True, but some of the men she killed didn't do anything bad to her and possibly didn't do anything too bad at all, at least in the original "I Spit on Your Grave" (1978), the victimized woman there attacked and killed the men who violated her but in this case, not to mean to look too much into what is otherwise just a fictional movie, but the parents and relatives of those innocent men in this movie would probably still condemn her were they to find out she killed them.
But I guess its one of those factors that makes her a complex character and what makes this film so interesting and fascinating, but many people see murder (especially to those who are innocent) to be just as bad.

In that way, was the movie intended to be anti-vigilantism and even showed how sometimes seemingly justified acts of revenge can indeed go wrong, even if the original crime done against the victm IS indeed a worse deed and a more serious problem for the world?
Basically, is the movie saying that yes rape and sexual violence is a serious issue and obviously seriously wrong, but revenge and vigilantism isn't the answer EITHER? Especially as it shows that innocent people CAN end up getting killed in the process - and its not a happy and appropriate solution in the end?
I still consider this a great film and an exploitation classic, but do you think it HAS that type of message to it and something to say in (that sort of) way?
