i was suprised at how non-exploitive the movie actually was.
The rapes weren't exploitive .. the camera didnt linger on her body.
She was never allowed to look sexy or attractive until she was in control.
The acting was pretty decent for a bunch of people who never did anything else before or since.
The revenge scenes were the only exploitive part of the movie ..
I think it was the idiots in the audiences that gave this film a bad name. Every time you go to a horror film there is always a few posturing adolescent boys yelling stupid shit at the screen ..
Like when a girl is being killed or raped they yell shit to show their bravado .. their little shock value garbage ..
i think this happened a lot when ISOYG was in the theatres .. and it got a bad name in part for the audience bullshit ..

Yeah, Ebert mentioned it in his review of the movie
