I Spit on Your Grave — an infamous 1978 grindhouse Rape and Revenge Exploitation Film also known as Day of the Woman — follows the story of Jennifer Hills, an aspiring writer from New York who rents a riverside cabin out in the woods so she can work on her first novel in peace. She catches the eye of four local rednecks (Johnny, Andy, Stanley and Matthew, the last of which seems mentally handicapped) who take a shine to Jennifer and decide to harass her while she sunbathes. That night, the rednecks break into her cabin and harass her while she lies in bed. The day after that, the rednecks kidnap her from her boat, pull her ashore, and brutalize her in some of the lengthiest, most realistic, and goddamned disturbing rape scenes in film history. (They also mock and rip up her novel.)After the rapists leave the scene of their crime, they order Matthew — who had previously shown some affection for Jennifer and didn't want to participate in the rapes — to go back and kill her. Matthew cannot bring himself to do it, so he smears blood on the knife to make it look like he did. Thanks to Matthew's mercy, Jennifer eventually recovers, and over the next few days, she goes on her own personal Roaring Rampage of Revenge. She starts by seducing Matthew before she hangs him from a tree. She then finds Johnny and holds him at gunpoint — and then she invites him back to her house, where she takes a bath with him, castrates him with a kitchen knife, and leaves him to bleed to death. To cap her rampage off, she swims out to Andy and Stanley's boat, pushes them overboard, then axes one in the back and disembowels the other with the propeller — and before she finishes the job, she shouts out exactly what he had told her while he raped her: "Suck it, bitch!".Director Meir Zarchi reportedly got the idea for the film after he assisted a rape victim in Central Park. Camille Keaton, grand-niece of Buster Keaton and Meir Zarchi's wife at the time, played the role of Jennifer. The film ended up placed on Britain's infamous Video Nasties list, and as such, it carries a certain level of infamy to this day.Roger Ebert hated this film.There was a pseudo-sequel called Savage Vengeance, shot in 1988 but unreleased until 1993. A 2010 remake adds a new character, Sheriff Storch, and a stylistic difference from the original: the middle act of the film follows the gang of rapists rather than Jennifer by showing a montage of the rednecks going on with their lives before strange things begin to happen to them (in a way reminiscent of I Know What You Did Last Summer). The effect of this change makes it look as if each redneck fears that someone knows what they did — or that one of them has turned on the others.Roger Ebert didn't like the remake, either. (He probably would have felt the same way about the remake's sequels if he had lived to see them.)In 2019, 40 years after the original, a direct-to-video sequel titled I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu was released. It revolves around Jennifer Hills, who after being acquitted of the revenge she enacted on her rapists, is now a successful author after writing a book of her experience, and has a daughter of her own named Christy. But soon both Jennifer and Christy are kidnapped by the families of Jennifer’s rapists, who are planning to enact some revenge of their own. | |

All Men Are Perverts: In the remake, Johnny sees a pretty girl at his gas station. He tries to make advances on her, only for the woman to reveal herself as Jennifer, who subsequently knocks him out so she can take him to his death trap. You’d think that by that point, he would have learned his lesson. Averted in the second film with Detective Kirill and Father Dimov, who try to help Katie Carter. | |

As the Good Book Says... | |
| I Spit on Your Grave / int_2439b588 | comment |
As the Good Book Says...: A visual example occurs in the second film. Father Dimov sees that Katie has been looking at Romans 12:19, or "Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord; I will repay." The middle part is obscured, and he rightly suspects she's not going to wait on God avenging her. Some of the antagonists quote, paraphrase or just make up quotes from the Bible in the fourth film to justify their actions. | |

He Who Fights Monsters | |
| I Spit on Your Grave / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: Jennifer had to become a monster in order to get her revenge. In the remake, her whole demeanor post-rape changes to show that the assault she endured left her dead inside. That trope continues in the third film. Katie becomes this too. However, unlike Jennifer, Kirill manages to actually stop Katie from killing her last victims and seemingly pulls her back from the edge. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Matthew cannot bring himself to kill Jennifer, and even seems disturbed by some of the things his friends do to her, not that he does (or can do) anything to help. Accordingly, at least in the remake, Jennifer kills Matthew in a noticeably less sadistic manner than her other rapists. | |

