Yes, it really is horrible
"I Spit on Your Grave" is a film that has been the subject of far too many people's attention, and mostly for the wrong reasons. They either loathe it, or rabidly defend its "artistry". Well, it certainly has little to recommend it, unless you enjoy watching a naked woman being raped, degarded and humiliated for almost a whole hour. Still interested? The films standpoint as a "revenge" film gets a little lost after devoting this much time to the rape spectacle, and with convincing acting by Camille Keaton, it is a harrowing experience for the viewer. But the revenge? A brief bit of knife waving over a bubble bath, and all the male movie reviewers are screaming and clutching themselves. Get real! The male victims in this sleaze-orama are not even good enough actors for you to care about their fates. At least the outdoor scenery looks lush and beautiful, but all other aspects of the film are ugly and depressing. Worth watching for curiosity value, but it's unlikely to merit a second viewing.
