Celebrating the 40th anniversary of one of the most controversial films ever made, Bloody Disgusting learned that the official sequel to Meir Zarchi’s 1978 cult classic I Spit on Your Grave (Day of the Woman) will be released next year.
In fact, we have your first ever look at I Spit on Your Grave Deja Vu, which boasts the return of Camille Keaton, who played Jennifer Hills in Zarchi’s original film!
The sequel picks up with Keaton’s Jennifer Hills as a best-selling author living in New York City with her famous model daughter, Christy Hills (Jamie Bernadette), who is pictured above.
Incensed that Jennifer Hills was vindicated of killing her four assailants from her brutal ordeal in I Spit On Your Grave, both mother and daughter are kidnapped by the revenge-seeking relatives. That is when the deja vu nightmare begins.
“Playing the daughter of Jennifer Hills was an incredible honor having been a fan of the original film long before my first audition for the sequel,” Bernadette tells Bloody Disgusting. “The role proved to be one of the most trying of my career but simultaneously, one of the most rewarding. I am grateful and humbled to be part of the I Spit on Your Grave legacy”.
Joining Keaton and Bernadette are Maria Olsen, Jim Tavare, Jonathan Peacy, Jeremy Ferdman, Holgie Forrester, Roy Allen and Alexandra Kenworthy – all playing the revenge-seeking relatives.
We’re told there’s no distributor yet. Anchor Bay had released the previous two entries.
Jan O’Connell and Terry Zarchi are producing with Meir once again directing.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