Hollywood Law | |
| I Spit on Your Grave / int_3322dd48 | comment |
Hollywood Law: The poster claims that no jury would convict Jennifer for killing the men. They almost certainly would, as revenge for a previous crime does not justify four premeditated homicides. This is not the case in the film itself, which makes no mention of the authorities, and Jennifer is careful to dispose of all the bodies in the river - presumably knowing she would have a hard time getting away with four murders. | |

Break the Cutie: Jennifer's rapists do this to her in the worst possible way. Christy in Deja Vu goes through this as well, first getting kidnapped by the families of her mother’s rapists, then finding the decapitated corpse of her mother, then being raped shortly afterwards. | |

Male Frontal Nudity: We get a very close look at Ivan's balls in the second film, as Katie slowly crushes them in a vice. In the third film, Jennifer quite explicitly mutilates Nicholas' penis. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| I Spit on Your Grave / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Played straight in that Storch is a Dirty Cop who joins in on Jennifer's rape, torture and attempted murder. Naturally, when her publisher calls Earl over a month later to report Jennifer missing, she's ignored. Zig-zagged in the second film. After Katie escapes the first time, a uniformed police officer approaches her relatively quickly and Kirill interviews her. It's somewhat played straight in that Kirill doesn't quite believe Katie's story and turns her over to a friend from church who he thought was a counselor but was actually the mother of Katie's rapists without any verification. Fortunately, he realizes his mistake later on, calls the US Embassy and saves Katie's life in the end. Averted in the third film. McDylan is seen initially as a bumbling but friendly SVU Detective who by the end proves to be an effective investigator and police officer who is forced to shoot Jennifer in order to stop her from killing her latest victim. The police in general are shown to be competent and quickly connect the victims to the rape survivor group that Jennifer was a part of. In the remake and its sequels, it's possible the entire revenge plot could have been avoided just by going to the authorities. However, the avengers are clearly uninterested. In the remake, Jennifer survives, then steals the tape of her rape. Assuming she'd turned this over to the police (maybe state troopers, bypassing Sheriff Storch), it's probable they would all have been arrested and later also convicted of their crimes. Katie escaped, so she could tell the police who did it and where they were. However, in her case she might have feared police were in on it, as after going to them the first time Ana came and turned her over to the rapists once again. Jennifer knew Marla intended to go retrieve some stuff from her abusive ex-boyfriend. Once she learns Marla was killed, telling the police about this might have helped to prove her boyfriend did it. She never even once mentions it though. Also, the whole rape support group knew Cassie is still being raped, yet not one says she could go to the police, or a woman's shelter at least. If she did go to the police, it's quite possible Ron would have been convicted, as even if they couldn't prove intent she's underage so any sexual contact would be statutory rape in any case. | |

Forced to Watch: In the second film, one of Katie's neighbors tries to save her, only to be fatally stabbed. Katie is forced to watch her neighbor bleed to death in front of her while he watches her get raped in front of him and not be able to do anything to help each other. Katie also gets revenge on Ana for helping to traffick her by forcing her to watch Katie kill her son Georgy and torture her stepson Ivan. | |

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: In Vengeance Is Mine Jennifer uses a pseudonym and at the first group therapy session a man comes up to her to inform her and the audience that the last name she's chosen means "Morning Star". She spends the film luring sinful men (rapists before she starts expanding her scope) to what, for them, is ironic hell. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The sheriff in the remake also has a wife and a daughter, with another baby on the way. He seems to genuinely love them and is distraught when he thinks Jennifer kidnapped his daughter. The traffickers from the second film are brothers who clearly care for one another and their mother (who is a victim of trafficking herself and now is complicit in their crimes) cares for them as well. Valko, whom they sell Katie to, also has a wife. He fearfully says she must go home when Katie's appearance in the church freaks him out. | |

