The Vestron Video Collector’s Series returns when legendary director David Cronenberg’s (The Fly, Scanners) horror classic Shivers arrives on Blu-ray™ and Digital September 15, 2020 from Lionsgate.
A cult favorite, Shivers is acclaimed filmmaker David Cronenberg’s feature-length debut and new title to the Vestron Collector’s Series. When the residents of a luxury apartment complex outside Montreal are infiltrated by parasites and transformed into violent, sex-crazed maniacs, it falls upon Dr. Roger St. Luc to contain the outbreak from spreading to the city at large in a film that “scares and shocks us because it’s so cleverly made,” according to Roger Ebert.
Vestron Video has been a leader in remastering the most unique and wide-ranging selection of classic films. This edition of a timeless take on sexual horror produced by Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters), that stars Paul Hampton (Babylon 5, Heartbreak Ridge, For a Few Lousy Dollars), Joe Silver (Coronet Blue, Rabid, Deathtrap), Barbara Steele (Dark Shadows, Black Sunday, Pit and the Pendulum), and Lynn Lowry (The Crazies, Model Hunger, A Grim Becoming), comes with five new special features (SEE BELOW) including an all-new audio commentary by Cronenberg. Shivers will be available on Blu-ray and Digital for the suggested retail price of $17.99.
