Reviews for I Spit on Your Grave
Defenders of the film have argued that it's actually pro-woman, due to the fact that the female lead wins in the end, which is sort of like saying that cockfights are pro-rooster because there's always one left standing.
This brutal, explicit rape-revenge movie isn't for the faint of heart, but it's told with an eerie minimalism that marks it a grim, disturbing B-movie portrait of civilization’s abuse at the hands of savagery, and its subsequent, equally barbarous revenge
While it delivers up the requisite amounts of violence and nudity to satisfy the requirements of the genre, it also has an edgy and decidedly anti-rape sentiment
I Spit On Your Grave is more an over-hyped legend than a powerful motion picture -- it is less something to experience than something to talk about.
Here it is: with grotesque and repugnant tastes, the worst movie of 1980.
Anyone seriously interested in the social impact of film should see this.
Simply another crudely made, explicitly violent ‘70s-era exploitation flick.
A montagem peca pela falta de ritmo e as mortes são patéticas, mas os dois primeiros atos do filme chocam pela intensidade com que retratam a violência sofrida pela personagem de Keaton, que, aliás, oferece uma performance visceral.
