My Chris Lee vol 2 set arrived last week.

Another excellent set.
Lee be it comedy,thriller or mystery is always watchable.

Watched Don Sharp's DARK PLACES so far.
I had never seen this before and it's really good.

You know Joan Collins really was one of the best British actresses of the seventies and eighties.

I was tempted also, but the comedies put me off. There are good comedies and there are bad comedies, and then there are Italian comedies...

Totally agree about Joan Collins, Reaper. She's always excellent. I think she became under appreciated thanks to being mega famous in American soaps in the 80's with fancy shoulder padded dresses and so on. It seemed she wasn't taken seriously.

(That Screenbound limited edition Stud / Bitch set is excellent by the way)

'House of Psychotic Women Rarities Collection' - 5-Disc Blu-ray Box Set PRE-ORDER available from Severin Films direct - $73:00

Release date: October 25

"In 2012 Kier-La Janisse published House of Psychotic Women, billed as “an autobiographical topography of female neurosis in horror and exploitation films.” It soon became one of the most “vital” (Tim Lucas, Video Watchdog) and “astonishing” (Daily Grindhouse) genre tomes of all time. To mark the book’s 10th anniversary, award-winning writer/programmer/filmmaker Janisse (WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED) now presents four of the strongest and strangest explorations of onscreen delirium and hysteria, all on American Blu-ray for the first time: Elizabeth Taylor stars in 1974’s IDENTIKIT (aka THE DRIVER’S SEAT) as a hostile woman who travels to Rome to find the most dangerous liaison. In the surreal 1986 Polish horror-comedy I LIKE BATS, a female vampire discovers that love may be the cruelest curse of all. Florinda Bolkan stars in the startling 1975 amnesiac giallo FOOTPRINTS from the director of THE FIFTH CORD. And British screenwriter and radical theatre icon Jane Arden directs 1972’s harrowing THE OTHER SIDE OF THE UNDERNEATH. Each film has been restored from original vault elements, with all-new introductions by the author and hours of Special Features produced exclusively for this collection.

Disc 1: Identikit (1974)
"In what remains the most obscure, bizarre and wildly misunderstood film of her entire career – and perhaps even ‘70s Italian cinema – Elizabeth Taylor stars as a disturbed woman who arrives in Rome to find a city fragmented by autocratic law, leftist violence and her own increasingly unhinged mission to find the most dangerous liaison of all. Academy Award® nominee Ian Bannen (THE OFFENCE), Mona Washbourne (THE COLLECTOR) and Andy Warhol co-star in this “unique, hallucinatory neo noir” (Cult Film Freaks) – barely released in America as THE DRIVER’S SEAT – directed by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi (‘TIS PITY SHE’S A WHORE), adapted from the unnerving novella by Muriel Spark (The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie) and featuring cinematography by three-time Oscar winner Vittorio Storaro (APOCALYPSE NOW, THE LAST EMPEROR), now restored in 4K by Cinematheque of Bologna and Severin Films. "

Special Features:
  • Introduction By Kier-La Janisse, Author Of House Of Psychotic Women
  • Audio Commentary With TCM Underground Curator Millie De Chirico
  • A Lack Of Absence — Writer And Literary Historian Chandra Mayor On Muriel Spark And The Driver's Seat
  • Trailer

Disc Specs:
  • Aspect Ratio: 1.85.1
  • Audio: English Mono / Italian Mono

Disc 2: I Like Bats (1986)

"Directed and co-written by Grzegorz Warchol – the Polish actor best known for his performance in THREE COLORS: WHITE – this 1986 Perspektywa Film Group production combines splashes of absurdist black comedy with jolts of old-school gothic horror for a slyly contemporary take on the female bloodsucker mythos. Katarzyna Walter stars as a happily single young vampire who works in her aunt’s curio shop when not feeding on various suitors and sleazebags. But when she falls for a handsome psychiatrist, she’ll discover that no affliction is more horrific than love. Co-scripted by feminist writer/activist Krystyna Kofta and featuring poet, songwriter and cabaret icon Jonasz Kofta in his sole film role, I LIKE BATS is now scanned in 2K from the only 35mm print known to exist."

Special Features:
  • Introduction By Kier-La Janisse, Author Of House Of Psychotic Women
  • Audio Commentary With Kamila Wielebska, Actor And Co-Editor Of A Story Of Sin: Surrealism In Polish Cinema
  • TV Spot

Disc Specs:
  • Aspect Ratio: 1.66.1
  • Audio: Polish Mono
  • Optional English Subtitles
  • Region Free
  • Runtime: 81 min

Discs 3 & 4: Footprints (1975) – U.S. Cut and Italian Cut

"In the most criminally underseen giallo of the ‘70s, Florinda Bolkan (A LIZARD IN A WOMAN’S SKIN, FLAVIA THE HERETIC) stars as a freelance translator who wakes one morning missing all memory of her past three days. But will a trail of odd clues lead her to a place where perception and identity are never what they seem? Nicoletta Elmi (DEEP RED), Evelyn Stewart (THE SWEET BODY OF DEBORAH), Lila Kedrova (THE TENANT) and Klaus Kinski co-star in this “visually stunning gem” (Mondo Digital) – also known as FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON – directed by Luigi Bazzoni (THE FIFTH CORD) with cinematography by three-time Oscar® winner Vittorio Storaro (THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negatives."

Special Features:

Disc 5: The Other Side of the Underneath (1972)

"It’s been called “harrowing” (The Guardian), “seriously disturbing” (Blu-ray.com) and “part documentary, part primal scream” (Screen Slate). More than half a century later, it remains all that and more: In 1972, screenwriter/feminist/radical theater icon Jane Arden adapted her own multimedia stage production "A New Communion for Freaks, Prophets and Witches" into a nightmarish exploration of reason, chaos and her own battles with mental illness unlike anything audiences have seen before or since. Sheila Allen (CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED), Ann Lynn (THE BLACK TORMENT), renowned visual artist Penny Slinger and Arden herself star in the only British feature film of the 1970s solo-directed by a woman, recently restored in 2K by the British Film Institute"

If you live in America it'd be a bargain, international postage is very expensive these days

You’d need to buy 30 DVD’s at $5 to take advantage of the free international postage for orders over $150.

Haha! Brilliant.

£150 is practically all my disposable monthly income for movies, books and music etc

That's never going to happen.

Think I'll carry on passing by with their sale and just admire their selection, I know I got paid recently but do they think us Brits are made of money
