I Spit On Your Grave does not maintain its level of offensiveness to become a sleaze cult classic as it strains credibility to such an extent that you can't really take it seriously.

For those who are intrigued, go in prepared for a troubling experience guaranteed to make an impact -- whatever that may be for you.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2021

The film is a reaction to a system that allows rape to thrive unpunished by using cinema to expose and punish the perpetrators.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Oct 15, 2021

Zarchi's refusal to place a musical score or focus on Keaton as a titillating object of desire adds to a sense of complete discomfort in long, unyielding sequences from which there's no escape.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 23, 2020

The entertainment value is really only for horror and exploitation enthusiasts.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 30, 2020

Director Meir Zarchi may have been trying to make a point about the horrors of rape, brutality, revenge, and reprisal, but he simply isn't a good enough director to extract any relevance or nuance from his exploitative material

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 27, 2018

It's poorly made, the acting is non-existent and it's overly violent and brutal. That being said, it's a wildly notorious film and its legacy is undeniable.

It's about the strongest "Take Back the Night" statement ever made. She doesn't just take back the night. She takes back the night, the morning, the afternoon, and steals the clock while she's at it.

This is a film without a shred of artistic distinction. It lacks even simple craftsmanship. There is no possible motive for exhibiting it, other than the totally cynical hope that it might make money.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Sep 20, 2012

Where the original really comes crashing down into a heap of garbage, though, is in the revenge angle.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 12, 2011

Gruesome and incredibly exploitative. However, for better or for worse, I Spit on Your Grave shows us the raw, shocking reality of rape, in all its bloody viciousness.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 5, 2011

A precise and damning indictment of male sexuality, perhaps the most stridently anti-masculine film ever made by a male filmmaker.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 28, 2010

Purposefully unwatchable

| Feb 13, 2010

The movie does wield crude and considerable power.

| Original Score: C | Sep 24, 2007

Still an effective and shocking bit of revenge cinema...

| Jul 10, 2007

Salivating gore with classic title.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 10, 2006

A montagem peca pela falta de ritmo e as mortes so patticas, mas os dois primeiros atos do filme chocam pela intensidade com que retratam a violncia sofrida pela personagem de Keaton, que, alis, oferece uma performance visceral.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/5 | Dec 9, 2005

Simply another crudely made, explicitly violent '70s-era exploitation flick.

| Original Score: C- | Oct 10, 2005

This is one exploitation horror movie that lives up to its classic title.
