History YMMV / ISpitOnYourGrave

* NightmareFuel: The rape scene in the original, and the rapists' death scenes in the remake. Especially [[spoiler:Storch and Matthew's]].

* CatharsisFactor: The reason the original film exists. The director wanted to make a film that empowered rape victims through Jennifer's rampage. It's up to the viewer whether he succeeded.

* NightmareFuel: The rapists' death scenes in the remake. Especially [[spoiler:Storch and Matthew's]].

* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler:The rapists' death scenes in the remake.]]

* HellIsThatNoise: The harmonica tune.

* BileFascination: David Churchill argues that [[http://www.criticsatlarge.ca/2011/03/when-criticism-backfires-i-spit-on-your.html the remake never would have happened if Ebert's infamous review of the first film hadn't made it legendary]].

* HellIsThatNoise: The harmonica tune.
* UnfortunateImplications: CriticalDave points out in [[http://daveandhiscriticisms.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/war-of-the-remake-i-spit-on-your-graves-part-one/ a comparison of the original and the remake]] that the remake's ''lack'' of time spent dealing with Jennifer's rape made the film even more misogynistic (since it all but begs you to sympathise with ''the rapists'' instead of their victim).
** No, it really doesn't.

* AcceptableTargets: Rapists generally don't get considered as "unacceptable targets", but ''I Spit on Your Grave'' makes full use of this trope.

* AcceptableTargets : Rapists. The end. Period.
* AlasPoorVillain: Matthew.
* CompleteMonster: The rapists, except Matthew.
* UnfortunateImplications: CriticalDave points out in [[http://daveandhiscriticisms.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/war-of-the-remake-i-spit-on-your-graves-part-one/ this]] comparison of the original and remake that the latter film's ''lack'' of time spent dealing with Jennifer's rape actually made the film even more misogynistic, as it asks you to sympathise with the rapists.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: In spades.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: In spades.

* Alas,PoorVillain: Matthew.

* CompleteMonster: What the rapists were and what Jennifer arguably became.

* CompleteMonster -It's really hard to feel any some sort of sympathy for the four villains after they spent forty-five minutes gang-raping a defenseless woman. Oh yeah, they further add insult to injury by destroying her novel, which she spent so much time and effort on.

* AcceptableTargets : If this film has a message, it's probably this: "Upper-middle class, well educated urban people are to be sympathised with and trusted whole-heartedly, while poor rural people should be treated with suspicion and fear. If they had any sense or human worth, they'd get an education and leave the boonies, right?" The rural poor characters are monsters while the upper middle class urban woman is portrayed in a sympathetic way. If the four rapists were members of certain other disenfranchised groups ( for example, if they were African American), there would have been massive outcry. As it is, reviewers always always throw around words like "hick" and "hillbilly" and almost never think to mention the UnfortunateImplications of a movie that demonizes an entire social group, based upon their cultural upbringing and access to resources. How's that for an acceptable target?
** "But no jury in America would ever convict her..." Damn straight!! She's an attractive upper-middle class woman between the ages of eighteen to thirty five, while her victims (and aggressors) are uneducated, rural and poor. One of them even has a mental handicap. Of course, [[AssholeVictim they did do something terrible]], but the chances of them affording a decent defense lawyer would be pretty slim and the jury would likely be automatically biased in favour of Jennifer. The whole movie could be read as a testiment to the sense of self-entitlement within one specific socio-cultural grouping in American society.
** Alternately, [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation it could be a film about a woman who is raped and then takes revenge on the men who did it.]] Of course, that probably can't be padded out to fill a paragraph without mentioning all the subliminal class-and-gender warfare messages genius-ly snuck into a deep movie like this one. For instance, gleaning a message about "upper-middle class, well educated urban ''people''" would probably require more than one of those to be in the movie.
** Yes, [[SarcasmMode those poor rapists really are treated unfairly.]]
** Also, rapists are AcceptableTargets, but it would take a nasty bleeding heart to feel sorry for them rather than the woman they brutally gang-rape.

* [[{{DarthWiki/Ptitlew9bltta3dv6n}} So Bad It's Horrible]]: RogerEbert gave films a rare rating of zero stars. Video Hound's Movie Retriever give both a rating of "Woof!" which is given to movies that are ether so bad their good, or the absolute bottom of the barrel.
