Reviews for I Spit on Your Grave
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.
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.
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
Considering how many powerful people detested this movie, it's a testament to the film that it still even exists.
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
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.
Simply another crudely made, explicitly violent ‘70s-era exploitation flick.
