I Spit On Your Grave
I Spit On This Movie
Ok, this movie doesn't need a mega long review because I don't want to think about this movie after tonight and I don't want to make you, dear reader, suffer. So let's see if I can make this the quickest and shortest Friday Night Video Review Ever.
Jenny is a writer from New York who goes to her summer cabin somewhere in Connecticut. On the way to the cabin she meets Johnny, who works and owns a small gas station in this small town. Also at this gas station are two rednecks named Andy and Stanley. They get a look at Jenny as he drives away.
Jenny settles into her cabin and calls for groceries, which are delievered by Matthew, a very geeky, nervous, nerdy guy who takes a liking to Jenny. It also turns out he hangs out with Johnny, Andy, and Stanley, dispite the fact his name doesn't end with a "Y". Matthew mentions to the gang of rednecks that he'd like to be with Jenny. And he's doing this while taking a shit in the woods while the other three are fishing. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
The next day, Jenny is sunbathing on a small raft she has when Andy and Stanley swoop by, grab the rope of the raft, and pull Jenny to the remote woods. Once there, the movie turns into a snuff film (Yay, I seen my first snuff film) where they proceed to rape and beat her. This repeats four times, once for each guy. And they're doing this because Matthew wanted her.
After the second guy, Jenny manages to crawl home but the assholes are waiting for her and Matthew takes his turn but doesn't finish so the last guy goes. Then outside Johnny tells Matthew to go in and kill her, but he feels rather bad about the whole thing so he just wipes blood on the knife and says he did it.
During the next two weeks, Jenny recovers and vows revenge. She goes to a church to ask forgiveness, and once Jesus and/or God said "Yeah sure, go ahead, we'll just turn our heads this one time", the killing begins.
She starts with Matthew and she manages to get a noose around his neck while he's fucking her (I guess this is part of the revenge plan) and hangs him until he stops wiggling. Then she picks up Johnny, takes him to her house, and while giving him a handjob gives him the Lorena Bobbit special, and leaves him in the bathroom to bleed to death. Finally, Andy and Stanley swing by Jenny's place to confront her and so I don't make it long and drawn out like the movie did, sticks an ax in Andy's back and chops off something of Stanley's. We imagine she gets away with all of this because after chopping off whatever of Stanley's, the movie ends.
Plain and simple, this movie really sucks ass, I don't know who'd want to see 45 minutes of a rape scene just to get to the cool dismemberment parts. If you want to see a movie where a chick gets revenge on some people who did something horrible to her, I'd recommend the classic movie that everyone was buzzing about and is one of my favorites. This movie is, of course, "Little Black Book".
No stars.

(For some odd reason, thos movie is also titled "Day of The Woman", like it's a 50's sci-fi movie where a woman becomes 50 feet tall and attacks a town. I mean, come on, that idea is outragous!)
