I Spit on Your Grave

Pros: Camille Keaton deserves more credit than she was ever given for this film!

Cons: NOT for todays overly sensitive pc pansies!

The Bottom Line: It can be hard to watch but it makes you think, which is what a good film should always do!

Review: This is probably one of the most infamous exploitation films of all time but I wouldn't agree with that assessment. Most of the exploitation genre is either just badly done, violence for the sake of violence or just flat out stupid. I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE ...

Pros: a classic

Cons: none in my book

Review: I Spit on Your Grave isn't a movie for the light hearted and weak stomachs.
This is one of the harshest "rape/revenge" movies within the business today.
The scenes are highly graphic and if you cannot abhor listening to the screams of...

Pros: Great story until the end

Cons: No ending

Review: I finally got to see a movie that has been harelded as one of the greatest cult hits of all time; The Rocky Horror Picture Show! I'm just kidding. I finally got to see I Spit on Your Grave. I bought the widescreen collector's edition a while back and...

Pros: Despite the exploitation film label, this movie is both fairly well made and explores some interesting ideas

Cons: Poor acting and the fact that the film features a roughly 40 minute rape scene will make this a film that most mainstream audiences won't enjoy

Review: I Spit on Your Grave: Elite Entertainment
Rating: USA: Unrated (uncut)/ R (edited)

By their very nature, exploitation films often get a bad reputation. Since films that fall into the canon tend to debase humanity in order to...

Pros: Camille Keaton, Eron Tabor, and whatever was going through Zarchi's head.

Cons: Castration death scene would have made a much better ending.

The Bottom Line: I like this movie, there's a lot more going on here than meets the eye, and the beauty is that everyone has their own views on it that differentiate!!

Review: "I Spit On Your Grave" is a movie where a woman is raped in the first half, then she takes revenge out on the rapists in the second half, and as a result of all of that, somehow makes writer and director Meir Zarchi some sort of legendary genius. The man ...

Pros: One of the most "hated" films ever. What more could you ask for?

Cons: Very sensitive subject matter. Not for everyone....thats for sure.

The Bottom Line: The definition of a true exploitation film. A true "icon" in film history.

Review: I Spit on your Grave (1978) has long been considered one of the most reviled films ever made. And rightly so. A film where a woman is gang raped repeatedly is never a film that is widely accepted and "liked" by many, if anyone at all. But exploit ...

Pros: Intense, original, uncompromising tale, features intelligent script, which benefits analysis.

Cons: Graphic disturbing, and salacious portrayal of rape is occasionally exploitative.

The Bottom Line: You are strongly forewarned of the graphic, sexually violent content of this film. However if you can stomach it, there is a highly interesting film here. A superior exploitation film.

Review: One of the most universally reviled films in cinema’s history is I Spit On Your Grave, released in 1978, this graphic and harrowing rape-revenge drama is is ranked up there with The Last House On The Left, as one of the most objectionable and sickening...

Pros: Just a classic... simple enough!

Cons: Graphic, no suspense, violent, not horror!

Review: I will start by saying that this movie is not scary at all. But I will say that the movie is very graphic in violence with a harsh display of rape and the whole revenge that follows. If you are a weak stomached person, do not watch this movie. If you...

Pros: Powerful and raw; a fine charismatic lead performance. You will cheer for the revenge.

Cons: Too violent for some, of course. Long rape sequence may be too disturbing.

The Bottom Line: Although a challenging view, I Spit on Your Grave portrays pain and revenge unlike anything ever seen.

Review: It seems now-a-days that most great films wrongfully bashed in the past, have finally surfaced and been discovered as brilliance. Yet one film in particular seems to have not yet been recognized for the brilliance it is. Whether it be because of it’s...

Pros: Uniquely brutal story; Keaton is brilliant in lead role; infuriated idiots for over three decades

Cons: Terrible A/V quality

The Bottom Line: If you enjoy horror and can endure gangrapes and gory revenge, this is certainly something to see
