Savage Vengeance is a 1993 American slasher-rape and revenge film directed by Donald Farmer and the unofficial sequel to the controversial 1978 film I Spit on Your Grave, starring Camille Keaton, under the alias "Vickie Kehl", as Jennifer Hills.[1] No scenes from the first film were used, and instead new footage was used for flashbacks scenes, ostensibly because of legal rights issues.

Production

The film was supposedly shot in 1988, but not released until 1993, this explains the somewhat dated look to the film and sound of its score. Not much is known about how the film came about, but it is well known[by whom?] that the production was a troubled affair. The film was shot on video with an extremely low budget.[citation needed]

The film's star, Camille Keaton, refuses to speak of the film or its production. Her reasons for this haven't been made clear, but it has been rumored[by whom?] that she left the set before the end of the production, hence the film's abrupt end. Her only reference to appearing in the film came at a horror convention in 2005, when asked by a fan to explain her involvement in the movie, she replied: "I'm sorry, I can't speak about that."[citation needed]

Rumors indicate that the film was shot as a sequel to I Spit on Your Grave without legal rights and this led to legal trouble for five years. Director of I Spit on Your Grave Meir Zarchi allegedly sued Farmer, and the result was that the character of Jennifer's last name was removed from the film (when another character said her last name, it was dubbed over or removed sloppily).

The film was altered taking out any references to the original film, re-edited and then finally released quietly in 1993 as Savage Vengeance. Director Donald Farmer still denies these claims but some people speculate he is legally unable to talk about it.

During an audio interview for DVD Monthly in 2005, Zarchi spoke about the film and Camille Keaton's involvement. He told of Keaton calling him in tears, explaining she had walked off set and apologized to him for getting involved with the film. He recalled Keaton calling him from "somewhere in the mid-west", giving an idea of where the movie was shot.[2]

The audio interview with Zarchi is included as a special feature on the 2005 Millennium Edition DVD of I Spit on Your Grave.[3] Zarchi maintains he has never seen the film.

Although the film was marketed in some territories as the sequel to I Spit on Your Grave, it is commonly thought that this was the initial idea and not only came about to capitalize on Keaton's involvement in the production.[4]

Release

A region-free DVD was released on October 31, 2000.[5] Alternative titles include I Spit on Your Grave 2: Savage Vengeance, I Will Dance on Your Grave: Savage Vengeance and Return to the Grave.

In 2013 a special edition DVD was released by Massacre Video, including a rare interview with actress Camille Keaton.
