Rating: 4.0
(nearly) all the spit you'll ever need!
i won't review the actual film I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE here because so many others have done a great job. what i'll do instead is rate the "millenium edition" disc itself because, after all, the only people buying it will be those who truly understand what an incredible piece of work this film is. feminist horror! who'd have ever thought it?*Commentary by writer/director Meir Zachi...finally we get to hear from the man who started all the controversy. he has a thick accent and it's hard to understand him at times, but you really feel bad for the guy. this movie got slammed so hard by critics that theater chains pulled it from their screens! he only directed one other movie. poor guy, so talented. critics are the worst.*Commentary by Featuring Cult Film Guru Joe Bob Briggs...the #1 reason to buy this disc! joe bob rules, this is up there with the best commentary tracks ever done. not only does he keep the discussion lively and informative, he balances it between joking about what's onscreen and giving numerous facts about the film. he proves that his knowledge of cult film (and film in general) is expansive, and his appreciation for this movie runs deep. every movie needs a joe bob commentary track if you ask me. well worth the $$$ just for this feature alone.*Theatrical trailer(s), TV Spots...lots of these, and there's radio commercials too. cool.*Animated Menu Screens...all incredible, just like the EVIL DEAD collectors edition. the scene index also has clips from each scene so you really know what's what.*Still Photo Gallery...this is actually an easter egg, it's not labeled on the menu screens. to access it, go to the main menu and press up till the word GRAVE is highlighted in yellow. hit OK and you'll see some neato stills.*Reviews...great stuff, allows you to read the scathingly awful reviews the film got from some really famous critics. joe bob references these reviews several times in his commentary.*Interviews...there are none. i'd have given this disc 5 stars if it had interviews like the LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT disc has (cast reunion, director) none here.*Foreign and Domestic Art...you can scroll through and look at video and dvd box art from around the world. in the menu screen it says you can look at posters for the film, but none are included.*Full-screen and widescreen letterbox formats...widescreen only (that's fine. full screen has no place being on any dvd release of anything ever).picture and sound are exceptional too, i should add. this disc is definitely worth getting.
