HOUSE OF INSANE WOMEN 1971 (CODE RED) BLU-RAY

Weird and interesting Euro film.

The plot is very simple and basic here. A young doctor comes to an asylum and uses new techniques to help the female patients, but those that are in control don't approve of the new methods because it may change things, and heaven forbid we cannot do that.

Analia Gade is Tania, a young woman in the asylum whom the doctor takes a liking to. He treats her with kindness and thru hypnosis learns what has made her an inmate with raging anger issues.

It seems that her mother was exorcised of demons and died while she watched. This film has a somewhat downbeat ending as the young doctor is forced to leave because of his expanded thinking. However the ending does give hope that Tania is on the road to recovery.

Now my complaints, and it isn't with the movie itself. Code Red does a very good job putting out obscure classics and not so classics, however they dropped the ball with this one. After the opening credits the film is very choppy and the reels are out of order!! I have never seen such a glaring mistake!

Hopefully this will be corrected someday, but it doesn't make the story hard to follow, but it is a careless way to release a movie.
