About the Film
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.

Press Quotes
A new feminist essential... As more 'Psychotic Women' films are released, our understanding of what Kier-La Janisse intended to accomplish when she popularized that phrase must expand to include new depictions of female madness in cinema.
-Paste Magazine
BUTTERFLY KISS: Eerily, powerfully effective... Plummer gives her most uninhibited screen performance to date. She draws a streak of white-hot rage across the screen.
-San Francisco Chronicle
BUTTERFLY KISS: Dark and unnerving... Winterbottom's debut film was a gunshot heard throughout the film world announcing the arrival of a striking new artist.
-Cine Outsider
MORGIANA: Like a melodrama on acid... An unusual and seductive hybrid of period drama and post-'60s experimentalism that gender-inverts Edgar Allan Poe.
-Cine Outsider
MORGIANA: A beautiful dreamscape of malice... A morbidly beautiful tale of murder, madness and repression, often labeled the Czech WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE.
-The Geek Show
THE SAVAGE EYE: Arresting and shocking... A labor of love as cold as a scalpel and a forceful display of cinematic pyrotechnics.
-The New York Times
THE SAVAGE EYE: Fascinating and uncompromising.
-Variety
THE GLASS CEILING: Eloy de la Iglesia knocks you out of your comfort zone... The fact that the writer/director doesn't play by the rules is part of the beauty of his work. Carmen Sevilla is outstanding.
-Bloody Pit of Horror
THE GLASS CEILING: De la Iglesia's breakthrough film... A landmark work that was a psychological knife-edge of its time, the traces of which are still visible in the history of Spanish cinema.
