I know some have problems with the fact it’s a male director, but I don’t have a problem with that. Overall it’s an uncomfortable movie, but I would say, as a horror movie, a terrifying movie. As well as parts that if I were a man I wouldn’t like to watch. There are several scenes that are uncomfortable for me to watch as a woman. I Spit on Your Grave 1978 is the type of exploitation movie that is hard to say if you like it or not. In the end, they all get what they deserve. She wants to start with Johnny, but she sees him with his wife and kids and she moves on to someone else. She comes up with a plan to get revenge on each of the guys. Jennifer tries to go back to a normal life but can’t. Finally realizing that Matthew hadn’t killed her. They all go back to their normal lives for a couple of weeks, and when nobody hears about a body they go and investigate. Matthew, unable to kill her, puts her blood on the knife and tells the guys he did it.
They finally finish and start to leave when they send Matthew back in to kill her. They proceed to torture her and rape her more. She’s calling the police when they arrive at her cabin and stop her. Jennifer, bruised and battered, finally makes it home. They let her walk off naked and while she’s in the woods they catch up with her and she’s raped by another guy. The men get bored and when they see Jennifer in a canoe they chase after her and eventually gets raped by Johnny. She is so nice to Matthew he gets a crush on her and starts bragging to Johnny and his friends. Not long after she meets Matthew who delivers groceries to her cabin. She attracts the attention of Johnny when she stops for gas and asks for directions. Jennifer, a woman from New York City, decides to spend the summer at a cabin on the lake. I hope she got paid extra for the extended nude scenes she had to go through. You feel her pain and shock as she is raped and degraded by these four men. Obviously the star of the show is Camille Keaton playing Jennifer. Yes, he eventually participates in the rapes, but I’m not comfortable with the revenge that was placed upon him. He’s awkwardly slow and has the mentality of someone a lot younger. He plays a man that you can tell has mental issues. Richard Pace as Matthew makes me the most uncomfortable out of the guys.
Johnny having a wife and kids makes him scarier because he can seem so normal (with a family) and yet be able to do such a horrible act. I did like that the characters of Johnny and Matthew were fleshed out more than the other guys. It was mild, but his character is what I have a problem with.Īs far as acting, most is ok. I don’t have a penis and I still cringed.
When you see the blood coming out of the water, that’s when you realize what she did. You kind of hear a pop or something and Johnny doesn’t realize yet what happened. You don’t actually see his cut off penis but the moments leading up to and after are more terrifying I think. Obviously the most disturbing is Johnny’s (Eron Tabor) death. Her only satisfaction is the revenge she inflicts on the men.įor an hour and forty one minutes, we only get four kills (5 if you count Jennifer’s innocence). She gets more than she expects when four men savagely rape her. As a fan of exploitation movies I get the revenge I want.Īn aspiring writer goes to the country for the summer. One side says it’s just misogynistic male fantasies and the other saying it’s a feminist movie where a damaged woman takes back her power and takes revenge on her attackers.
