Critics Consensus

I Spit on Your Grave is as aggressively exploitative as its title suggests, although as a crude rejoinder to misogyny, it packs a certain amount of undeniable power.

0/4

This is a film without a shred of artistic distinction. It lacks even simple craftsmanship. There is no possible motive for exhibiting it, other than the totally cynical hope that it might make money.

Simply another crudely made, explicitly violent '70s-era exploitation flick.

I Spit On Your Grave does not maintain its level of offensiveness to become a sleaze cult classic as it strains credibility to such an extent that you can't really take it seriously.

8.5/10

The film is a reaction to a system that allows rape to thrive unpunished by using cinema to expose and punish the perpetrators.

I mean, it's a classic. There's no doubt about that. But I wouldn't consider it cult. I watched it as a challenge for myself, and I was able to get through it.

This is a real thriller. Enjoyed every second. Not expecting much from the remake, but I'll check it out. This one is a must to watch.

Widely overrated film, it's borderline comedy during the revenge sequence. It's sloppy, unrealistic and just stupid.

She just wanted a quiet summer getaway so she could write a novel. But nope. Rural rednecks are bored and have nothing else to do with there time. "A scoundrel plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire." Proverbs 16:27 (NIV)

This movie rivals Birdemic, The Room, and Troll 2 as one of the worst movies ever made. The super model main character whining about how much she feels like a victim despite being rich and famous immediately set the tone for a super annoying viewing experience.
