Amazingly, I?ve never seen any of the Blood Island films, though I remember reading about them in the likes of Monster Mag and Dennis Gifford?s book. I can?t decide if they?re going to be really schlocky enjoyable, or a load of shite.  |

The single releases are $30 each so a box set would be quite pricey, but I reckon more cost effective. I believe that Faster Pussycat has been heavily rumoured to be in restoration/production already. I imagine that one will get some fanfare and probably a more special release.

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." Disc 1: BUTTERFLY KISS (1994) "In his "breathtakingly original" (Variety) debut feature, writer / director Michael Winterbottom (24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE, THE KILLER INSIDE ME) shocked audiences with the startling drama The New York Times called "a twisted British answer to THELMA & LOUISE": Amanda Plummer (PULP FICTION) delivers "a brave performance that sears itself permanently into the viewer's consciousness" (Austin Chronicle) as a disturbed drifter whose seduction of a lonely convenience store clerk (an equally daring Saskia Reeves of Slow Horses) triggers a cross-country odyssey of obsession, madness and murder. Ricky Tomlinson (RIFF-RAFF) co-stars in this "provocative masterpiece" (The Advocate) co-written by 2x BAFTA nominee Frank Cottrell-Boyce (WELCOME TO SARAJEVO) and featuring cinematography by 2x Oscar nominee Seamus McGarvey (ATONEMENT), now scanned in 2K from the original camera negative by The British Film Institute and approved by Winterbottom and McGarvey."
