Stars: Camille Keaton, Jamie Bernadette, Maria Olsen, Jim Tavaré, Jonathan Peacy, Jeremy Ferdman, Holgie Forrester, Roy Allen III, Alexandra Kenworthy, Terry Zarchi, Tammy Zarchi | Written and Directed by Meir Zarchi
It’s not hard to underestimate how much of an impact the original I Spit on Your Grave film had on the genre – mainly thanks to the controversial way the film was marketed back in the late 70s/early 80s and its subsequent banning across several territories. Yet despite all the furore around the film, it never spawned a sequel – after all that was not de rigueur back then, especially with indie productions – but it did inspire the film Savage Vengeance, from cult director Donald Farmer: an unofficial sequel that starred actress Camille Keaton, under a pseudonym, playing yet another “Jennifer” without ever explicitly stating is was a follow-up to Zarchi’s original.

I Spit On Your Grave director Meir Zarchi discusses his cult classic, the title change, his sequel idea and more
In 1978, writer-director Meir Zarchi released a movie entitled Day of the Woman, which was largely dismissed by critics. A few years later, it was re-released under the new title I Spit on Your Grave, and while it still didn't score any points with critics, it became a controversial movie that grew into a cult classic, which it still is to this day. I Spit on Your Grave was just released in brand new editions on Blu-ray and DVD on February 8 and I recently had the privilege of speaking with director Meir Zarchi on the phone about his experiences on this project. Here's what he had to say below.
When I watched the original again, I could be way off base here, but it almost seemed that Matthew was a Woody Allen knock-off character.
