About this deal

Sawyer experiences what Janisse herself has experienced: being admitted to a mental hospital your ID and phone are taken away.“It’s symbolic,” said Janisse. “You lose your identification and you’re put into this place where because you’re categorized as a mentally ill person, you don’t have any rights anymore. You’re not part of society, the things you say don’t matter.”

Antimatter Film Festival: Official Lineup". Underground Film Journal. 2010-10-04 . Retrieved 2021-06-19.People love this book. Why? It talks about life and art in an unusual, provocative way. Kier-La Janisse doesn’t kid around. For her, movies are a matter of life and death. House of Psychotic Women is an original, singular creation. Nothing like it existed before and certainly nothing since. Cherish this book, argue with it, throw it against the wall. But let it get under your skin... invade your bloodstream. It may change you.” In 2019 and 2020, Janisse appeared as a guest speaker on the AMC series Eli Roth's History of Horror. [28] House of Psychotic Women” levitates above the niche sub-genre of autobiography through cinema. Layers of knowledge, confession, and imagination mingle to produce a narrative that invites re-reading and re-interpretation. On one level, it is a memoir of personal trauma expressed through horror heroines everywhere from classic horror to giallo to exploitation to more arthouse fare like Robert Altman’s “Images.”Yet author Kier-La Janisse‘s book — intriguingly subtitled “An Autobiographical Topography of Female Neurosis in Horror and Exploitation Films”—reaches beyond both autobiography and cinema to conjure a space where collective female neurosis is a sane response to insane circumstances.

HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMEN – Kier-La Janisse

The film contains graphic scenes of gore and nudity, and was rated R in the U.S. under its slightly edited version titled House of Psychotic Women. House of Doom was the even more heavily edited version that was released direct to U.S. TV. While recuperating in a Confederate girls' boarding school, a Union soldier cons his way into each of the lonely women's hearts, causing them to turn on each other, and eventually, on him. To The Moon — An Interview With Actress Ida Galli runs twelve minutes and sees the actress better known as Evelyn Stewart discuss how she always loved seeing famous actors do cameos in films, how she wound up getting into acting, wanting to appear in as many films as possible regardless of genre, her thoughts on Footprints, how much energy Bolkan had while making the movie, thoughts on the lighting and the directing and how she feels about the movie and her work in in many years later. Bolkan is excellent in the lead. She looks great in the part and plays her role with an appropriate sense of confusion. We have no trouble accepting her as Alice, she’s a very good fit for the character. Nicolette Elmi and Peter McEnery are also very good. It’s also worth mentioning that Klaus Kinski has a small role as the astronaut in the Footprints On The Moon footage and Evelyn Steward has a brief supporting role in the film as a mysterious woman named Mary. Nicoletta Elmi: Italian Cinema's Imp Ascendent — Video Essay By Film Scholars Alexandra Heller-Nicholas And Craig MartinAfter the death of her parents, a young girl arrives at a convent and brings a sinister presence with her. Is it her enigmatic imaginary friend, Alucarda, who is to blame? Or is there a satanic force at work? A newly hired maid for a rich countryside family befriends a post-office clerk who encourages her to rebel against her employers.

The trimmed down feature version is likely going to be more palatable to most viewers, but it’s great to see both cuts included here.

Suffield, Trevor (2010-03-25). "Mar 2010: Horror film course promises to be a real scream". Winnipeg Free Press . Retrieved 2021-06-19. In a very unsurprising move, Severin Films and Kier-La Janisse have bestowed this release with a long list of newly produced and archival features to not only add context to the films being presented but further the conversation about these rarities to keep them alive. Of the many interviews, commentaries and other supplements included, I do want to call out a newly produced 68-minute interview with Vittorio Storaro that’s included with the Italian Cut of Footprints. This interview is truly exhaustive, showcasing just how much of a talented workman Storaro started his career as and just continued to grow from there. His agility in the Italian film industry made him a huge asset to many American filmmakers, yet the man knows how to tell a good story with the best of them. A six minute introduction By Kier-La Janisse (sporting an excellent Jamie Gillis shirt) starts the extras off. She offers up some welcome detail on Muriel Spark’s life and career as well as some thoughts on Elizabeth Taylor’s character and what she goes through in the film. A social worker, still reeling from the loss of her architect husband, investigates the eccentric, psychedelic Wadsworth Family, consisting of a mother, two daughters, and an adult son with the apparent mental capacity of an infant.

Janisse weaves her own life into an intensely personal exploration of the genre, challenging the reader to reconsider the films in all of their complexity. I devoured this compelling, surprising, and moving book." House of Psychotic Women is an autobiographical exploration of female neurosis in horror and exploitation films. Anecdotes and memories interweave with film history, criticism, trivia and confrontational imagery to create a reflective personal history and examination of female madness, both onscreen and off. A group of nuns struggle to establish a convent in the Himalayas, while isolation, extreme weather, altitude, and culture clashes all conspire to drive the well-intentioned missionaries mad.
