1.0 out of 5 stars
Ok, this is just bad!, October 28, 2002
This review is from: I Spit on Your Corpse, I Piss on Your Grave (2001) (DVD)
Amazon has this movie as a 1974 release, which is one of the main reasons I bought it. It's not a 74' release, it's a 2001 release by a group of about 10 inexperienced, amateurish, 20-something "filmakers." The "plot" is on a girl who meets her escaped from jail b/f in the woods and he takes her to some guys house where he has captured 3 different guys who have in some way done this girl wrong.
The b/f says he will kill her too, but she ends up defending herself and killing him instead. The tables turn and instead of releasing these guys she decides to torture and kill them one by one in some inhumane ways (pretty sick stuff, but so badly done it's stupid). After her revenge, the movie's over.
This "film" runs 73 minutes long, and about the first 20 are pointless overly run shots of the b/f's brother attacking a girl (which really has nothing at all to do with the story) and some pointless still shots of religious statues in a cemetary (which also have no meaning whatsoever to the movie).
...It took them 8 days to shoot this thing...8! How good of a movie can you have in 8 days? It just looks like people who were bored and needed something to do. And the sex scenes?! Ridiculous! There is 1 real lovemaking scene which is the stupidest thing ive ever seen on film. One sodomizing scene with a broom handle, which i guess could be "graphic," and a scene of the girl masterbating with the broomstick (which is the only good part of the movie). The extras are funny though, not in a good way. "the making of" stuff runs waaayyyy too long for such short and cheap of a movie, and the fact that these people are proud of their efforts is even more pathetic. I can't say enough bad things about this dvd! It's boring, it's stupid, it's extremely low budget. This is the kind of movie that shouldn't be sold but be distributed free for promotional uses (ok, maybe they should sell it, but for no more then 10 bucks!) When I got this I thought I was actually buying a REAL movie, obviously I was very sadly disappointed. DON'T BUY THIS, YOU'LL REGRET IT, I GUARANTEE IT!

Not as shocking as it thinks it is, June 14, 2005
This review is from: I Spit on Your Corpse, I Piss on Your Grave (2001) (DVD)
Apparently the film-maker thinks he is pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable to put in a movie, but (most) of the scenes in the film have been done better elsewhere. A great deal of the film simply consists of shots of a graveyard, shots of Jesus statues, more shots of tombstones, some meaningless dialog, and then some more dumb footage of something or other. The acting was better than to be expected, and of course the highly unexpected (and highly un-titilating) broom-handle insertion scene is kind of shocking, but on the whole after watching it I kind of wanted to spit on the director and piss on this DVD for wasting my time.

Unwatchable, March 31, 2005
This review is from: I Spit on Your Corpse, I Piss on Your Grave (2001) (DVD)
This sexploitation/revenge "homemade video" might have at least a bit of campy appeal if it were really made in 1974. But no, this is a 2001 job and has no value at all. It's not scary. It's not funny. It's not sexy (though it is explicitly sadistic enough to fall in the category of pornography; I'm surprised Amazon even sells it). The acting and production values are atrocious. It's a miserable mess. I fast forwarded through most of it until finally I gave up on it. Simply unwatchable.
