I was interested in seeing this movie if only because Roger Ebert said it was the worst movie ever made. I was interested in seeing what other people thought of what would be considered the worst ever made. I wonder what Mike Nelson thinks of this? Anyway, this movie is of course horrible and it's not just because it's a disgusting violent film. The acting is terrible. There's this one really obnoxious guy who sounds like Woody Allen. Even the way the story is told is terrible. All the action stops at literally the last three minutes of the film making it horribly paced. It can be very unsettling watching these graphic rape scenes. The characters are just plain stupid. Near the end, the rapists have no problem meeting up with the girl again. Aren't they afraid of what she'll do seeing as how they raped her? There was no male genitalia shown although we did get to see the woman's crotch a lot. Even the box cover says that the woman gets revenge on five men even though there's only four men. Are the creators of this movie so stupid they can't even count? It's a horribly ugly mess with nothing but an excuse to show horrifying images. There's no character development or purpose in the entire film at all. It shows up on a lot of worst ever lists even though the overall score both here and RottenTomatoes isn't that bad! *

It's Ms Camille Keaton's Birthday (20 July)!!! I honored her by watching a movie she's known for, the original rape and revenge exploitation flick, I Spit on Your Grave. It's a movie that is still very realistic, even in this day and age, with hard to watch violent scenes, realistic acting, and even special effects. Camille truly gave a strong, powerful performance, and I have so much respect for her, being brave to do a movie like this, which is not an easy job to do. A movie subgenre that has moral values and it's for all you men out there. The message is to never, ever disrespect, force, or have an intention to do anything negative towards a woman, don't ever underestimate the power of women either as you'll never know what's going to happen next. You might just wake up in hell with your nuts sliced off.I'm really excited to hear there's a direct sequel to this original chapter titled I Spit On Your Grave - Deja Vu coming soon, with original Jennifer Hills herself, Camille Keaton, reprising her role. I know it's gonna be another classic with her in it, because she's a Queen and a Legend for a reason. Gotta Love Women Power!!!

Utterly horrific. Nothing less than grotesque. The fact that there have been remakes is more disgusting. Glorifies the abuse of women. Serves no purpose other than clearly influencing a series of the American drama Dexter in recent years. Abhorrent. I question how anyone can attempt to argue this is anything more than an attempt to glorify the abuse of women, even with the ridiculous ultimate tag line of revenge. The fact that this film still appears on TV now makes me more concerned. It turns my stomach to think that this is described by some as outstanding. Nutshell. Sad perverts who fantasise or even have abused women will love this. The rest of us will feel sick to the stomach that for some unknown reason this monstrosity still seems to keep being remade. But then again, we live in a world where people think Hostel is a great movie!

Repugnant exploitative misogynist trash that has long been a favorite among weirdos and creepers. The "story" is about a young woman from New York (Camille Keaton, granddaughter of Buster Keaton) who goes to the country to write. She's then savagely and repeatedly raped by four men, one of them mentally retarded (charming). Afterwards she gets her revenge. There comes a point where you subject a character to so much brutality and degradation that no amount of revenge will make the experience enjoyable. This movie passed that point with the first protracted rape scene. Yes, first, as the woman is raped three times over the span of forty minutes! It's a disgusting soulless movie with ZERO redeeming qualities. This didn't need to be made and, if you found it entertaining, please seek help. A strong contender for the worst movie ever made, on moral grounds if nothing else.
