\"\"I Spit on Your Grave<\/em><\/strong> is certainly one of the more uncomfortable movies to come out of the 1970s and while it\u2019s not \u2018entertaining\u2019, there are aspects to respect like the atmosphere along with a brave performance from Camille Keaton.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 3\u00bd\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Jennifer Hills (CAMILLE KEATON) is a young and beautiful career woman who rents a back-woods cabin to write her first novel. Attacked by a group of local lowlifes and left for dead, she devises a horrific plan to inflict revenge.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>Admittedly when I first watched I Spit on Your Grave<\/em><\/strong> back in 2011, I wasn\u2019t very impressed, sure I was disgusted by the sexual assault scenes but didn\u2019t find all that much very compelling (and interestingly, got a follow on Twitter by the director following posting my review). I never imagined revisiting this movie but having received the new 4K UHD\/Blu-ray, decided to give it another watch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although I still don\u2019t think it\u2019s great or anything nearing incredible, I do appreciate some aspects. Beyond Camille Keaton who was fantastic in the lead in what had to be an emotional shoot with her brutal scenes, the atmosphere presented by writer-director Meir Zarchi was pretty haunting as there was no score or soundtrack used and instead we\u2019re left with the sounds of nature which gives the film an eerie feeling especially when the vicious and vile assault happens, not to mention Jennifer\u2019s screams of agony which was pretty stomach-churning. That said, the revenge portion which takes up the third act has some brutal moments however these weren\u2019t entirely satisfying considering the torture Jennifer went through.<\/p>\n

Not sure where I Spit on Your Grave <\/em><\/strong>stands in the grand scheme of cinema, or even 1970s cinema which was certainly a great decade. Personally I\u2019m not sure I would revisit this any times soon (perhaps in another 10 years when I\u2019ll be in my 50s) and it\u2019s not at all entertaining as much it\u2019s uncomfortable. Course, maybe that was Zarchi\u2019s point and for that I guess he succeeded.<\/p>\n
