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.
