In 2012, a book debuted that would go on to canonical status and usher in a new way of writing about film. Kier-La Janisse’s House of Psychotic Women was billed as “an autobiographical topography of female neurosis in horror and exploitation films,” and explored hundreds of films through a daringly personal lens.

In this pioneering work, anecdotes and memories interweave with film history, criticism, trivia and confrontational imagery to create a reflective personal history and an examination of female madness, both onscreen and off.

To celebrate its 10th anniversary and the latest expanded edition of House of Psychotic Women, Cinematheque presents a series of films exploring crippling paranoia, desperate loneliness, masochistic death-wishes, dangerous obsessiveness and apocalyptic hysteria. As Kier-La Janisse writes, “cinema is full of neurotic personalities, but few things are more transfixing than a woman losing her mind onscreen”.

Generously sponsored by IATSE 856 and William F. White International.
