I Spit On Your Grave (DVD)

I Spit On Your Grave is a movie which probably most of you have heard mentioned at one time or another but have actually never seen. It is a movie around which controversy has reined since its release back in the late 70s but one which most of its critics have never actually seen. Well, trust me, whether they have seen it or not, their criticisms are fully justified. It is banned in this country and has been since its release, but as with all banned movies, they are readliy available if you look in the right places - and they certainly aren't banned in many other countries. I saw I Spit On Your Grave a few years ago simply because it WAS banned and I hate the idea of ...  Read the complete review

Obviously not too pleased by this stereotypical, indeed completely cliched behaviour, she decides to take revenge on each of them, killing them all.

This is a very controversial movie from the 1970's that deals with rape and vigilante justice. It is also known by the title of Day of the Woman. This is definitely not for children including the review. Jennifer Hills is a woman who goes to the country from New York to write a book. Four local men, including one mildly retarded guy named Mathew, consider her to be a bit uppity with her city ways and for some unknown reason decide to rape her.

They also last about 20 minutes which is rather rare for any movie from my understanding. The ...  Read the complete review
