Camille Keaton, grand-niece of Buster and star of the thriller Cosa Avete Fatto a Solange?, appears here as Jenny, an aspiring novelist who rents a cabin in the Connecticut woods. Three rednecks at a local gas station and a retarded delivery boy seem quite friendly at first, and many viewers wonder just where director Meir Zarchi is going with the story. Then he drops them 200,000 feet right into the center of Hell for the longest, nastiest, and most brutal gang-rape in motion-picture history. Zarchi takes his time with this scene, not for the sake of titillation, but to make the audience feel the absolute horror of Jenny's plight. She is humiliated, sodomized over a rock, and brutally beaten in the middle of the woods. Then she crawls home, naked and bruised, only to get a repeat performance with her new novel shredded, her stomach kicked, and a bottle rammed violently inside her. The experience leaves Jenny shell-shocked, a cipher completely detached from reality. She hangs the delivery boy from a tree, gorily castrates the ringleader in a bathtub, and dispatches the other two rapists with an axe and an outboard motor. Eron Tabor, Richard Pace, Anthony Nicholls, and Gunter Kleeman co-star. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

One of the most popular cult films of all time is the vomit fest I Spit on Your Grave. Elite's work on this 1.85:1 nonanamorphic widescreen transfer is only passable at best. While the image is generally bright, the bulk of the transfer includes a ton of grain and some slightly muted color schemes. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and is better than average, though still flat and unimpressive. While the mix is clear of any excessive hiss or distortion, the directional effects are kept to a bare minimum. No alternate soundtracks or subtitles are available on this disc. The extra features for I Spit on Your Grave are at the bare minimum -- the only supplement available on this disc is a full-frame theatrical trailer for the film. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
