everything in this film is really bad.The acting.The castration scene is one example of bad acting.My question is why did this girl just leave when they were harrasing her?This is not a horror movie.This is not a movie at all.I know a great horror film when I see one.I Spit on Your Grave may have been the kind of film I would have rush to rented on video fifteen years ago.Guess I smartened up.
