I own this DVD and yes it's horrifying, yes it's brutal and yes it will scare the hell out of you. But one word that cannot be used to describe it is "typical".\n\nCamille Keaton (Buster Keaton's daughter) stars as the victim of a brutal gang rape by 4 completely animalistic backwoods country boys, one of whom is slightly mentally handicapped. She moves to this jerkwater town to write a novel. The four guys see her while she is sunning herself out in a canoe on a river. They attack her, rape and beat her, and leave her for dead.\n\nShe doesn't die, she recovers but doesn't contact the authorities to report the rapists. She decides to get revenge her own way and this is where the film gets REALLY brutal. The bathtub was the most shocking thing I had ever seen the first time I saw this movie. I won't go into details about the scene, but let's just say that guy, had he lived, would not be raping any more women. In a fairly jarring moment, Camille's character encounters the guy's wife and children waiting for him at the gas station where he works. He's not there because he's dead in Camille's bathtub, but you can see Camille start to feel guilty about killing him and robbing the children of their father. This is deeper drama than this type of film normally depicts. However, she dispatches all four of these degenerates one by one, even the mentally handicapped one.\n\nThis is a movie about a woman who takes control of her own life after a devastating attack on her body and psyche. The power she displays could be inspirational if the movie had been made that way, but it does take the Revenge genre of movies to a whole new level.\n\nThe guy who made this flick, Meir Zachi (I think) also did another movie called "Don't Mess With My Sister", and THIS movie truly sucks on toast, but "I Spit on Your Grave" is one helluva zero budget thriller. Rent the UNrated version  to see this movie as it is supposed to be seen. I doubt uyou will come away form it unaffected on a deeply personal level.

I LOVED the movie...I read the book first!  It was one of my favorite movies as a teenThe name of it is called "Sooner or Later".  It was back in 1978 or 79.  The guitar instructor was played by Rex Smith.\n\nHere is a summary of it:\nFor those who may not have seen it, the film centers on pretty 13-year-old Jessie Walters.  A visit to a cosmetic counter changes her whole life when a make-over transforms her into a young girl that could easily pass for 16.   Bring in Michael Skye, the gorgeous 17-year-old singer for the Skye Band whom Jessie sees performing at the very shopping mall where she was magically transformed.   It's love at first sight!  But...sigh...Jessie will never see him again...or will she?\n\nAs fate would have it, Jessie signs up for guitar lessons, and who would her instructor just HAPPEN to be??  MICHAEL SKYE!  Michael offers lovely Jessie a ride home.  And "how old are you?" inquires Michael.   "16!"  It's out before Jessie can stop it!\n\nSo begins a series of humorous scenarios by Jessie to carry out her sham as a "16 year old."  And along the way..the two fall in love.  But when Jessie finds herself next to Michael at a drive-in movie, will she be able to follow through with all that being 16 might mean?\n\nThe humor of the film is both wonderfully funny and wonderfully warm ~ which keeps this movie from going over the top and becoming "after-school special" material.  Hearing the voices in Jessie's head, spewing scenarios from cheezy dimestore romance novels in a hilarious ~ and horribly off-kilter ~ southern drawl is just a sampling of what makes this movie worth the price of admission.\n\nWhile the movie is dated in some physical respects, this is part of what makes the film so enjoyable and one that will take you down memory lane.   How about that typical 70's teen idol/Motley Crue long hair on Rex Smith ~ goes just right with his embroidered-pocket jeans and butterfly collars!  And it's hilarious to see him tooling around in that GIGANTIC puke-green road yacht (a.k.a. 1970's station wagon).  Also be sure to check out the posters on Caroline's wall, Jessie's best friend.  Anybody remember Shaun Cassidy??\n\nBut while the physical aspects may be dated, first love and teen angst are issues that span generations and will always be up to date.  This is a film I plan on showing my daughter when she's old enough to understand it, and one I remember fondly from my youth.  When I rewatched it a few weeks ago (after having not seen it for ~ well, since 1979!), I wondered if I would leave the couch wondering what it was I had found so touching, memorable and "swoon-worthy" so many years ago as a teen.  It's happened before; however when it was over, I remembered exactly why it touched me, and still does.  No matter how old you are, this movie makes you remember why your first love is the one you'll never forget ~ and one you'll never quite get over. \n\nThe happy ending of this warm and wonderful movie is what inspired so many young girls that true love would come around ~ SOONER OR LATER!\n\nYou can also go here for more info on it!\n\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079935/

I really loved Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown - it was my first Almodovar film.\n\nI remember I laughed my head off, there was never a dull moment, and I loved all the zany characters.

Yeah, The Hills Have Eyes is a great movie.  One of the few new, good horror movies to come out in a while.  It has all the gore, freaky faces, and pop-out scares that a horror movie calls for.  Plus, I love the fact that I (along with so many others) didn't find this movie to be predictable, meaning it was hard to guess who was gonna die and in what order.

The movie came out in pre-1975. I've only seen it once (I was probably 15 or 16 then so I can't give a opinon) However I plan on getting a copy sometime. It's a post nuclear movie,and the wedding consumating scene was great! Buy a good movie book and it will show you dates, year,director, rating, and everything you need. It is better than typing.(Reading that is!)  Dude says look it up and check it out man! Peace.

My favorite Horror movie has got to be "Salem's Lot"  (the original one). This one is my favorite because it was the first "Scary" movie that my sister and I ever watched.  To this day whenever me and my sister watch this movie (we are now in our 30's and live on different sides of the world) we both call each other so we can watch it at the same time.  We call each other periodically throughout the movie and when we go to bed there seems to be a tree or it seem to be very windy and things hit up against our windows and scares the crap out of us, so we end up calling each other in the middle of the night laughing.  So I guess I like the particular movie because it keeps me and my sister in touch, and the fact that my kids think that the film is ancient and out of date and boring, they stay up to watch it with me.  Gotta love Stephen King.

I saw this film in the 70s when I had 2 babies it scared me shitless then and just thinking of it now scares me ,it honestly ruined my life in away as there was trouble in the middle east then .I dont know about the cyanide pill,but I suppose they would have to do something like that.

I dont agree with a lot of Blondie's movies being scary....but thats just an opinion.\n\nOld School scares:  Psycho (1960) The Birds (1963) Rosemary's Baby (1969) The Omen (1976)  \n[i'm looking forward to the remake of the omen that is coming out on 6-6-06.  hopefully they dont screw it up like lots of others]\n\nNew School scares: Jurassic Park (1993)[Come on- the first time you saw it you know it made you jump!]  The Others (2001) Dead Alive (aka Braindead) (1992)  Se7en (1995) [scary cause it is semi-realistic that someone can do something like this]  \n\nAsian Horror Favorite-  Everyone recommends Ringu and Ju-On because they are the asian versions of the American remakes, but they have only gained notoriety for that fact and there are way better Asian horror films.  I think the best asian horror film I have seen in a long time is called "A Tale of Two Sisters"  Great movie, and much more suspenseful than Ringu, Ju-On or the asian Dark Water.\n\nUnfortunatly there are many better old school horror movies.  I think horror has dropped off since the late 70's early 80's.  everything today is done with gore and trys more for shock value than actual scares.  Movies like Saw and Hostel weren't scary in the same way the classiscs like Psycho and Halloween are scary.  I mean I dont fear being chained in a basement or being tortured on vacation but I do fear people hiding in closets, stalking me, or haunting me.  Times have changed......
