She does what she has to and leaves, she doesn’t care to wait for their death as she is smart enough to know that there is no escape from what positions she leaves them in. What strikes me most upon this rewatch was how nonchalant she is about each death. We want to see Jennifer’s attackers get their comeuppance. The sheer luck of the casting and the time overall premise are what drive the film. Make no mistake, however, the dialogue and cinematography are as amateur as it gets. We almost certainly would not have gotten this collectors box. Without her performance I am not sure how long I Spit on Your Grave would be remembered for. Her actions are stark and sinister, but very much deserving. There is a lot to be said that her portrayal of Jennifer is the ultimate in the “Final Girl” category. Despite what happens throughout the film, this is a film owned by Camille Keaton, who deserves all the plaudits for her brave performance. Her response is apt and equally as disturbing as she becomes death to her attackers. In some films, there is a long wait and a sense of dread of what is going to happen. The suddenness and escalation will catch many by surprise and in the truth that brings a sense of reality to the film. He didn’t want you to find anything enjoyable about this act (acts). You want and probably will turn away during it and I think that was Zarchi’s intent. The rape scenes are of course horrific to watch, even in this version of the film. It is not until the uncomfortable first meeting with her attackers and future victims that director Meir Zarchi twists the knife on the audience. Everything appears calm and we get to know Jennifer and her surroundings. I Spit on Your Grave actually deceives the audience for the first portion of the film.

What comes instead is a series of events that will change her for the rest of her life as her quiet retreat becomes a hell. Telling the tale of Jennifer Hills ( Camille Keaton), a writer from the city, she is on the lookout for a little quiet place to finish her first novel. Banned in multiple European countries, it seemed as if the film would never be a success. Let’s start all the way back to 1978 with the original which is still a difficult watch today despite the film being cut to pieces to get it through the BBFC.

Proving that although it was hard to believe, there was indeed and continued to be a large audience for this type of grim horror.Ĭelebrating this fact is the release of a collector’s edition boxset, housing all of the films plus a brand new documentary about the series.
I Spit on Your Grave has since gone on to spawn 4 further films. Famously called “a movie so sick, reprehensible and contemptible that I can hardly believe it’s playing in respectable theatres” by Roger Ebert.
