Day of the Woman, also known as I Spit on Your Grave, is a 1978 horror film directed by Meir Zarchi. The film follows Jennifer Hills, a young and beautiful aspiring writer who travels to a small town in the countryside in search of quiet seclusion to finish her book.
After settling into her cabin, Jennifer is brutally attacked and gang-raped by a group of four men who live in the area. Left for dead, Jennifer manages to survive and is filled with a burning desire for revenge against her attackers.
In a chilling turn of events, Jennifer systematically tracks down each of the men who took part in her assault and proceeds to enact a gruesome and bloody vengeance upon them – one by one.
Day of the Woman is known for its graphic depictions of sexual violence and extreme violence, and has been a controversial film throughout its history. Despite this, it has gained a cult following and has been credited for breaking barriers in the horror genre, especially in terms of violence against women.
The film has been remade twice, with the most recent version released in 2010, and has been referenced in other films and TV shows such as Kill Bill and American Horror Story.
