Joe Bob Briggs' review...

"I Spit On Your Grave: This flick is considered "the most disgusting movie ever made" by Ebert the Wimp and Siskel the Simp, who went on TV telling everybody that it makes men want to rape women, which is why the theaters quit running it. But "Spit" is the most feminist drive-in movie ever made. The most likely thing that'll happen after a man watches this flick-especially the bathtub scene-is he won't be able to walk straight for a week. A combination of "Deliverance," "Death Wish" and "Straw Dogs," this one has the second-best title of the '70s (the best is "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre") and is a category all unto its ownself. Camille Keaton, Eron Tabor and Richard Pace all give Drive-ln Academy Award performances-especially Tabor, who is the finest crudhead slimeball woman-hater ever portrayed on the big screen. The speech this guy gives about why it was necessary for him to rape Camille is a classic, and Meir Zarchi-one of those directors who is world renowned for just one movie, this one-develops every single scene so that, even though you already sorta know what's gonna happen, you're always surprised by what really does happen. The flick also has the best ad line in history: "This woman just chopped, burned, maimed and mutilated four men beyond recognition-and no jury in the world would convict her." A 94 on the Vomit Meter. Screenwriting Hall of Fame, for the following line, spoken by a drunk rapist standing over a battered, corpselike woman: "Total submission. That's what I like in a woman. Total submission."
