Initially reviled in its native land (some critics took exception to the fact the film was largely funded by the Canadian taxpayer), Shivers is an intensely claustrophobic, subversive masterpiece and an essential entry in the oeuvre of one of the horror genre s most gifted auteurs. Some 40 years after its release, it still retains its power to shock. Starliner Island is an idyllic community. Cut off from the rest of the world, the luxury apartment block affords its occupants the chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city. But this isolation is to prove fatal when a new breed of parasite a combination of aphrodisiac and venereal disease which arouses sexual aggression in its hosts is let loose in the building, resulting in an orgy terror and mayhem. Known under a host of alternate titles such as The Parasite Murdersand They Came From Within!, Shivers is the startling debut full-length feature from director David Cronenberg which anticipates the body-horror concerns of his later films such as The Fly and Videodrome. It scares and shocks us because it's so cleverly made --Roger Ebert Cronenberg shows his stuff as an inventive auteur and the result is a superior horror film --Ozus World Movie Reviews Horror movies don't come any cooler than Shivers --SFGate Cronenberg shows his stuff as an inventive auteur and the result is a superior horror film --Ozus World Movie Reviews Horror movies don't come any cooler than Shivers --SFGate Review: Integrity from Arrow and a Masterpiece from Cronenberg: Shivers - Okay, the most important thing first: I bought my copy of the blu-ray / DVD Steelbook in late October 2016 and it was the 2nd Pressing with the previously missing scenes restored. Huge credit to Arrow who said they would fix this and they have. I presume that desertcart'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. Review: Uncut version of Cronenberg's film well worth a buy - Another high quality release from Arrow UK. This is a repressing including new blurb on the back of the sleeve "High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the full original Canadian cut." This is the full uncut version. Recent releases in Australia/New Zealand are still the censored MPAA R-rated version. Very effective Cronenberg film and this is the Arrow version to get. You can disregard any concerns about getting the censored version from desertcart UK. Avoid the Australian/New Zealand releases - all Aust/NZ versions are cut, Blu-ray and DVD. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Al Rochman, Alan Migicovsky, Barbara Steele, Barry Baldaro, Camille Ducharme, Charles Perley, David Cronenberg, Hanna Poznanska, Ivan Reitman, Joe Silver, Julie Wildman, Lynn Lowry, Paul Hampton, Robert Saad, Ronald Mlodzik, Susan Petrie, Vlasta Vrana, Wally Martin Contributor Al Rochman, Alan Migicovsky, Barbara Steele, Barry Baldaro, Camille Ducharme, Charles Perley, David Cronenberg, Hanna Poznanska, Ivan Reitman, Joe Silver, Julie Wildman, Lynn Lowry, Paul Hampton, Robert Saad, Ronald Mlodzik, Susan Petrie, Vlasta Vrana, Wally Martin See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 168 Reviews | | Format | Blu-ray, Import, Widescreen | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05027035016665 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Arrow Video | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 1 hour and 25 minutes | | Studio | Arrow Films | ## Images ![Shivers [Blu-ray] [Region B] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aW+icOMZL.jpg) ![Shivers [Blu-ray] [Region B] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81y+nFQ97tL.jpg) ![Shivers [Blu-ray] [Region B] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81O05CEbe8L.jpg) ![Shivers [Blu-ray] [Region B] - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RLtpXbwcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Integrity from Arrow and a Masterpiece from Cronenberg: Shivers *by P***T on 31 October 2016* Okay, the most important thing first: I bought my copy of the blu-ray / DVD Steelbook in late October 2016 and it was the 2nd Pressing with the previously missing scenes restored.

Remarkable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Uncut version of Cronenberg's film well worth a buy *by T***C on 28 October 2017* Another high quality release from Arrow UK. This is a repressing including new blurb on the back of the sleeve "High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the full original Canadian cut." This is the full uncut version. Recent releases in Australia/New Zealand are still the censored MPAA R-rated version. Very effective Cronenberg film and this is the Arrow version to get. You can disregard any concerns about getting the censored version from Amazon UK. Avoid the Australian/New Zealand releases - all Aust/NZ versions are cut, Blu-ray and DVD. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The UNCUT version is now available from Arrow *by D***R on 12 June 2016* Many were disappointed when they discovered that a few seconds were cut from the Arrow blu-ray - they unwittingly used a slightly cut print as their source. However, that's now been fixed. Arrow managed to find the cut footage, restore it and cut it back into the film, and have now released a second edition that's complete. The uncut edition is labelled 'second edition' in the small print around the edge of the discs themselves. If you have the cut version, contact Arrow Video directly with proof of purchase and they'll send you the uncut version at no extra charge. Impressive conduct - thanks Arrow. The film itself - one of my favourite Cronenbergs. Low budget, but big on ideas. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/48588820-shivers-blu-ray-region-b](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/48588820-shivers-blu-ray-region-b) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
