No pun intended - if you have seen the movie (and I assume you have, so no warning necessary as far as I am concerned), you will know what I am talking about. All the main players talk about the making of the movie ... and how they have lived since. The movie is infamous for a reason ... or two. And if you are sensible, you probably should not watch it. The movie goes to the beginning ... and yes the very first question many of us have anyway: Why? Is there a reason someone would want to make a movie like this? And you get a satisfying answer.

It has to do with an incident the director had with his family. Having that as a backstory, may make you more ... well you may view the movie through a different perspective. Everyone involved wanted to do their best and of course they only depicted something that unfortunately does happen - not the revenge part (as much I assume), but the sexual assault part.

So putting a spotlight on that may have been a good things to do ... or at least it had good intentions to begin with. This really goes in depth and is not afraid to ask tough questions too. So while I may not be a fan of the movie itself, I do like the documentary itself! The people behind it - as one who has seen actors from the horror genre know best, are as sweet as you can imagine. Maybe this will change your mind about the movie ... I doubt it will do anything about the bad sequel to the original ... not the sequels to the remakes mind you ... it's getting complicated again ... anyway, violence is never the answer ... I think is the message here.

Growing Up with I Spit on Your Grave (2019) is a documentary currently available on Tubi. The storyline follows the director, producer and key members of the cast who created I Spit on your Grave. They share the challenges they had putting the movie together, getting it released, the initial reviews and how it became a staple in horror history.

This movie is directed by Terry Zarchi (Holy Hollywood) and contains Camille Keaton (What Have You Done to Solange), Meir Zarchi (I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu), Gunter Kleemann, Eron Tabor (Candy Stripe Nurses) and Nuri Habib (Without Home).

As a fan of this picture since I was a kid, the narration and storytelling was fascinating, especially the details about how scenes were created, the realism, the characters feelings as they were making it and looking back. The Siskel and Ebert take on the movie was interesting, as was how VHS ? played a key part in the films success. They even did a good job sprinkling in the Demi Moore aspect and how the cast evolved post movie and feel about the film today. There's a lot of fun nuggets in here. I also liked the son of the original director made this.

Overall, this is a must see for horror genre fans. I would score this a solid 7.5-8/10 and strongly recommend it.
