8/10
There's a lot of fun nuggets in 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.
