BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Wordiezett So much average

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

christopher-underwood This is a difficult film because it is so unremittingly brutal and not just regarding the actions of the men here but also in the woman's revenge in the third act. She is engaged in a power struggle, complete with teasing and coaxing as was the case with the guys. 'Day of the Woman' is a much better title for the film and would at least help a little in those early scenes being assured there was to be some pay back. In the end, the main problem here is some of the acting is somewhat lacking, although Camille Keaton is great in a very difficult duel role as victim and avenger. I thought the use of the mentally challenged , 'village idiot' as I've seen him described, is far too overdone and undermines the film as a whole. It may have softened some scenes by distracting attention from the main horror but I don't think that as a good thing. I wouldn't recommend the film to anyone but wouldn't dissuade anyone either. Its obvious what you are in for and is surprisingly well made. The forest and river scenes glisten and glow like they certainly never did on my first video but then that did also soften the awfulness of some of these proceedings.

ja-191-280465 Meir Zarchi directs this brutal tale of rape and revenge starring Camille Keaton as a woman who is stalked, raped and tortured by four seemingly normal, sadistic freaks. Keaton plays Jennifer, a writer who travels alone to stay at a secluded house. While settling in, she is soon befriended by Matthew, a slow witted delivery boy who gets pressured into joining the sick escapades of his three twisted playmates. While relaxing in a canoe in the lake, the innocent Jennifer is soon approached by two of the sleaze balls on a speed boat and is dragged and then chased and held captive in the bushes. No matter where she goes, the four sickos catch up to her as she tries to escape and continue to rape, beat and torture her before leaving her for dead. Pretty soon, the four louts vanish giving Jennifer plenty of time to pull herself and regain her strength. After talking poor, old Matthew into killing her, two of the jerks pop back on the scene in their little speed boat only to find out that she's not dead. Furious,the three sorry clowns beat the crap out of Matthew forcing him to leave and never come back. Before carrying out her quest for revenge, Jennifer visits a local church where she seeks forgiveness in advance. And now the icing on the cake: The four stupid retards3 get what's coming to them as Jennifer offs them one by one. In the end, she sails off on their speed boat into the unknown. Overall, pretty decent movie. The setting is perfect for the theme of the movie. In addition, the characters including the lead gave good, solid performances.

The_Film_Cricket You know, I started thinking about this movie against my better judgment and I wondered how a movie like this ever got made. I wondered how the director Mier Zarchi (let's mention all the names, no one gets away from this mess) pushed this story.How do you convince a crew of people: "Okay, we're going to make a movie about a woman who gets raped and beaten five or six times, then cuts the men up one by one". How do you tell your lead actress Camille Keaton that the scene requires her to walk through the woods naked and then get sodomized by three men? What does anyone hope to gain from a project like this? I'm not a prude but I do have my limits on what I will tolerate on screen and this isn't it. This is a movie that supposedly gets revenge on rapists but all it does is show the depths of what some people are willing to put on screen. Think of the thousands of ideas and stories that can be told and ponder why on earth someone settled on this.I choose "I Spit On Your Grave" as the worst movie that I have ever seen and I guess the director would deem this as a compliment, but in my estimation he should be ashamed of himself.

callanvass A budding writer moves away to move to a remote cabin somewhere in New York in the woods, with nothing but peace and quiet. Along the way, she encounters some mysterious men at a gas station. Not too long after, she is harassed and raped by the same men. She goes through an ugly transformation and turns into a female vigilante to get revenge on the rapists. This is one of the video nasties that people have talked about for years. It's up there with Last House on The Left, Virgin Spring, and Deliverance. Ostensibly, it was so bad that Roger Ebert walked out on the movie incensed. He gave it zero stars. With all due respect to Ebert, this movie wasn't made for the public. It's supposed to revolt you and be repulsive. This was never meant to be along the lines of "It's a Wonderful Life" This is a brutal revenge film and that's all there is to it. As far as revenge films are concerned, it succeeds in that aspect. In some ways I can see why it was banned. It's unrelentingly brutal in some scenes and the rape scenes are very hard to endure. I'm talking lengthy rape scenes that can make even the strongest of stomachs churn. The dialog is very simple, perhaps a bit lewd at times, but it fits the movie. I'm a guy and this movie reminded me of how disgusting other guys can be at times. It is a harsh reality of how guys view women at times. I can only imagine how difficult it was to film this movie for some of the cast members. The acting is decent for this sort of thing. Camille Keaton is gorgeous but a solid actress as well. Considering what she had to go through, I wouldn't be shocked if some of the emotion was real. It was a good job on her part. My only carp with her character is that I would have liked more character development. The people who portray the rapists are very good at playing perverted creeps, that's all I'll say. I'll be sure to word this as carefully as possible, but I was highly satisfied with the ending. Those that like violent revenge will be pleased. There isn't much gore, but many unforgettable images. I'll just say a castration is a highlight. This movie won't be for everybody. If you found Last House on The Left engrossing, this will be right up your alley. It's not a movie I make a habit of watching often, but it's above average for what it is. If you have the stomach for it, check it out6.6/10
