Sequel and Remakes
The film was followed by the unofficial sequel Savage Vengeance (however, the title card on the movie was misspelled as "Savage Vengance") (1993) in which Camille Keaton, (under the alias of Vickie Kehl for unknown reasons) reprises the role of Jennifer. However, no scenes from I Spit on Your Grave were used for the flashbacks. The film barely went for 65 minutes, and received extremely negative reviews from critics and fans alike due to major flaws in the film. Zarchi allegedly sued director Donald Farmer, which resulted in a "change" in the character Jennifer's name - instead of reshooting, they blanked the audio when an actor said her last name. Keaton allegedly walked out of filming, which gives somewhat of an explanation as to why the film ended so suddenly.
The film was unofficially remade in 1985 as Naked Vengeance, where Deborah Tranelli plays Carla Harris, who moves to her parents' house after he husband's death, and is then harassed, hounded, and raped by some of the town's "scum". Although this version is rather difficult to find as a DVD, VHS or Blu-ray, it received positive reviews from fans. It's been stated that the storyline is very similar to I Spit on Your Grave.
CineTel Films acquired rights to remake I Spit on Your Grave 2010, which had a Halloween 2010 worldwide theatrical release. The remake was produced by CineTel president and CEO Paul Hertzberg and Lisa Hansen, with Jeff Klein, Alan Ostroff, Gary Needle and Zarchi as executive producers. Steven R. Monroe directed, with newcomer Sarah Butler starring as Jennifer.

The male shower has flowed into the bride,
Earth’s body; then shifted through sky and sea and land
To touch the quickening child in her deep side.”
