There is a part 2 called "I Spit on your Corpse, I Piss on your Grave" in which I haven't bothered to watch
Well you should, despite that (or maybe because) this has nothing to do with Zarchi's film except for the derived title.

Eric Stanze's films released under the Sub Rosa Extreme label are very interesting - I Spit on Your Corpse, I Piss on Your Grave is rather more gratuitous and outright exploitive than his earlier, awesome, Scrapbook, but there's plenty to keep you occupied here including shit-eating and a startling genuine broom-handle-masturbation scene.

Star Emily Haack looks as hard as nails.

The broom handle scene is great, and she is very good. But the film is almost ruined by awful (and I mean AWFUL) padding to make it to feature length (something the director was forced to do).
Endless shots of trees and sky and walls and ground.
And the shit in the shit eating looks nothing like shit at all which takes away from the sequence.

The film still comes up short in terms of running time, so perhaps without the padding this would have been better released as a "mid" duration film - say 45-55 minutes.

I remember the "shit" appeared rather chocolate pudding-ish, which indeed dampened the revulsion one should experience with such scenes - try watching Pink Flamingos for how it's really done!

The interviews and snippets in the DVD extras are interesting (the "dumpster" incident tells how the crew had to explain away various suspect gore props to the authorities).

I heard a ton about this movie when I first started coming here, so I bought it (on VHS) before ever seeing it.

I consider it very good and very bad at the same time. It was already mentioned that the small details make it almost intellectual, but not enough for me. I've only watched it once, but Im actually going to go watch it again right now to get a better perspective on it.

A classic piece of exploitation, cheesy and nasty at the same time … The extended rape scene can get a bit much and is a little dodgy in that it plays a little as voyeurism, but still not enough to be deliberatly erotic in my opinion, just questionable. I guess it depends on the type of individual watching … you really start to think for god sake leave her alone. The bath scene always makes me wince for some reason the line about not being able to stop the bleeding gets me every time.

Has anyone had a chance to see any of the
Angel Guts series yet?

I misguidedly bought this in a HEAVILY cut UK version - from HMV of all places - anyhoo, saw it, was disgruntled at the horrendous editting and tried to sell it on ebay.

The item was reported almost immediatley and ebay withdrew the auction, I appealed to them that it was a commercially available release from a high st store with a BBFC certificate but they still refused to let me list it (even tho they have the title in their quick listy thing which gives a synopsis and a cover shot - apparently this sources from ebay.com and doesnt relate to UK sales).

V annoyed, but will source from the US.

Just don't tell Customs.

Or do... damn it, which way round gets you a lesser fine/prison sentence/dawn raid again?

Hehehe, I'm a cop....

With a rep round the station for being a pornmonger now!

I spit on your grave
 
Bought it,
Saw it.

Enjoyed it.

(I couldnt sit and truly give all my attention to the flick, but i had it on while surfing the web - i caught most of it)

Besides the bathtub scene, and the never ending rape scenes.....the movie wasnt anything too dark and and gruesume.

Although I can definitly see why this is considered "notorious"to most.

Glad i added that to my collection.
