Last night, I saw a movie that probably lived up (or down) to it's reputation. It was "I Spit on your Grave". It was shot back in the late 70's, and gained renown for the absolutely horrid reviews it got from Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. They got the movie pulled from the Chicago market. Which then only added to it's aura.

Maybe the shock value it held back in the late 70's has faded to today's world. I just didn't see what the big deal was. It was a very formulatic movie, nothing really too shocking or surprising. A movie I've heard this compared to is the original Tobe Hooper version of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". That movie was light years better than this movie. I think it is still trying to live off of 30 year old notoriety.
