7. I Spit on Your Grave
Remembered as one of the most hated movies ever made, I Spit on Your Grave had created considerably impressive upheaval both in 1978 and 2010; the 1978 version starred Cammille Keaton while the later version has Sarah Butler. The film has a typical and common theme of rape and revenge but with a more vivid and disturbingly realistic depiction; a lonely young woman rents a cabin in a nearly deserted neighbourhood and is spotted by a low profile gas station worker who later rapes her with his two friends and a police officer. Later on Jennifer (Sarah Butler) takes her revenge in an utterly horrific and detailed manner as she chopped, raped and tortured them to death. The film was condemned and banned on the grounds of extreme violence, nudity, obscene language and lengthy rape and torture illustration. It is disqualified on both professional and moral means as the critic remark that the movie has low quality sound and artistry with nothing exceptional rather than high and distorted sound. The remake of the movie received same negative comments as Roger Ebert states that the 2010 version is the ‘despicable remake of the despicable 1978 film’. The movie has lucid scenes of Jennifer’s rape, Jennifer’s anal raping of the sheriff with his rifle, cutting off of one of the boy’s penis and the killing of other boys, which came as a shock to the viewers.
