Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Butterfly Room is a 2012 American-Italian thriller-horror film directed by Jonathan Zarantonello. It is based on Zarantonello's novel Alice dalle 4 alle 5 (Alice from 4 to 5). The film won the Denis-de-Rougemont Youth Award at the 2012 Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival. The storyline revolves around Ann (Barbara Steele), a reclusive and butterfly-obsessed elderly lady who develops a disturbing relationship with a mysterious young girl, years after destroying the relationship with her daughter Dorothy (Heather Langenkamp). Ray Wise, Adrienne King, Camille Keaton, and P.J. Soles also make appearances, as well as James Karen in his final film role; Karen died six years after the film's release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
