For the first official week of horror and sci-fi home media releases in the month of April, we don’t have a ton of titles coming out, but the ones that are being released on April 5th are a pretty damn good bunch of movies all the same. Probably the biggest movie arriving on multiple formats this Tuesday is Scream (2022) from the Radio Silence crew, so if you missed it in theaters, now is the perfect opportunity to be able to catch up with everything that happened in Woodsboro.
Other Blu-ray and DVD releases for April 5th include a 4K edition of I Spit on Your Grave (1978), The Long Night, Vicious Fun, The Ice Demon, a 2-Movie Scream collection, and 60 Seconds to Live!

The son of the director of the notorious rape-revenge thriller attempts to open a discussion over a film that has both its detractors and admirers
The infamous 1978 exploitation-revenge flick I Spit on Your Grave – one-time “video nasty” and chosen by critic Roger Ebert as his all-time worst film – now gets a lengthy retrospective and reappraisal here courtesy of its director Meir Zarchi’s son, Terry. Perhaps the current febrile atmosphere – split between rampant online misogyny and strident #MeToo calls – is the right moment.
Zarchi Sr is nonplussed in being asked to justify the 30 minutes of gang rape; he describes his film, with its second-half procession of wince-making retribution slayings, as simply “biblical – an eye for an eye”. Whether Terry Zarchi is persistent, or sophisticated enough, in questioning that belief is another thing.

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.

When the original 1978 film was banned in the UK upon release, notorious revenge movie I Spit on Your Grave helped launch the “video nasty” craze of the 1980’s and inspired a generation of genre directors through its provocative, no-holds-barred filmmaking. 32 years later, a bold and shocking remake reignited the franchise and spawned a series of sequels which pushed the envelope even further.
Available in the UK as a complete set for the first time, the I Spit on Your Grave: The Complete Collection contains the previously banned, X-rated original I Spit on Your Grave (though distributors Kaleidoscope haven’t mentioned if this release will be uncut or not), the infamous 2010 I Spit on Your Grave remake, powerful sequels I Spit on Your Grave 2, and I Spit on Your Grave: Vengeance is Mine, plus the final chapter in the franchise, new UK release I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu,...

Is it too late to spit again? Fans of the original 1978 cult classic I Spit On Your Grave (review) have been eagerly hoping for a bloody sequel for 37 years. Now their wishes have been answered, but has it been to long of a wait for this sequel?
I certainly don't think so, and I welcome it! Especially since Camille Keaton will reunite with director Meir Zarchi to reprise her role of Jennifer Hills in the direct sequel, I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu.
I'm personally stoked for this new chapter, and am especially looking forward to seeing the character Jennifer Hills again, joined by her daughter Christy Hills (Jamie Bernadette) as well as a variety of new characters, including actress Maria Olsen who plays the role of Johnny’s wife, the gas station attendant that Jennifer castrated.

After being followed up by an indirect sequel and then finding its head on the remake chopping block, the original I Spit on Your Grave is going to be the next horror film to receive the retrospective documentary treatment. Read on for details!
Released in 1978, I Spit on Your Grave is of course one of the most talked about and controversial horror movies of all time, centering around the brutal rape of young writer Jennifer Hills, who exacts ample doses of bloody revenge on her attackers.
