(M) I Spit On Your Grave (1978)
Grade: A

Originally titled 'Day Of The Woman', this low budget film sparked a bit of controversy with it's female vengence and senseless violence back in the day. I thought this movie was great. It's 70's... it's low-budget... it's crazy!

A female short story writer, Jennifer Hill, rents a cabin for the summer to write her first novel. The small town isn't so friendly when a group of four guys rape and beat Jennifer and leave her for dead. Jennifer then seeks out her murderous revenge. Labeled controversial for it's repeated rape scenes and violence. The bonus feature of reviews of the movie from back in the day are on one hand amusing and on the other hand frightening as to the audiences reactions to the movie. Especially Roger Ebert's review... the guy sitting by him must have been INSANE!
