I Spit on Your Grave gets collector’s box set with sequel and documentary

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

For thirty-two years, writer/director Meir Zarchi's 1978 film I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE stood alone as one of the most controversial movies ever made. Viewers were split on it – was it a worthwhile revenge thriller, or was it just reprehensible trash? In 2010, I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE unexpectedly became a franchise with the release of a remake that spawned two sequels. (The trailer for one of the sequels is embedded above.) Then in 2019, Zarchi returned to the property to write and direct a sequel to the original film, I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE: DEJA VU, while his son Terry Zarchi, who appeared in the '78 film when he was a child, put together a documentary called GROWING UP WITH I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE.

Now Ronin Flix are bringing half of the franchise to Blu-ray with a 3 Disc Collector's Edition Box Set that will contain the original I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE: DEJA VU, and GROWING UP WITH I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE.

I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE BLU-RAY BOX SET (3 DISC SET) (2020):

In 1978, one film changed the face of cinema forever: I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE. Camille Keaton stars as Jennifer Hills, a young and beautiful career woman who rents a back-woods cabin to write her first novel. Attacked by a group of local lowlifes and left for dead, she devises a horrific plan to inflict revenge in some of the most unforgettable scenes on film.

42 years later, the sequel, I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE: DEJA VU, sends successful writer Jennifer Hills (Camille Keaton) back to where it all began to face the wrath of the families of those she left for dead. Kidnapped along with her daughter Christy (Jamie Bernadette), it’s a tense game of hunt or be hunted against a ruthless gang of degenerates overseen by a violently unhinged matriarch Becky (Maria Olsen).

Additionally, this box set includes, GROWING UP WITH I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, an exhaustive analysis of the film's history directed by Meir Zarchi's son, Terry Zarchi. Available on Blu-ray for the first time in North America, this feature length documentary is what every I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE fan has been waiting for!
