I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (1978)
Summerization: A female writer goes on a woodland vacation and gets raped for about an hour of screen time. Then she gets her fucking revenge.
Why It's Awesome: Yes, I went there. Rape/revenge. Believe it or not, this movie is awesome. Let's start with a quote from famed and respected drive in movie critic, Joe Bob Briggs: "Is this the most anti-woman movie ever made, like it's critics say; or, is it the most feminist movie ever made?" The girl gets raped repeatedly by backwoods subhumans. Not awesome. But when she mans--or WOmans--up...hooboy, does she ever. Bathtub castration, death by asphyxiation, axe use and castration with an outboard motor (yup). Her revenge is sweet indeed.
Quote: Nothing comes to mind. There's lots of screaming though.
Best Time To Watch: Well, by yourself, on a particularly nice day. If you've got awesome friends who enjoy cult, exploitative, controversial cinema, they might check it out. But good luck. This bitch is a tough sell to those not in the know. Also, I recommend watching this with audio commentary from Joe Bob himself. Otherwise it's pretty goddamn hard and awkward to get through.
Quality: 10 for 10 castrations.
