\"\"<\/a>Meir Zarchi\u2019s revenge rape thriller is a movie that continues to inspire immense bile from movie critics and movie buffs since its release in 1978. Much like its contemporary \u201cCannibal Holocaust,\u201d Zarchi horror movie is deeply upsetting and requires the viewer to endure it in a certain state of mind. It\u2019s a film you\u2019ll either love or despise, and it gets a very good treatment from Roninflix who brings it home to fans like yours truly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 1978 rape revenge thriller is a violent tirade in sexual violence as Camille Keaton plays the gorgeous Jennifer Hill. The tall statuesque brunette is an author who goes away to a cabin to work on her book. While there, she\u2019s terrorized by a trio of local men who proceed to gang rape and horrendously dehumanize her. The more she tries to evade them, the more relentless they become in inflicting horrible violence on her. Years later after surviving the crime, she returns to the vacation spot and sets out to inflict revenge on the men that took everything from her.<\/p>\n

Camille Keaton\u2019s performance is bold and daring, offering a glimpse in to an absolutely beautiful woman who is inexplicably tortured and punished three truly perverse monsters. Zarchi doesn\u2019t hold much mercy toward Jennifer, as much of the mid section of the movie involves Jennifer\u2019s attempts to evade her attackers, only to get violated again and again. Zarchi\u2019s love for realism is what makes \u201cI Spit on Your Grave\u201d most compelling, as he ensures every single moment of Jennifer\u2019s torture is felt by the audience. Included is \u201cI Spit on Your Grave: D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu,\u201d the official follow up and sequel to Meir Zarchi, who returns with Camille Keaton to explore the fall out of Jennifer Hill\u2019s revenge.<\/p>\n

Years after murdering the men that violated her, Jennifer and her daughter Christy are kidnapped by the victims\u2019 families and forced to fight for their survival. This legacy sequel reunites the remaining cast of the original film to close up Hill\u2019s narrative. Finally 2019\u2019s rare (and only) documentary about the 1978 original film, \u201cGrowing Up with I Spit on Your Grave\u201d Terry Zarchi\u2019s film that examines his father\u2019s polarizing and controversial original that remains one of the most divisive movies ever made. Zarchi exhaustively analyzes the effect and legacy of his film. Not included are the trilogy spawned from the 2010 remake, but that\u2019s not much of a loss, when all is said and done.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Most of the bells and whistles on Ronin Flix\u2019s three-disc collector\u2019s edition have been ported over from prior releases of the film. This includes the two commentary tracks on the main disc, the one from director Meir Zarchi, who touches on everything from the film\u2019s themes to its on-location photography, and the other from cult-film critic and icon Joe Bob Briggs, who\u2019s enthusiasm and love for I Spit on Your Grave is absolutely undeniable. His opinions might alienate fans and viewers, but he offers refreshing insight.\u00a0 <\/span>The only new extra on this disc is a location featurette hosted by former Fangoria editor-in-chief Michael Gingold, that offers a rather glimpse of what the film\u2019s New York and Connecticut locations look like now.<\/p>\n

The Value of Vengeance \u2013 Meir Zarchi Remembers I Spit on Your Grave explores Zarchi\u2019s remembrance shooting the film, there\u2019s the Alternate Day of the Woman Opening Title, original Theatrical Trailers, various TV & Radio Spots, a Still Gallery and a brand new Slideshow with Rare & Behind-the-Scenes Photos from the Set.