Stockholm Syndrome: Ana in the second film is revealed to be a victim of the sex traffickers herself. She'd not only been raped like Katie is, but gave birth to two sons as a result (who now are members of the ring). In the present, she assists them in luring new victims into their clutches (like Katie). Even so, as she's upstairs hearing them rape Katie in the cellar, she weeps silently holding a doll. You can't help but sympathize, despite what she did to Katie, knowing that she's probably been utterly broken and brainwashed by her experience. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Chief from the third movie. Sure, a woman in a sexy red dress with clear bruising on her face who seems slightly off-kilter offering you a blowjob is perfectly legit. | |

Hope Spot: In the remake Jennifer manages to run away before they rape her and runs into the sheriff. The film lets you think he might help her, only for him to turn out to be as bad as the rest. In the second film, Katie was able to escape the basement she was held in and talked to the police. Sadly, Kirill left her in the hands of Ana, a woman he knows from church, who turns out to be the rapists' mother. She leads her right back to the very basement she escaped from. In the third film, Jennifer becomes friends with a fellow survivor, Marla, who stands up for her when she gets sexually harassed and we see her start to get better. Sadly, Marla is murdered, causing Jennifer to slip back into darkness. | |

Ass Shove: Jennifer pays back Sheriff Storch for anally raping her by sodomizing him with a shotgun, and gets Matthew to fire it, while it's still pointing at his ass. She does the same to a step-father who was raping his step-daughter in the third film, only using a pipe and sledgehammer. DAMN. | |

Nice Guy | |
| I Spit on Your Grave / int_c5249b29 | comment |
Nice Guy: There are a few people that deserve a mention. In the first film is Earl, the man who rented the cabin to Jennifer. He's a nice, honest and decent guy who was friends with the Sheriff. Sadly, that doesn't stop the Sheriff from killing him when it becomes clear that he's a witness against him. In the second film is Father Dimov, a priest who confronts Katie after catching her breaking into the church. He gives her clothing, food and a Bible and says she's welcome at the church. He recognizes that she has been a victim of abuse and is nothing short of kind, patient and respectful. Detective McDylan in the third film, who is shown to be a friendly guy who makes an effort to build rapport with witnesses and suspects alike. That Jennifer was the only one of the group (that we see) who willingly talks to him and answers his questions says a lot about the kind of man he is. Even after she becomes a suspect, he's still nothing short of polite and patient with her and even ends up, albeit indirectly, saving her from life in prison or death row by shooting her. | |

Fan Disservice: The over 20-minute rape scene is famous for being absolutely brutal, rather than eroticized like many other exploitation films. The sequels carry on that tradition. There's a lot of nudity, but it is never in the least erotic. | |

The Ditz: The film tries to portray Matthew as this — but even the other rapists look dumb. The group orders the one person who had shown some reluctance to violate Jennifer to kill her. One of them even accepts an invitation to hop in her car and take a bath with her, even though she had held him at gunpoint seconds earlier. Ah well, anyone who saw the movie or read this article knows what happens to him. | |

Artistic License – Cars: In the remake, Jennifer is able to hide in the backseat of a police car and knock out the sheriff while he is in the driver's seat. This is the exact thing that partitions between the front and back seats of police vehicles are there to prevent. The lack of a partition could be justified as scenes in the film establish the area as poor. The Sheriff's car is a 1996 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor that's showing its age and was built during an era where partitions weren't as much of a consideration. | |

Let Off by the Detective: In the second film, Kirill lets Katie go after discovering she's murdered her rapists (he also kills the last one to stop him from killing her). This seems to stem largely from guilt, as he had unwittingly handed her back into their hands. Though he didn't let Jennifer off completely, Detective McDylan in the third film may have got her last attack down from an attempted murder to assault, since by the end of the film she's about to get out after doing just two years in prison. | |

Never Trust a Title: The movie does not, in fact, contain any graves or any spitting thereon, though Jennifer's utter hatred for her rapists is such that the metaphor definitely qualifies. The original title was Day of the Woman, which the director still prefers. Deja Vu justifies the first part of the title by revealing that Jennifer published a novel about her experience titled "I spit on their graves". Also, when the family members kill Jennifer, they literally spit on her grave after burying her. | |
