Reviews
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
David T The film is about revenge, almost more brutal in some ways than the original crimes. It has a dark focus on bullying the weak, not just the woman but the friend Mathew who is obviously mentally deficient. There are no special effects, no big expensive orchestral scores, in fact no music to speak of. The dialogue is gritty and natural, the setting disturbinly bucolic, this conflicts with the nast mysogynistic focus. Jennifer's character is hard to understand, no call to the police, just revenge plotted over a few days, a quick prayer in the local church, then ...
D Rahul Raj Jsd 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!!!
Miss X 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!
The_Film_Cricket You know, I started thinking about this movie against my better judgment and I wondered how a movie like this ever got made. I wondered how the director Mier Zarchi (let's mention all the names, no one gets away from this mess) pushed this story.How do you convince a crew of people: "Okay, we're going to make a movie about a woman who gets raped and beaten five or six times, then cuts the men up one by one". How do you tell your lead actress Camille Keaton that the scene requires her to walk through the woods naked and then get sodomized by three men? What does anyone hope to gain from a project like this? I'm not a prude but I do have my limits on what I will tolerate on screen and this isn't it. This is a movie that supposedly gets revenge on rapists but all it does is show the depths of what some people are willing to put on screen. Think of the thousands of ideas and stories that can be told and ponder why on earth someone settled on this.I choose "I Spit On Your Grave" as the worst movie that I have ever seen and I guess the director would deem this as a compliment, but in my estimation he should be ashamed of himself.
