Zarchi's first professional film credit came from providing the story for the 1962 Israeli drama Nini.
Zarchi first film effort as a director was I Spit on Your Grave a.k.a. Day of the Woman (1978), which starred Camille Keaton, whom he married the following year. The story of a woman seeking violent revenge on the men who raped her, Grave was considered controversial and the time of its release and suffered censorship in various countries. In 2010, Zarchi executive produced the remake of I Spit on Your Grave and the remake's subsequent sequels I Spit on Your Grave 2 (2013) and I Spit on Your Grave III: Vengeance is Mine (2015).

He acted as the Executive Producer for the movie “Holy Hollywood”, a comedy-drama about wannabe actors, starring Mickey Rooney. "Holy Hollywood" was written and directed by Meir’s son, Terry Zarchi, who also made a documentary called, “Growing Up With I Spit On Your Grave”, planned for release in conjunction with the launching of the sequel in 2018.
