I feel like the scariest thing about this movie is that even now, men still try to justify their terrible, awful actions with the same sort of 'she was asking for it' bullshit that all of the men in this film try to pull.
Surprised that people find this one to be sleazy/exploitative, because even though there's a lot of nudity - mainly during the 30 (!) minutes of rape scenes - it's never in a way I could ever think of as being eroticized. It's not a fun movie by any means, but I think it's one that, along with Ms. 45, Thriller, and the Female Prisoner Scorpion films, is still important and that still resonates as clearly today as it did when it was made, as depressing and sad as that is.

*SPOILERS, I GUESS... EVEN THOUGH PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS MOVIE*
The first half of this film is not very good. It's almost as if they make the sexual assault sequence just long enough to stretch the film over ninety minutes, and in order to stretch the film over ninety minutes, they had to make the sequence incredibly drawn out and gratuitous. It might be realistic - I'm sure there have been terrible cases where women have actually had to endure that sort of torture for such a prolonged period of time... but from a purely filmic standpoint, it doesn't work in my opinion. Why? Because it exhausts and repulses the…
In a good revenge film, we are forced into the perspective of the victim. We empathize with them because we experience their pain firsthand. The way this film is shot, we are forced into the perspective of the attackers. The camera (like the poster) lingers on the victim's body. She is mostly shot from behind or from a low angle. The camera, like her attackers, treats her as an object of desire.
Now, there are great movies that put us in the mind of a rapist (Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer), but I expect a film called Day of the Woman to tell the victim's story and to do that effectively, she needs to be the point-of-view character.
When…

"Suck it, bitch!"
Viewed on effedupmovies.com with my phone at the back of the bus on my way to work, which is probably more than this film deserves. Maybe playing it on a Nintendo DS on the rough carpeted floor of a crack den would have been more appropriate.
It probably doesn't deserve 2 and a half stars either, but I have to admire how effective it still is after almost four decades. Its cold, clinical approach to the vile subject matter of the first half is chilling to say the least. There's no music, there are a lot of wide open shots which make you feel really helpless and paranoid. A lot…

"I Spit on Your Grave" is a shocking and frustrating experience.
The first half does everything right. It portrays its villains as ordinary people (which makes it all the more scary) and shocks the audience with a brutal sequence of rapes and physical assaults that seem to have no end, all done in the most realistic and natural way possible.
The scenes with Jennifer Hills (Camille Keaton in the performance of her life) walking in shock through the forest, covered with mud and blood, completely naked, is a haunting sight to never forget.
One of the most shocking aspects is the naturalness with which these…
Not sure why this gets such low ratings, I thought it was pretty good. Somebody wrote: "Most of the film is completely boring and lacking any emotion or entertainment -- like the rape scene." Oh I forgot, rape is supposed to be fun and entertaining, silly me! Views like that are exactly the reason why violence should be shown like this -- lacking emotion and thrill.
I thought it was visually particularly beautiful, other than that pretty ugly, as it should be. A lot of religious imagery, too -- the garden of Eden, a red apple, the crucifixaction of Christ, images of angels and depictions of hell, the devil himself in the eyes and groans of the men during the…
Great vengeance and furious anger, leveled against any and all men. Rightfully reviled, but mostly because it’s so fucking gifted at placing you in a victim’s shoes, making you feel every thrust and blow, before reveling in the quiet resilience that brutality generates inside a near silent avenger. One of the finest exploitation films in history.
Good evening and welcome fellow Children of Chaos.
I agree with Ebert about how disgusting this movie is. But not for the reason he articulates. But lets look at this movie and figure it out.
But let's break this movie down.
The Good:
I actually like the portrayal of Jennifer's recovery. Something I spit 2 from 2013 does better. But here the groundwork is lain.
I like the showing of the head rapist who's name I don't give a shit about's family. And Jennifer does not care. This is just revenge.
Also the scene where she locks said rapist in the bathroom (with a reverse lock that does not exist) and he screams the beelding wont stop would be harrowing…
