I found that the reality of her scrawny, pale body accentuated the horror and the pain of the rape sequence. I think I find it especially egregious because Jennifer is so not the robust Amazon woman depicted on the cover. It’s not even a de-contextualized still from the film. Kristine: Yes, and also the image on the poster/video cover. But no jury in American would ever convict her!”? Sean: Do you mean the tagline, “This woman has just cut, chopped, broken, and burned five men beyond recognition.

Which is maybe why this movie is widely loathed? I have to say that I think the biggest problem is how the movie was marketed. Kristine: I feel fairly certain that the large majority of viewers ended up very disappointed if they thought I Spit on Your Grave was going to be some kind of sexy romp. And then talking about the movies and laughing/dying about them with friends.Įnjoying her agency and freedom – however briefly Sean: Yes, and being like, “Can I watch this?” and feeling like they’re violating a 1,000 taboos. I imagine men of the era trading VHS tapes of video nasties with their buds, like girls did with their copies of V.C. I’m sure most men/boys watched this movie either alone in their rooms deep into the midnight hour or with beers and friends during some kind of collective “do we dare watch this?” type of hang. That’s very different from the way audiences discovered or encountered this movie during the videocassette era. Sean: Yeah, it is a weird way to be introduced to this movie, with the overt intention of approaching it academically.
Sean: I actually first saw this movie in the context of a graduate school class in 2006. I can’t give it a Filth rating because I don’t believe the sex/violence was gratuitous (perhaps merely misguided in places).
Kristine: It is supremely nasty in all definitions of the word. How nasty did you find I Spit on Your Grave on a scale of 1 to Filth? Sean: Are you feeling nasty for our first Video Nasty? If you haven’t seen I Spit on Your Grave our discussion will include massive SPOILERS.
