Producer/curator Kier-La Janisse presents a new quartet of international classics that explores startling depictions of female neurosis on screen.

RESTORED FROM ORIGINAL SOURCE ELEMENTS WITH 10+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES

In this second collection inspired by her “groundbreaking” (Screen Anarchy) book that “forever changed the landscape of film analysis” (Bloody Disgusting), producer/curator Kier-La Janisse presents a new quartet of international classics – along with nearly 11 combined hours of Special Features – that explores startling depictions of female neurosis on screen: Amanda Plummer gives a searing performance as a disturbed drifter on a cross-country killing spree in BUTTERFLY KISS, the breakthrough debut from director Michael Winterbottom. Legendary Czech actress Iva Janžurová portrays a pair of rival sisters in Juraj Herz’ crazed gothic melodrama MORGIANA. In Ben Maddow, Sidney Meyers and Joseph Strick’s ‘dramatized documentary’ THE SAVAGE EYE, Barbara Baxley stars as a bitter divorcee adrift in Los Angeles’ dark underbelly. And with the landmark Spanish thriller THE GLASS CEILING starring Carmen Sevilla, writer/director Eloy de la Iglesia crafts an unsettling story of paranoia, madness and murder. All 4 films in HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMEN RARITIES COLLECTION VOLUME 2 have been scanned from their original camera negatives and are presented on Blu-ray for the first time ever in North America.

4 Evil Eyes

In 2012 Kier-La Janisse published House of Psychotic Women, billed as “”an autobiographical topography of female neurosis in horror and exploitation films.”” It soon became one of the most “”vital”” (Tim Lucas, Video Watchdog) and “”astonishing”” (Daily Grindhouse) genre tomes of all time. To mark the book’s 10th anniversary, award-winning writer/programmer/filmmaker Janisse now presents four of the strongest and strangest explorations of onscreen delirium and hysteria, all on U.S. Blu-ray for the first time: Elizabeth Taylor stars in 1974’s Identikit as a woman who travels to Rome to find the most dangerous liaison. In the surreal 1986 Polish horror-comedy I Like Bats, a vampire discovers that love may be the cruelest curse of all. Florinda Bolkan stars in the startling 1975 amnesiac giallo Footprints from the director of The Fifth Cord. And British screenwriter and radical theatre icon Jane Arden directs 1972’s harrowing The Other Side Of The Underneath.

STARRING: Elizabeth Taylor, Andy Warhol, Klaus Kinski, Jane Arden, Jack Bond
