Huge credit to Arrow who said they would fix this and they have. I presume that Amazon's stock is of the newly updated cut Steelbook as this is what they sent me. Great stuff.The film itself looks astonishing. I first saw this on grainy television in the 90s. How far we have come; I never thought I would see the movie looking this clean and refined. The restoration is outstanding as is the sound. Extras include a retrospective and documentary on the making. But the true star is the film in pristine definition.Cronenberg's body horror classic is still just that: a classic. Concepts of sexual impulse, venereal disease, sterility and blandness versus sexual promiscuity and parasites in the body (four years before the latter hit the mainstream with Ridley Scott's "Alien") helped establish the director as a modern master of filmmaking and script writing. The scene with the nurse's monologue to Dr. St Luc is like a live tap into Cronenberg's mind; a wonderful piece of dialogue from somebody who was obviously bristling with unprecedented ideas and themes. Other aspects also help elevate this film to a higher level of movie: beautiful camerawork including some very effective first-person shots, committed acting from the cast, spot-on special effects and mind-blowing sound effects. Cronenberg knows that there are limitations to what he can do budget-wise but, in working this into the film, he is endlessly inventive.This is the serious Seventies of horror. Pre-80s tongue-in-cheek, naff humour and self-indulgence; "Shivers" is an unrelenting dialogue in concepts that echo long after the film credits roll, not least because pretty much everyone can identify with these feelings and fears. In a new era of horror filmmaking, Cronenberg was way ahead of his time.A true classic of horror filmmaking by one of the genuinely great modern masters of cinema. Remarkable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Silly, but fun *by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2023* This David Cronenberg is somewhat daft. A cross between a slug and a "number 2" is on loose in an condo complex, attacking people, and controlling their mind.It's a silly film that doesn't bear much thought, but I found it fun.It caused some minor moral panic in Canada, because a government fund had contributed to the film's production, so if you're of a sensitive nature, you might not not want to watch this film, especially if you're triggered by assault. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars DAVID CRONENBERG'S FIRST FEATURE FILM ON BLU-RAY WITH NEW SPECIAL FEATURES *by B***0 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2015* I'm a big fan of David cronenberg's films, i've seen most of his films and have them on blu-ray myselfRABID, THE BROOD, SCANNERS, VIDEODROME, THE FLYbut one film i had not seen yet was Shiversapparently Arrow films blu-ray version of shivers was supervised & approved by David cronenbergthat's what it says on the back cover anywayso i bought this Shivers blu-ray out of curiosity and i have some regrets now after i bought itHumans in a High rise Apartment building in Canada being invaded by a parasitethat makes Humans into crazed sex maniacs, there's no scenes of actual sexbut lots of sexual overtones, sexual assaults mainlythere's a scene of Incest, what looks like incest anyway an old father sexually assaulting his teenage Daughterthere's a scene of Lesbianism, Barbara steele's character makes out with Janine Tudor played by Actor Susan petriethere's American & canadian actors in the filmthe Great performances in the film come from Los Angeles actors Barbara steele & Lynn Lowry,the other Male actors in the film are Canadian and had next to no experience as actors for surein one of many Cronenberg interviews i've seen David talks specifically about the Actors/casting in Shiverssaying most of the background supporting Actors were not Actors but people from the streets of Montreal or Torontothat needed to be given Acting lessons from Cronenberg himself scene by scene in the filmso because of some of the Terrible acting performances by some of the Canadian citizens in theHigh rise apartment block where the film was shotsome scenes i did find boring and pointless, again it's a matter of opinionbut the special effects of the parasite were incredible thou, ahead of it's time for surethe HD transfer is suppose to be supervised by Cronenberg himselfso when i watched it i was very impressed with the picture quality, nice sharp & clear picture quality in 1:78:1 widescreennot much dirt & Grain, so excellent Job with the HD transferthe sound quality however was extremely terrible, only mono sounda new 5.1 Master audio mix would've boosted the sound quality for sureit would've sounded Great through my surround sound systembut no 5.1 master mix has been added, only a terribly sounding mono sound, i was angry for sureobviously Arrow films did not bother to add a new 5.1 Master audio mix as an optionwhich they should have done for fans, pathetic effortalso the film appears to be cut, i don't believe this is the full uncut version of the filmotherwise there would be more Blood/Gore, violenceanother thing Arrow films failed to make the effort with was to make sure they got the Unrated cut of the film.also the Artwork is Disgusting, i never like new artwork of any classic filmi always prefer the original poster artwork so when i turned over to see the original artwork Arrow films have given fansi was very annoyed, it should've just been the original artwork of Shivers, not the alternate title They came from withinwhich i think is s*** title, Shivers is better title for the filmapart from the cut version of the filmthe main Highlight of this new blu-ray is the special features, there's lots of thema new retrospect Documentary on the film called PARASITE MEMORIES goes for about 40minsnew interviews with Actors Barbara steele & Lynn lowry, canadian Actor Allan kolmannew interview with special effects artist Joe Blasco who did the blood & Gore effects for shiversand interview with Canadian film critic Kierla Janisseof course there's no new interview with David cronenberg i would have been surprised if there wasON SCREEN which is 45mins TV program broadcast for Canadian TV back in 2005, this episode is on the film Shiversinterviews with David cronenberg, Producer Ivan reitman, executive producer John Dunning and other cast & crew from the filmvery interesting 45mins Doco, lots of behind the scenes footage of David directing scenes from ShiversFROM STEREO TO VIDEO another Documentary about Cronenberg & the History Canadian Horror cinemathe original Theatrical trailer & Promo photo Gallery is included aswellthere's also a new Booklet inside the case with new writing on the film by Paul Corupethis release also has DVD version of the film, i didn't bother with the DVDmost fans watch blu-ray now, dvd is outblu-ray is better quality so i only watched the blu-ray versionthe film is cutBut the picture quality is pretty clear & sharp i must say better than the old dvd releasethe sound quality is really terrible but there's lots of new special features thouso i gave this new blu-ray only 3 stars if thatif the film was the Unrated cut i would give at least 4 stars --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** —
