I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE is one of those films that I remember trying to sneak past the clerk at the video rental counter when I was 12 or 13. I would get the same look as he would take it out of my stack and mumble something about having to be 18. The cover art and explicit warnings had me and my friends excited to see what was going on in this film. (additional commentary below)
Ronin Flix is pleased to memorialize one of the most groundbreaking feature films of all time with a new I Spit on Your Grave (1978) Limited Edition 4K UHD 3 Disc Set October 26.
Available for pre-order exclusively at www.Roninflix.com
In 1978, one film changed the face of cinema forever. Now, 43 years later, the original and notorious I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (aka Day of the Woman) is back and still refusing to be buried! In this new limited edition 4K UHD 3 disc set, you can re-experience the phenomenon that shocked and divided the world – and influenced an entire genre and generation of filmmakers – in Ultra High Definition. Featuring a brand new 2021 4K HDR Remaster done by Ronin Flix on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, the 2020 4K scan and restoration of director Meir Zarchi’s uncut 35mm original camera negative and restored original mono soundtrack on Blu-ray, a bonus Blu-ray including the feature length documentary Growing up with I Spit on Your Grave (2019) and all of the historical Ronin Flix special features, this landmark 4K Ultra HD set belongs in every cinephiles collection.
(continued) This remarkable collectors edition had everything a cult fan would desire. As you can see above it has features, remastered imagery and sound, and a display worthy cover! I had forgotten many of the scenes in this one – our brain does protect us at times – and as an adult I am sort of glad that clerk kept it out of my teenaged hands. There has never been a revenge film like it and it certainly stands the test of time.
My favorite part of this entire set is the “Growing up with I Spit on Your Grave” feature. This is a fantastic behind the scenes look at the making of the film with interviews with the cast members now. These are 60 year old guys reliving the scenes and action. The talk about how they got the role and what it took to create those iconic scenes. For a film of this content it is often humorous now to hear them chat about it. It is certainly a must watch for not only fans of the film but those interested in filmmaking as a whole.
There is no doubt that this film is not for everyone. But those who are drawn to the genre and this type of film are already in line this Holiday season to grab a copy!
