Director/Co-writer John D. Hancock will join us for a special extended virtual introduction. 

“One of the most subtle masterpieces of ‘70s genre cinema.”
—Kier-La Janisse

Recently released from a psychiatric facility, a woman moves to a remote farmhouse in hopes of a new life but soon begins to experience strange happenings. Could it be the country air, or is Jessica losing her mind? This Paper Cuts selection is paired with a new and expanded edition of House of Psychotic Women, an autobiographical exploration of female neurosis in horror and exploitation films by Kier-la Janisse, featuring a post-film conversation with A Woman of Taste programmer Jenny McKewon and Alienated Majesty’s own C. Rees.

Featuring a post-film discussion and a pop-up shop on Saturday, March 1. House of Psychotic Women is available for purchase at Alienated Majesty Books, in-person or online here.
