Derivitive works

The first film was followed by a slew of imitators and unofficial followups, including the unofficial remakes Turkish I Spit on Your Grave from 1979 and 1985's Naked Vengeance. Naked Vengeance film inspired the name of the unofficial sequel to the original film named Savage Vengeance (also called I Will Dance On Your Grave: Savage Vengeance) which starred Keaton once again as a woman named Jennifer. Other derivatives include the spoof I Spit Chew On Your Grave (2008) and the German I Piss on Your Cadaver (1999).[2]
