Product: Day of the Woman (1978)
Rating: 3.0
Not as awful as I've constantly heard.
Camille Keaton is a pretty young writer from the city who spends the summer in the backwoods to write her first novel. As all genre fans know, four rednecks rape and leave her for dead, but she slowly recovers and plans her bloody revenge. One of the most infamous films of all time, I Spit on Your Grave features no less than three rape scenes and an almost non-stop barrage of full frontal female nudity, but it actually wants to take its subject matter seriously, and it does work to an extent, but peters out in its unbelievable and silly finale. Keaton is, however, superb as the victim who takes charge against her abusers. Only recommended to the very curious (and even then, you better have a STRONG stomach).** 1/2 out of *****
