Los Angeles, CA (October 18th, 2011) –

After a theatrical (limited) run in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Philadelphia, Cult Epics will release a new HD transfer of In a Glass Cage for the first time ever on Blu Ray and a new 2DVD Set. The film was directed by award-winning Spanish filmmaker Agusti Villaronga (Black Bread, The Sea, Aro Tolbukhin: In the Mind of a Killer) who also wrote the screenplay. In a Glass Cage was considered highly controversial upon its 1987 release. John Waters ‘top 10 film’, said about the film “They don’t make art-shockers like this anymore. In a Glass Cage is a great film but I’m scared to show it to my friends.” Cult Epics has secured a new HD Transfer of the film, and has produced many new bonus features for its new release.

In a Glass cage, a psychological horror thriller is considered Agusti Villaronga’s Masterpiece, who’s new film Black Bread  was chosen over Pedro Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In, and Benito Zambrano’s The Sleeping Voices to represent Spain for the 2012 Oscars.  In a Glass Cage was recently named one of the most disturbing films ever made by Film Threat Magazine. Listed no. 5 of The Most Disturbing Movies Ever by Totalfilm.com

In a Glass Cage tells the story of an ex-Nazi sadistic child abuser named Klaus (Gunter Meisner) who is paralyzed and depending on an iron lung to live. A young man named Angelo (David Sust) who comes to nurse him was one of his victims years before. In a Glass Cage was inspired by the true story of 15^thCentury French knight Gilles de Rais.
