Young woman is raped by a group of men while on vacation. She slowly pulls herself together and seeks out brutal, violent revenge on her attackers.
Infamous film that was infamously bashed by Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel and rightfully so. A curio for some due to the film's reputation, but why bother? It's offensive in its treatment of women.

Jennifer Hills (Camille Keaton) travels from the big city to an isolated cabin in the country. She.s going to work on her novel in the secluded location. She asks for directions from gas station manager Johnny (Eron Tabor) and is eyed by Stanley (Anthony Nichols) and Andy (Gunter Kleemann) who hang out at the station.

We are very giddy this week because a couple of titles that are near and dear to our hearts will be available for you folks to take home.
While we had gone on ad nauseam about the spectacular second Paranormal Activity demonic home invasion film, you can now watch it in your own house over and over again. Your home surveillance camera videos may never be the same again! We are also treated to not one, but both I Spit on Your Graves - the original from the 1970s and the new remake of a gritty film which may be disturbing to some but nonetheless empowering.
The other titles released this week from our genre may not be as beloved, but they are worth mentioning for the completists out there. Maybe they make better sense when viewed in the safety of one's home.
